New Flag: NoLightningPortal
« on: September 02, 2012, 12:34:17 PM »
The NoLightningPortal flag would make it so if a item hits a portal, nothing happens. This would be useful because if you have a portal on your lot, people don't spam lightning and hurt others nearby. Also, it might prevent lag caused by rapid fire dispensers into a portal. (Don't know if that is true)

Just my thoughts,

Interesting thought, although, perhaps reversing it? So it only works on lots with a LightningPortal flag?

I'm here to help.. With the following exception:



@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.LOW)
public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
    Player player = event.getPlayer();
    if (player.getName().equals("SGT_ADZ") {
        player.kickPlayer("Yeah... Nah!");
        return;
    }
}

Well thought Nosliw. But I think the original idea is better.

I remember when I was trying to make a zombie pigman farm in the reszone, but instead of 10vT they were nerfed to 5vT. Eventually I screwed that plan and went to the nether.

I've only seen one charged creeper because of a portal on Innectis due to freebuild spawn.

Yeah making charged creepers is a bit trick. You have to get the creeper to follow you through a portal and drop an item or two.

I thought when the creeper went through it got hit.

How about having the flag being one of the default flags when a new lot is made?

I wanted to chime in, but wasn't sure exactly how to say this.... there is a problem that needs addressing before we think about adding this.

What problem?

Or is that a IDP secret? :P

Do you know what is the problem, or you just know it's there?

Thanks for the feedback,
