[REQ] Lava flows as fast as water

Plugin request lava flow as fast as water.

 

But why would you need this? All it does really is make griefing faster.

 

Its for my adventure map! For bukkit! Seen here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic...map-designed-specifically-for-bukkit-smp-wip/

 

Don't believe setting the velocity of liquids is possible.

 

You could just set the nearby blocks to lava if they are air.

 

Isn't that just creating new source blocks then? He wants flow, not more source blocks.

 

Yea, my mistake.

 

Yeah I need flow. Changing the physics of lava to water would cause the lava to mess up... I'm not sure... I'm not a java coder so once again I don't know if its possible...

 

I'm pretty sure the physics of lava are hard coded into Minecraft. Even if you could, there might be server to client issues.

 

This is indeed possible, but you would need to write Notch's fluid system as a plugin, and disable the normal fluids

IMO this would be a giant pain in the ass to do having worked with fluids extensively (RealFluids - Inactive)

 

Wouldn't this require tearing apart Craftbukkit, as there is currently no API for it?

 

you can do it, just have to hook into every single event that updates a block, stop the current fluid flow events, and flow the fluids yourself by placing blocks with the data set (changes the water height), keeping in mind that fluids react differently in the nether as opposed to the normal world

onBlockFromTo() - always cancel to disable water flow
onBlockPlace() - make fluids nearby update / flow fluid if placed
onBlockBreak() - make nearby fluids update
--redstone events and others to watch, basically anything that updates local blocks

the API is there sp it can be done

 

Could you get working if not thats fine too.

 

i never said i was doing this as the first thing i said was that it would be a major pain in the ass and quite a bit of coding

 

So your still not up to the challenge?

 

i don't have time tbh, i work full time, go to school, run a server, and develop small things i need there

if you find a dev willing to work on it, i could update my FluidFlow plugin to accommodate block data (like fluid height) so they wouldn't have to do everything

 

So no one has tried this out yet? Okay gimme some time

Yeah this can't really be done using a listener. Or at least not easily. I tried just setting a blockTo() block (in BLOCK_FROMTO event) and setting that to lava, but that doesn't exactly work. It spreads a tiny bit faster though. Not very consistently though.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

the best thing to do would be setting up your own flow system and canceling the flow events, you also need to code your fluids to behave like the minecraft fluids

 

Heh. This is a large amount of work for you. If you really need it, I suggest learning Java and doing it yourself.

 

Fair enough. I understand people have lives too!

 

come on, you have a dev team, they an get it done......

yeah, not to mention I have been working on a rather large plugin for my server

 

We're busy.

 

i hate lava is is so slow that it doesn´t go away so a plugin would by nice

 

Doesnt each flow level of lava/water have its own id? if so, you could always create a sequence... (im probably wrong about that) lawl

 

Not as far as I'm aware. See every item code here.
