[Req] Custom portals

Discussion in 'Archived: Plugin Requests' started by VehicleDestroyer, Mar 25, 2013.

  1. Before you say 'Multivurse Portals does that' it doesn't. MV requires an admin to use a wand to set the destination of a portal. This is specifically for survival, so that players can make portals to go to other worlds.

    I would love to see a new plugin like pinapp. Where I can define a block type and world destination. Example I have a skylands world. Players can make a Glow stone portal to get there.

    • Set a block ID for custom portal
    • Maybe custom shapes, even if they're predefined.
    • Custom 'portal material' Example, portalblock, water, lava ect
    • Set destination to a world and/or coordinates
    • Option to generate identical portal in the destination word (just like vanilla does for the nether) and or at defined coordinates if one doesn't exist.
    • Handle inbound and out bound travel.
      Example Glowstone portal: [World to Skylands], [Skylands to World]
    • Custom world scaling.
    • When generating a portal at destination look for best placement.
      Example if destination is underground place it on top or to the side which ever is closer. If destination is over the void place it on nearest land, if land is too far away make a platform under the portal.
    • Config file
    • Permission nods
    Let me know what you think, if you have an questions or suggestions please leave a post.

    faith is right somthing like this will take alot of effort
     
  4. I know. I think this is something a lot of people want but nothing really meets that need. If anything I at least want plugin devs to know there is demand for this still. Maybe someone will take it on.

  6. Not at all what I'm looking for. This too requires an admin or such to configure each gate and each destination. I would like it if survival players could make portals on their own.

  8. This is very good thank you so much. I still wish I could make the entire portal a custom block but setting the corners works fine. And the added feature of smarter placement and linking is great.

    Edit: I'm having some trouble with its config.

    I want my World to got the the Nether using a normal portal, AND to sklands using glowstone corner blocks. Nether and skylands both return to World using normal portals.

    You should be able to set the world it goes to, and the world it returns back to in the config.
    The nether should work like normal, with normal portals
    Then set glowstone as the corners for Skylands..and it should take you to skylands.

    Now the RETURN portals for each will look normal, since they dont need tag blocks to know where to go, they are already linked.

    So it should be:
    In main world, normal portal = nether, the portal it made in nether = return to world
    In main world, glow portal = skylands, the portal it made in skylands = return to world
