VariableTriggers

Table of Contents

VTV2

Make your own plugin like features and more using VariableTriggers

This is a very powerful plugin that has unlimited potential. Create triggers that run lines of script when a player Clicks or Walks on a block (dirt, door, switch, trigger, torch, any block) or Create Event Triggers such as PlayerDeath , EntityDeath, BlockBreak, BlockPlaced, Join, Quit, Respawn, Interact and EntitySpawn that also run scripts. You can define Area Triggers and Command Triggers as well. You can use Dynamic Object variables and conditional IF and ELSE statements in the scripts. You can run any command that a player or OP can run and many speacial built-in commands to Teleport, Spawn Entities, Play Effects Visual or Sound, Set Blocks, Toggle Blocks, Check Players Heath and much more!. The scripts are executed on their own threads to take the strain off of the main server thread.

Im trying to make something a bit simpler.

Here is what I've got so far. Essentials adds the delay (I forgot that), so I just changed my @CMDOP to @CMD. So that is solved.

But! I want to make it so that IF a player successfully warps, THEN it will do a @PLAYER message..

I have tried doing @IF s <worldname> = Minigames BUT the problem is that it gets the worldname from BEFORE the TP. (Yes, I have added a @PAUSE 10 even!)

This one's a fun one, let's see what I can do! I'll do it a little differently than normal so that you can't cheat it.

  parkour:
    Override: true
    Script:
    - '@IF b $parkour_init.<playername> = true'
    - '@EXIT'
    - '@ENDIF'
    - '@SETBOOL $parkour_init.<playername> true'
    - '@PLAYER &bNow taking you to the Parkour. &aPlease wait 5 seconds and DO NOT MOVE! Otherwise it will cancel the teleport.'
    - '@PAUSE 1'
    - '@SETBOOL $parkour_allow.<playername> true'
    - '@SETSTR $parkour_loc.<playername> <currentloc:<playername>>'
    - '@LOOP 10'
    - '@IF s $parkour_loc.<playername> != <currentloc:<playername>>'
    - '@AND b $parkour_allow.<playername> = true'
    - '@SETBOOL $parkour_allow.<playername> false'
    - '@PLAYER &cYou moved! You will not be sent to the parkour. Try again...'
    - '@SETBOOL $parkour_init.<playername> false'
    - '@ENDIF'
    - '@PAUSE 0.5'
    - '@ENDLOOP'
    - '@IF b $parkour_allow.<playername> = true'
    - '@CMDOP warp parkour'
    - '@SETBOOL $parkour_allow.<playername> false'
    - '@SETBOOL $parkour_init.<playername> false'
    - '@PLAYER Right click a sign to be TPed to the parkour!'
    - '@ENDIF'

I tested it on my server and it works fine. Remember to have AdvancedMode on.

Added a node to ensure you can't spam it over and over

Gosh, I love this plugin :)

Just a quick question. I have a command called "/parkour" :

parkour:

Override: true Script: - '@PLAYER &bNow taking you to the Parkour. &aPlease wait 5 seconds' - '@PAUSE 5' - '@CMDOP warp parkour' - '@PAUSE 2' - '@PLAYER &bRight click a sign to join parkour.' === Because this is a PVP server, I have it wait 5 seconds before tping, but this command can still be abused.

How can I make it so that during the 5 seconds wait period, if a user moves, it will cancel the script?

If you look for a generic auto-message plugin that would probably be less stressful on your server than making one with VT as you would have a thread open nearly 24/7. You may need to turn on advanced mode as well to enable loops (find out how in the documentation).

There's currently a bug in bukkit with spawning them. Essentials /spawnmob also has the same issue. They do fight with melee, however!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge @Lyoko_Firelyte . It has been immensely helpful as I have been learning to better use VT. I have a quick question for you if you don't mind.

Does @ENTITY always spawn skeletons and pig zombies without weapons? I did the following...

- ' @ENTITY ZOMBIE <random1to:10> <playerloc>' - ' @ENTITY SKELETON <random1to:4> <playerloc>' - ' @ENTITY PIG_ZOMBIE <random1to:4> <playerloc>'

... and both of the groups spawn unarmed. Skeletons without bows don't fight very well. Is there an additional bit I am missing to arm them?

I got the ScoreboardStats plugin, but the character limit is getting in the way.

How can I make an automessager?

No problem :) I've made many systems that are better than full plugins using this plugin and I like to share my knowledge about it with people.

As for your scoreboard, you'd have to use @CMDOP or @CMDCON to execute /scoreboard commands in your scripts - it can't make a fake scoreboard GUI or anything like that on it's own.

Im trying to use this to replace as many plugins as I can. Btw, Lyoko_Firelyte, thanks for being so helpful!

It it possible to make a stats menu at the right side of the screen for players (kinda of like the ScoreboardStats plugin) that I can just add text into, but not have the character limit.

You'd need to make / download a plugin for that.

If you want to get semi-crazy, you could do a boolean item check for whatever "legendary" item they need and have a command that triggers a countdown, and use the variable for where they are aiming for where lightning / blocks / fire / etc would go. I made a few-thousand-line script that creates classes but it's really not what you're looking for.

@jasoncher

    - '@IF b $single_login.<playername> = false'
    - '@SETBOOL $single_login.<playername> true'
    - '@ADDINT $total.logins 1'
    - '@BROADCAST Welcome, <playername>! You are unique player <var:$total.logins>!'
    - '@ENDIF'

I swapped it to a false check instead of true so it's a tad shorter. #optimization

@Jones988

I've found looking at the raw vardata does not update correctly sometimes, but the values exist. Also, Join events only effect the world you specified for it. If you have multiple worlds, convert the join script into a script.yml file and run a @CALL in each world to save yourself time. Or just copy/paste into each world. If you open your event triggers.yml it should say "World:... etc" and then the scripts for that world.

Sidenote: What's with everyone using an object as <playername>? It makes more sense to store <playername> as variable/extension such as login.<playername> because the group would be "login" and <playername> would be a list of players. Food for thought.

I tried creating an event called "Join" which would run this command on player join:

@SETBOOL $<playername>.login true

looking further in to detail, I looked at vardata.yml and found that the people that joined did not have this bolean as true. some people did have it as true though.

Any solutions?

not sure about unique players, but you could make a:

'@ADDINT $<playername>.joinamount 1'
'@IF i $<playername>.joinamount = 1'
'@BROADCAST Welcome <playername>! to the server!'

Thanks! But how would I make it broadcast on a players first join.

Ex : When a player joins for the first time, it would do : @BROADCAST Welcome [Userjoining] to the server! [UniquePlayerCount] unique players have joined!
