TorchThrow
TorchThrow
Info This plugin allows for long range torch placement in a very aesthetically pleasing manner. Rather than simply providing the player with long reach distance, this plugin allows players to throw 3D torches which stick to walls by pressing Q with a torch in their hand.
Permissions torchthrow.throw: allows a player to throw torches as described above torchthrow.magic: gives a player access to the /torchthrow command, which throws a torch without consuming one
TO-DO
- Optional timeout of thrown torches, ie they will break after a configurable amount of time and drop as an item
Updates
This plugin will be maintained indefinitely, however new functionality will only be updated if interest is shown, so post a comment, download, and make suggestions, this plugin is for you :D

Posted Oct 6, 2012You need to make this so that it will just 'infinitely bounce' or something in claimed Factions, Towny, or Worldguarded areas.

Posted Oct 2, 2012First of all, I would like to apologize for the lack of updates to this plugin. For some time I have been focusing my attention on pumping out a couple of plugins to post when updates become far between. Second of all, I have been spending the rest of my time perfecting Grapple, and a little more on Shields. That has left no time for development of TorchThrow, but I am happy to announce that I have resumed work on it, however regret to inform you all that torches sticking to walls isn't a likely feature in the near future, simply because Bukkit's api has no way of detecting when a falling block(your thrown torch) hits a block. I am submitting a request to the Bukkit devs to add this in their next Beta release, because without it, it simply isn't possible to use a 3D torch model and have it stick to a wall. If you are a plugin dev and have ideas on how to do it, PM me, but believe me, I have tried some interesting ways to make it happen already.

You toss the torch item onto the ground without a plugin, as an item drop, as with any other item. This plugin makes you throw a 3D torch that turns into the torch block on impact.

I assume you had toss item rebound to another key? Maybe I should mention that...

Posted Sep 29, 2012Might want to update this to say when you drop a torch. It took me forever to figure out why Q wasn't working... :P Nice job though!

I don't think anyone else is experiencing this problem... try to update Craftbukkit, or re-download the plugin. If the problem persists, post here again and I will try to help you.
@NodexServers
The plugin used the BlockFormEvent, and it is almost impossible to make this a quick fix, I will add respect for WorldGaurd and Factions in a big update with torches sticking to walls, if I can get that to work. I'm currently busy on my command free grapple hook plugin, so you can expect this to update a few days after Grapple is released :D

Posted Sep 27, 2012Hey there, I'm not sure if I did something wrong here, in which case I would feel like a real idiot, but it seems my server isn't detecting your plugin. I placed the .JAR in the server's plugins folder, and it isn't mentioned in the console or /plugins, even after a restart. All my other plugins work fine, but this one just doesn't seem to show up.

I looked through the code, and it calles the BlockFormEvent when the torch forms, so WorldGaurd should protect from it.

Not a bad idea, and I think it is doable, I'm on it.

Posted Sep 26, 2012Does this obey worlguard protections to prevent griefing and abuse? Would also be awesome i you supported plugins like logblock so the placement was properly logged.

That's what the plugin does, it lets you trow torches in order to place them from farther away.

Posted Sep 26, 2012I tried this out but wasn't what I was expecting, I placed a torch on wall then a torch thew out of my hand and placed itself on the ground. Is that what's supposed to happen?
I was thinking that no matter where I was facing a torch would fly out of my hand and where ever it lands stick, now that would be awesome.
