I replied to your PM and it's a know exploit against WorldGuard that has been around since the beginning of PS and is easily blocked as I mention about 1 every few months.

PS uses WorldGuard for all is't protection, and to keep PS fast and lite, it doesn't have it's own database.

So there is no means to constantly protect the PS's since this is the role of WorldGuard.

You can set PS's to autohide and block players from unhiding them to prevent this exploit against WG, you can also use other plugins to block Piston Attacks on WorldGuard Regions, and one day WG will probably add this feature.

See the Exclusion.WORLDS List and the Exclusion.PLACEMENT Options at the bottom of the Configuration Page to exclude worlds or change the way ProtectionStones Work on excluded worlds.

By default the unhide command is set to allow anyone to use it, this is so people not running a permissions plugin, or not wanting to configure the plugin can run it without changing anything.

If you open the protectionstones.jar file in an archive program like 7zip, you can edit the plugin.yml.

Simply find the the "protectionstones.unhide" permission in the plugin.yml and either change the default to false or op.

Here's what it looks like before you change it:

protectionstones.unhide:

description: Allows Use of the Unhide Command

default: true

Also many permissions plugins like PermissionsEX allow you to set a mode that by passes the permission defaults in the plugins plugin.yml file, you would need to determine that by checking your permissions plugin.

Please see the Permissions Page for more information.

@sayoui

What you are showing is a known piston exploit against WorldGuard, since PS uses WorldGuard for all it's protection anything that works against WorldGuard will work against PS.

You have the option of disabling the unhide command, and also using other PS Features like autohide (with unhide), autohide with single use, etc. to stop such exploits, there are even other plugins that block piston exploits.

PS is written to be as fast and efficient as possible, so it doesn't have it's own database and also doesn't monitor all the possible exploits that could be done to a region or the PS itself.

@dropposite

I'll answer them with your question numbers...

1. The limit is for all WorldGuard Regions the player has ProtectionStones and Regular WorldGuard Regions.

2. There is no way to change the default naming, to make PS faster it uses WG's Database, so to keep track of the stones it needs the coordinates stored in the name. (As a note if you change the name of a PS Region via WG's Region Command then it will no longer function as a PS Region).

3. The max number of PS's are by world, and world's can be excluded, please read the Configuration Page for more information.
