War Tracker

Yeah, I've discovered what the problem is and wracking my brains for a fix.
It would appear that cubes do not have a way of determining their owner (That I can work out, so far).
So the problem I am facing is in detecting who owns the base to work out if they are at war.
Any ideas?

 

Yeah like I said, I think the only way of doing it would be with the exact location of each block added to a text file. That was the big issue with the Wartime plugin. The trebs could still be used because the stone wasn't attached to a player like the balista bolts were. The answer might be in crests. Like the cabinets in rust, the crests are the only way to determine who is in control of the immediate area and what is init.

 

The functionality already exists in other code. It's a matter of narrowing it down by owner.
[DOUBLEPOST=1434054246][/DOUBLEPOST]Oop, didn't see the above two messages.
[DOUBLEPOST=1434054350][/DOUBLEPOST]Scorpyon, the code I sent you handles trebs. It can't pull the owner of them, but it can null their damage. Also nulls damage of all other weapons. I think people would even be happy if your War Tracker automatically toggled block protection for ALL blocks. Doesn't have to be for certain owners just yet. Perhaps by owner could be in the future.

Fix - Base damage not preventing damage

Thanks Andrew - I' haven't had a chance to test trebs properly yet. They may still be a problem. (Being hassled to spend time with the wife! heh!)
I'll get onto them sohortly. In the meantime, I may have something else ready for you...

 

Oooh, I'm curious.

The above is an image of what I'm talking about.

 

Noticing an issue with the base and crest protection. While I have both activated it still lets me damage a base but not the crest however players say they can damage the crest even with the crest message showing. Not sure if it is loaded correctly for the server entirely or just certain players?

That's very bizarre!
It's not a message I've put in - perhaps it has something to do with the WarTime mod?
Does it still happen if you disable WarTime?

Hmm. It shouldnt be player-specific.
Rather, it should check if your guild is currently at war.
Either way, I'll double check this tonight. Going to have a good test through of this mod tonight for niggly issues.

 

So the issue so far is that the plugin can not determine who the objects belong too so therefore can not allow the bases to take damage? Not a coder or anything but is it possible to narrow down who own what by what is in the conquered crest area that is currently at war?

 

Possibly - if I could work out how Crest area is determined... ^_^
I'm disappearing in and out of rabbit holes with this one so far! LoL!

 

BIG BUG: Due to the block protection, you can infinitely salvage blocks.

If a player tries to salvage blocks it gives them the resource, but does no damage to the block itself.
[DOUBLEPOST=1434388297][/DOUBLEPOST]I believe the code I sent you should show lines that differentiate between player owned and salvage.

 

I litreally just came to report this ha ha yeah people place blocks in or out a uncrested area and use the as nodes but nodes that never decay cause of the base protection XD

 

Crap!
Sorry guys - I'm on it like a car bonnet... !!

Didn't receive any code mate ;-/
[DOUBLEPOST=1434390340][/DOUBLEPOST]For now, turn of the /warnobase toggle.
I'm looking for a fix...

This time with the message to all players...

 

I litreally just read the last post about toggle warnobase and you provide a fix lmao you are a coder version of the flash

 

The code I sent you before.

 

Spankly! XD
[DOUBLEPOST=1434393012][/DOUBLEPOST]

Ah right, ok cool. Will look into that.

 

Any update on the base protection bug?

 

Cheers for your patience on the issues outstanding.
Lots to keep me busy at the moment, but rest assured I will be getting them all done as soon as I can (this one included!)

 

No problem mate Can only imagine how swamped you are with stuff to do.
