Rust Player placed pump jack

Discussion in 'Plugin Requests' started by TracerB, Oct 26, 2016.

  1. I know I can deploy pump jacks (PJ) as admin. But I'd love a plugin that lets players place them themselves.

    Bare minimum features (I hope this is an easy implement):
    • Place PJ with chat command (with player access to command)
    • A way to stop PJ spam. My idea: A configurable radius around placed PJ's that another PJ can't be placed in.

    Nice to have features (imagine some of this will be harder to do):
    • Crafting recipe and inventory item.
    • Place like Quarry. (just let them be placed on any survey crater)
    • Configurable PJ output.
    I hope someone finds this project interesting and takes it on :)
     
  2. As far as I know because the recipe display is client side you wouldnt be able to add it as a component.
    I mean it would be cool but short of making like a server reward type display for this craft I dont see how you could display the recipe.
    There IS still oil in the ground that can vary how much crude is pumped out per low grade. I just dont know if there is a way to get oil to pop on a survey charge.
    Might be able to place a quarry that digs out oil, stone and metal ore maybe?

    The only way to place oilpump is with Entity create thats an admin command... u can give Players the oilpump but they cant place it because u cant add those oilspots on the surveycharge because they are removed or deactivated and you cant bring them back with a mod.
     
  4. Can't a mod make a spesific admin command available for players? Im not asking for the full survey system back. Only for players to be allowed to place them.
     
  5. Most of your requests aren't possible. Similar to quarries, the survey charge has to extract oil, which makes placing them impossible without admin commands. I suppose you could make some complicated plugin that spawns oil when survey charges blow up, then use a command to place them. Keep in mind players could easily abuse this, and spawn them everywhere.
     
  6. Forget survey charges then. All I need is a player command to place them and a way to stop them from beeing spawned everywhere (see my radius around a placed PJ idea).
     
  7. Not bad idea, maybe can help many owner serv
