    Zeus - Summon the power of the gods
    Version 0.8

    Zeus is a fairly simple plugin that harnesses the power of the gods to cause lightning strikes in whatever location you choose (in other words, look at blocks, right click with the tool defined in the config file, causes lightning. Left click, cause lightning + explosions)

    Zeus is different from other plugins that have lightning item capabilities because Zeus has the option to make lightning cause tnt-like explosions.

    Features:
    • Right click to cause lightning strikes
    • Left click to cause lightning strikes + explosion
    • Fully configurable! Choose what item you use to summon the power of the gods and how large the explosion radius is!
    • Permissions support! Configure if you want users to only be able to use the right click and/or left click features!
    • Multi Strike and Fire Strike
    • Cool down support
    • You no longer need permissions, in the config file you can now chose OP only or everyone
    Download:

    Click here to download!

    Permissions Nodes:
    Code:
    to3.zeus.strike
    (only lightning)
    
    to3.zeus.multiStrike
    (multipule strikes at once)
    
    to3.zeus.strikeandexplode
    (lightning + explosions)
    
    to3.zeus.thunderStrike
    (permission to use thunder strike)
    Commands:
    Code:
    /ms <number of strikes>
    set the number of strikes at once
    
    /ms again to disable
    
    /ts <radius>
    set the radius of the thunder strike
    
    /ts again to disable
    
    Warning: The explosion feature has not been tested with plugins that block explosions like WorldGuard, use at your own risk!

    Changelog:
    Version 0.8
    • fix for cool down bug, add feature "thunder strike"

    I know this sounds like a newb question, but, how exactly do you get this to work? Where do I set it to use an item to zap lightning down? I've looked in the download but I don't see anyplace to set it. I did eprmissions right, because it lets me turn /ms on and off, but nothing else so far.

    it should auto generate the config file after you run the server.

    I'm not sure if you want to do this, but a lot of plugins have a configurable cost in items (like casting lightning costs 3 gold or whatever) and that is another feature that could be used for giving this to players.

    downloaded it, i can set multi-strike but i don't know how to set the item to use it with, also i guess this is why when i try to use it without a set item it doesn't do anything?

    Go into the Zeus config file. It should look like this:

    Code:
    Zeus:
        fireStrike: false
        explradius: 4
        tool: 283
        multihit: 1
    

    Where it says tool is the item id. Here is a list of item id's:
    http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Data_values

    So if you wanted to make it use a diamond shovel you would change 283 to 277 (the shovel ID according to the wiki)

    With 0.6 the plugin will stop working after a while (for specific players, not everyone) with no console errors. I would guess this is an problem with the cooldown feature.

    hmmm i have tried it and it doesn't seem to work :(
    i was wondering if you could post a youtube video on how to set it up or something :D

    This plugin easily falls into the the easiest tier of plugins to set up.

    Make sure: You did not screw up the YAML if you editted the config, you have the permissions (if you use permissions or GM), and you don't have any obvious conflicts (for this probably only something else bound to right click with a gold sword).

    is there a way to make the lightning attached to more than one item? and is there also a way to make the lightning do its damage depending on the items u r using and also the CD depend on what items is used? i know im asking for a lot but i would really love if i could be able to make a lightning mage with this plugin :D

    That would be really badass, and perfect for doing VIP when using this in pvp

    I use it for a mage class, but due to the lack of a good group based inventory/loadout system, we are sort of stalled in the development. Keep up the good work!

    Holy crap, I'm going to use the hell out of this! I run a private server, but I could pm you the address if you'd like to stop by. I was running MotherNature, but I don't care for the way it completely takes over rain behavior from the natural settings. All I really want is the manual lightning, and the ability to turn on explosions is something I've wanted for a while!

    Would it be possible to adjust the dropped block yield of the explosion? I use Higher Explosives to turn up explosions and turn off the ability of explosions to drop blocks, then make big blasted out tunnels using EggRenades. With this mod I could replace both with just this plugin. Big blasty underground tunneling lightning strikes! Now that's what I call godlike power!

    Based on SillyWalker's post below I won't have to worry about this! I wonder when I'm gonna get to play next :(

    So when I use the explosive lightning (I feel like Thor, but that's beside the point), no blocks drop like they normally do for a TNT explosion. Any way to fix that?
    Pickaxes? What are pickaxes? I use LIGHTNING!!!

    I have one request: add an upper limit in the config file for how high /ms can be. Someone here tried /ms 1000000000 and managed to crash the server and our clients. Setting to -1 could disable the limit. I'd love this feature :D

    NVM:
    Problem with the cooldown, I'd set it to "true" and obviously it hadn't saved or possibly just reset (my explosive radius went back to default too, I set it to 1. I just use it for destroying LWC chests of players who have left :p)

    I'm getting this too. Plugin list (Its really long, sorry.. :p) - If someone tells me how to do that spoiler thing i'll edit this post coz its now very long.. XD
