I created own arena with different mobs to fight with, and also SKELETONS spawns without weapon. I used another plugin only for spawning mobs :(

Lottery, server calendar (with players birthdays), Arena(now rebuilding), Parkour(3 stages), /tp command , /sethome /home commands , bying WG regions, Server Ranks and many more.

Check out the plugin, PhatLoots. With this, you can make your Monsters spawn with anything, loots included.

Edtrud:
I started to create a suggested script. But then, I looked at your post again and realized that what I was going to suggest probably isn't what you need. Your post is very vague as to what you are trying to do. If you outline what you want your script to do one step at a time, in detail, by the time you are finished, you would probably be able to answer your own questions. This is what I do when my scripts start getting too complex. With this, I usually come up with cleaner, more efficient, and rock solid scripting in less time.

If you still need help, post your issue in the VariableTrigger Forums with a detailed discription of what you want this script to do. I'll look for it there.

How Can I make it so a redstone would re-apear in the same place after 4 seconds? like a want a Piston to be activated 4 seconds without stopping @TOGGLEBLOCK removes it but i can add another scrpt in the script

Okay, i did a huge discovery. It's actually quite logical.
So, my server seemed to lagg very badly and VariableTriggers was causing it, i could see that with the nolagg examine tool.

I delete all the VT data and files and the lagg was gone, so I knew it wasn't the plugin itself, but something I made. So i imported every fill each and examined them by one. Then i discovered that whenever a script needs to check a variable of a player, it loads the whole file and causing a huge lagg spike.

My VarData file has 50.000 lines. So yeah lol. Because every player that teleports or runs a script gets a variable for the cooldown. For example, teleport walktrigger, CALLING a script. First thing the script does is:

- '@IF i $<playername>.teleport < <secondticks:0>'
- ' @SETINT $<playername>.teleport <secondticks:5>'

So yeah almost every player has like 3 lines for some kind of script or trigger.
I will try to delete the variable for a player when the command is done, maybe that fixes the huge amount of variable information.

Any advice? :)

Got a Big Problem... Skeletons spawn without bows...

using /vtwalk @ENTITY SKELETON 5

Hey,

Could you tell me if this error is VariableTriggers related or not?

Also, the plugin gives a lot of lagg. When i examine the server with NoLagg all the lagg spikes are coming from variabletriggers.
I didn't had this issue when the server was 1.5.2 so assume my scripts aren't the problem.

Thanks!

@SETBLOCK causes java.lang.IllegalStateException Asynchronous block onPlace! block place error with latest spigot builds. Some of my builds has been broken=(

Hey,

First of all, this is one of my most favorite plugins! Really appreciate the work lex, i scripted a lot of things for my server with this. Including my dungeon, but it has a bug since 1.6.2
When using the @SETBLOCK command it trows me an error when setting a block from sand to 0.

Thanks!

Lexlaiden, your plugin has got to be one of my favorites!

I only have two request, tho neither may be possible,

1, is it possible to remove the "unknown command, type help for a list of possible commands' when using the commands i set with vt? 2, could the code in the files be made with less formatting? still keeping all the same code and such, just not so many spaces and dashes?

as a programmer I found this pluggin to be seriously fun more so after I figured out how to turn on loops (nice job hiding them) the coding in files just becomes a real pain after a while when I have to format so much, so precisely (i know you can't easily change the precision requirement)

Thanks!

are there any tuts on how to make a giant door like in that one vid with the castle looking building? i can't find any video tuts!

I would love to except I'm not a Java coder. I need to concentrate on getting my game finished and don't have the time to learn another programming language right now. That's why I chose to go with VT. Lexlaiden has done a great job on VT and anyone that knows basic programming can be creating custom scripts in no time with practally no learning curve.

@AncientTom

Ah sorry, I misread your post. I didn't even know about the existence of a delobject command. I agree, on your scale it will become a lot more important to keep track of your variables.

By the way, are sure it's not better for you to create your own plugins in Java?

Nikecow:
Actually, that 1 MB file is the text that represents what will be loaded into memory. What is actually loaded into memory is all the objects, their methods and properties as well as the data loaded into the variables that are represented by those lines of text. When a new object is created, a request for blocks of memory is made to the mmu, not bytes.

The two commands, @DELVAR and /vt delobj, are different things. /vt delobj removes the whole object and according to the documentation, returns it's memory back to the memory pool. @DELVAR only removes that property from the Object.

With all the scripting I am doing to run my game, I am beginning to think about resource usage. If an average variable object is using 256k of memory and with100 scripts running, each creating 5 different variable objects, the amount  of displaced memory resources would be enough to displace several players. Unlike a real programming environment that creates and destroys a function along with it's local variables in real time, all VT's variables are static and global. Each time you add a script or command that creates variables for it's operation, testing, and looping, all those variables remain behind after the script is finished. They still occupy memory space. I have 56 scripts created so far and have at least this much more to go.

I asked about your use of @DELVAR at the end of your script to find out if you knew whether or not VT removed the Object when all it's properties were removed. As I said, /vt delobj is very noisy and it would be good to know about this as an option.

@AncientTom

Hey Tom,

As far as I know @DELVAR does exactly the same as as the command variant.

Honestly, even if it didn't it's not a big deal. We are talking about bytes here. My vardata.yml (This is loaded in your memory) is only 1MB with 75000 lines.

Nikecow:
I see at the bottom of your script that you use @DELVAR to remove variables before exiting. Do you know if this releases any of the object's memory like /vt delobj does? I use /vt delobj to release memory at the end of a script but it spits out lines of text to the player's text line and spews out a long list of all your objects to the console each time it's used. Some might think this to be a Feature but I find it to be anoying while monitoring game activity on the console.

For the ones interested I've shared one of my scripts here :)
