PlayerTrails

PlayerTrails introduces amazing trail effects left behind players locations if they have permission! Includes head tails which fire every 5 ticks and feet trails which fire when you move!
* 21 unique trails
* head trails which fire every 5 ticks
* feet trails which fire when you move
* per-world trails
* easy item menu to choose trail - /trail to set feet trail, /trail head to set head trail
* set players trails using command blocks! /trail (player) (type) or /trail head (player) (type). you can use @p or @r in the command block also, i have not tested @a.
* trail (type) - Sets your feet trail
* trail head (type) - Sets your head trail

Note - when using the item menu to pick your trail, if you choose a trail that requires an argument it will send you a message saying "=== Please Enter Arguments ==". You then just have to enter what argument you want, just say it no commands. so you could say for mob trail "slime" or "zombie".

This plugin uses an updating api to automatically download updated from bukkitdev. the auto-updater page can be found: Here Auto-Updating can be turned off by opening the file "/plugins/updater/config.yml" and changing "disable: false" to "disable: true".
This plugin uses metrics to record data. If you wish to turn this off simply go to your plugins folder then into the PluginMetrics folder and then open the file config.yml and change opt-out: false to opt-out: true. Metrics is helpful to see stats about how your plugin is going, like how many servers are using it.
Examples of what data Metrics collects:
* Server Type / Version
* Java Version
* Minecraft Version
* Metrics version!
* Amount of players
* Operating system & version
* Auth mode
What data metrics does not collect:
* IPs
* Nicknames
Here is one of the graphs that metrics generates:

It is really cool, me and my girlfriend use hearts trails, because, ya know, it is relevant, but all the players love this too, a great VIP feature.

Just do stuff like trail.* or trail.mob.* or trail.block.* and that does all of them :)
look at my server chalkcrafthub.zapto.org

Posted Feb 2, 2014You really need to add a permission that allows 1 to have all the trails. For example:
trail.all = have all trails
trail.mob.all = all mob
trail.block.all = all blocks
Its just a pain to type them all in seperately

Posted Feb 1, 2014I've been trying to add permission for a chicken trail to a group, but it hasn't been working.
trail.mob.chicken and trail.mob together haven't got it to work, am I getting it wrong?

Posted Jan 20, 2014Whenever there is a player in another world, eg the nether or the end, the trails don't appear and the console is spammed with this error:
CONSOLE: Source) [?:?] CONSOLE: ERROR]: Could not pass event PlayerMoveEvent to Smoke Trail v5.4 CONSOLE: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot measure distance between world_nether and world
Constant spam of that, anyone know how to fix that? Another glitch I found is that the trails star, loot and flowers sometimes glitch and drop the items.

give them each of the trail permissions.
@colamonster091
you should get a group manager
@NodexServers
unfortunately this plugin is not easy on the cpu when there are many players using it at the same time.
@toxictroop
i may add a permission for head and feet trails in the next update

@BlackFing85 With my permissions plugin I have to manually add the permission in-game for others to receive it. Adding a permissions node with my permissions plugin atleast for me doesn't allow me to give others a trail.

Posted Dec 30, 2013Added this plugin to my server with 100+ players and TPS took a big hit. I disabled the plugin via API and TPS returned to 19.93.
Would love to use the plugin but have performance issue/concern.
Contact me if you want to troubleshoot with me.
Thanks.
