LadderAnywhere [Unmaintained]

Deicide666ra submitted a new resource:

LadderAnywhere - Allows players to deploy ladders anywhere regardless of building privs

Read more about this resource...

 

Excellent thing ! I like people who think about building a good house taking those ladders into account. I will try it another day and tell you if there is a bug.

Code:

· Ladders will be placeable where they usually would not. I haven't tested it but I assume radtowns, trees, rock nodes, large furnaces, quarries, etc.

rocks - trees, ... ? a bit too much no ? ;-)

 

LOL indeed, I kind of rushed this because there was a request on here for it. New version incoming with a configurable blacklist.

 

Deicide666ra updated LadderAnywhere with a new update entry:

1.0.1

 

I will test it today !

on external wall, we don t have the hitbox if we are at 5m.

Should be nice to increase this 5m ?

We can place ladders but without seeing the ladder in red on the wall. Do you see what I mean ?

ps: I will show you in a video.

 

The 5m is a bit buggy, not sure why, I might have messed up in the code (first time using raycast, totally stole the code from another plugin).

As for the ladders not showing on wall, I can't do anything about that as far as I know, that's how Rust displays them client side when you do not have building privs. The plugin allows you to place them without building privs but you still are in a no build zone.

 

Oki Decide.

I have recorded a small video. I will edit it and upload on youtube ( in french ) you will see. Should be there in 30min ( will edit my post )

12.41 pm : Here is the video showing in action :

 

Merci Je suis québécois en passant. Pour la distance, bien qu'elle soit boguée, tu peux quand même changer le paramètre dans la config json (maxDist). Comme j'expliquais, je ne sais pas pourquoi ma vérification de distance semble si limitative, pourtant je vérifie la distance entre le joueur et le point visé en utilisant Vector3d.Distance, normalement ça doit retourner en mètres la distance entre deux points.

Translation:
Thank you I'm from Quebec btw. For the distance issue, even though it's bugged, you can change the maxDist parameter in the json config. As I as saying, I don't understand why my distance check seems so limiting, I check the distance between the player and the raycast hit using Vector3d.Distance which should normally give me the distance in meters between the two points.

 

Before patch, was it possible to use ladder on rocks ? I think so but not sure anymore.
Avant le patch, c'était possible d'utiliser l'échelle sur les rochers ? Je pense que oui mais plus sûr.

En tout cas super à utiliser pour notre serveur. Sinon ca devient juste impossible de raid.
Et leur système de couverture d'armoire en ligne médiane... On l'a changé aussi pour remettre sphérique.

 

Before they broke the ladders yes you could put them on rocks (most of them anyways, depended on the angles).

And we use the spherical cupboard plugin on my server too! Haven't had any complaints yet it works pretty well.

 

Hi.
Do you think it would be possible to add a timeframe to use ladders ?

I would like to get, as for other plugins, the possibility to set :

Laddersanywhere allowed from .... till .... ( and outside this period it is not allowed ? )

eg : laddersAnywhere activated between 6pm till 1am

I would love such a feature as my server has a raid period allowed from 6pm till 1am ( outside those hours, I desactivate the plugin manually via rconcommand. ) ( but if I am not connected, the command will not be launched )

Thx !!

 

You could probably use something like m-TimedExecute to load/unload the plugin instead of me having make a specific feature for this.

 

will look at it. Thx.

I must admit I don t know how to do and use it...

Code:

"OnceCommands": [
    {
      "command": "say 'test1!'",
      "seconds": 300
    },

 

Ah! Well I found an "issue".. With the default config you can put ladders on anti-ladder lips by targeting the under edge of the lip. Might want to add "floor" to your blacklists if you do not want that happening on your servers.

 

I will add that even I have not understood exactly what it does ;-) Anti ladder lips ? Thx

What is your blacklist for the moment ?

Mine are :

Code:

{
  "authLevel": 0,
  "blacklist": [
    "player",
    "ladder",
    "cupboard",
    "furnace",
    "barricade",
     "floor",
    "storage"
  ],
  "maxDist": 5.0,
  "radiationCheck": true

 

This is how I run it:

Code:

{
  "authLevel": 0,
  "blacklist": [
    "wall.external",
    "player",
    "ladder",
    "cupboard",
    "furnace",
    "barricade",
    "storage",
    "tree",
    "floor"
  ],
  "maxDist": 7.5,
  "radiationCheck": true
}

People those anti-ladder floor tiles sticking out of bases to prevent people from laddering up base sides... With the plugin you can just point at the edge of one of those floor tiles and stick a ladder through it, but that is close enough to the edge to still use it. Basically the whole ladder is stuck on like 3" of material.

We block high walls on mine, it's a pretty well balanced setup. Prevents the pre-patch free-for-all of just having all your compounds full of ladders every morning. People who build lips on their wall access points have decent protection, people need to pick or c4/rocket the lip to get in so still "easy" to get it but not close-to-free.

 

this plugin can bypass build ladders in cupboard area ???

 

Yeah, but it does not use the clients ladder placement animation, its a point and slash command thing. Been running it since I released it and so far not too many issues popped up. I need to release a small fix I made though, i'll do that tonight.

 

hi.

I would like to know the name for rock ? Rock ? rocks ? I tried different names to add that name in the plugin but still can put ladders on rock.

 

If you look at the code in the last function there is a "for" loop in which there is a commented line... Just uncomment it and reload the plugin.

When you try to place a ladder, you will get a message in the console that will tell you what's been found by the raycast. You can just add part of that string to the blacklist to block it.
