PistonChest

Table of Contents

You can now give pistons certain abilities which extend their basic boring nature.

Supports:

LWC (command 'pcpassword <password>' allows the user to assign a password to a piston, to give to LWC password protected chests)
Lockette
Secure Chests

About:

Whenever you place a piston it will be registered in your name. This prevents players from destroying them or claiming them for themselves. PistonChest supports the above plugins which can prevent a piston from accessing a chest if they do not have permission. In this plugin there are certain abilities which modify how the piston behaves, and can be combined to create the ultimate machine. The basic ability is being able to push and retrieve blocks and items from a chest. In order to add an ability the player must use the specified tool (default: stick) then right click on their piston to bring up a GUI from where they can either add items to use abilities or simply turn them on and off. See below for a list of abilities...

To Install,

Copy and paste the 'PistonChest.jar' file into the plugin folder...

No more need for Commands!

Use a stick by default to modify your piston functionality! (Version 1.8)

Is it possible to stop the piston from being able to push bedrock or obsidian?

Yer I think my method of accessing the database was long and required alot of memory. And when using heaps of pistons at once it kinda just lags heaps. uses heaps of memory. hah.

But i changed it so let me know how it goes :) May have to wait till the update gets approved though. its still pending. its the 1.6.2 version

Thanks. I'll test it this evening and get back to you.

For the record, the plugin worked fine when it was being used normally (one piston pushing into one chest). It started malfunctioning after one of my users added it to a smooth stone generator. He had the thing setup such that six pistons pushed simultaneously into six chests. At that point it started putting out the memory errors and causing lag.

Using 1.6.1, I'm getting serious errors on Bukkit 1.4.5-R0.1. The plugin appeared to work fine at first, but quickly started spamming the console with the following text, and causing significant server lag:

Can you add more customization on the config file so you can pick what pistons can do eg. Pull items out of a chest. Also could you add secure chest support?

Looking at the error message, there is an error in the database. You can recreate it by deleting everything but the config file from the directory.

------

I just installed the version with the DB, and I got two database files: PistonChest.db with 0 bytes pistonchest.db with some KB

(I guess you tested on windows where you'd get exactly one file.)

(Suggestion: If you start typing things twice, use a (global or local) constant. If you decide to make it configurable, changing it will be much easier. HTH)

Would it be possible to check the chest first? If the chest is full, have the block simply collide with the chest (as it would normally without this plugin - piston wouldn't activate). As of right now, if the box is full, every new item will be deleted.
