Is /build working for anyone?

I cannot for the life of me get /build to work.

I type in /build box 5 "wood block"
it prints to chat "Build Complete"
but nothing shows up...

I also tried /build box 5 323
Same thing happened.

Anyone else figure out how to make this work or is anyone working on a plugin that will let me build a large platform from a command.

 

I don't usually use the command to build blocks as i have heard server saying they needed to wipe due to the lag this command has caused for them. However I do use it to help erase inactive bases by doing /build cube 10 0 but I see your issue you have not put cube or sphere as the command "box" is not a command you can use.

 

not according to the /help build

 

hmm never noticed these new shapes but if they don't build anything then im going to assume their not entirely functional yet.

 

what i need is a /build platform or something. I need a 1 tall 20 x 20 platform.

Anyone working a plugin like this at all?

at this point we can probably move this thread to plugin requests.
[DOUBLEPOST=1435096676][/DOUBLEPOST]I was looking at the /build command in the assembly and I can't make heads or tails of it.

 

You're not entering it correctly,

Type /build <buildtype> <buildsizeXbyX> <material>

Eg:
/build maze 20 2

There are 4 types of builds: Maze,Cube,Sphere and Ball as far as I know
there are 8 or 9 types of materials, which are all diff kinds of blocks, so 1-8 goes through cobblestone,wood,logs,sod etc etc
If you want to delete blocks you need to build "air", which is 0 on the materials table.
The reason why nothing was being built for you is because you were essentially building with air, "323" or "woodblock" would default to air.

So if you want a 20x20 platform I'd go with /build cube 20 2
Btw don't go mad with this command, I once hit 1kx1k and it covered 1/3 of stormwall, crashed everyone's client lol

 

/build cube 20 2

that will make a cube 20 x 20 x 20...

I need 20 x 1 x 20

length x height x width

and yes i did figure out it was looking for material and not itemid

 

Pretty much, you'd have to whittle the rest away by hand :/
haven't seen anyone make a custom /build command, should be possible though, could be very useful

 

yep i'm working on it but at the moment it appears to only spawn in client side. working on getting it to sync to the server.

 

Awesome! I'd love to know when you finish it!
Btw offtopic but is there any guide/school/source you can point to for plugin development? or lua/C# ?

 

I learn from looking at existing plugins.

Although, I taught myself other languages as well like HTML, Javascript, PHP.
And while I was in High School I took classes in Basic, Visual Basic, C, C++, Java so I guess I have an advantage of knowing what works in other languages.

 

Cool, thanks
