Plugin category: Fun & Games Suggested name: MegaMaze Plugin dependencies: WorldEdit, Vault Soft dependencies: Multiverse Portals/MulitWorld (or other teleportation plugins if Mazes want to be cross-world capable) When I would like it completed by: March/April 2015 Aim of the Game The goal of the game is to escape the maze as a team. Each of the four members start in their own miniature maze where they must take on monsters and try to collect as many items from chests and monster drops without getting killed. Once each member reaches the end of their maze they reunite as a team in a safe-room that has a few more chests filled with items, a crafting bench, a furnace and other useful items. From this safe-room they must take on an even bigger maze as a team getting past redstone contraptions to move through the maze and tougher mobs. Now depending on what items each player managed to collect in their individual mazes will determine what weapons, armour and other useful items they'll have available in the bigger maze. If they reach the end in the final safe-room they will rewarded with in-game money using Vault to handle your chosen economy plugin. If anyone dies or leaves along the way the remaining players will only be able to get as far as the team safe-room. Setting Up the game Each player will be represented by colour throughout the whole game, red, green, blue and yellow. This will include text chat colour and messages that appear to the other players e.g. “Player 1 has died” and command messages when setting up the game e.g. “Section player 3 has been set”. Defining Sections of the Maze There will be 7 main sections to the maze as follows:- Player 1 mini-maze Player 2 mini-maze Player 3 mini-maze Player 4 mini-maze Team maze Team safe-room End/completion safe-room These sections will be stored as regions with names as listed above and X, Y, Z coordinates in a Sections.yml file. This is where WorldEdit comes in as it will make it possible to select the regions with the wand tool. If it makes it easier to not use WorldEdit altogether the opposite corner points of the region could be defined by the players position when using a command. Additionally each of these sections will be protected from mob damage and player damage so that the maze and chests can't be damaged. If that's not possible within the plugin alone WorldGuard can be added to the plugin dependency if need be. Player Spawn Points When a player joins the game they will be spawned to a miniature maze. So that leaderboard times can be calculated and to make sure everyone starts together, they will spawned to one of the spawn points set in the Playerspawns.yml file. Similar to the sections.yml file these will be coordinate based and which have these spawn points names:- Player Spawn 1 Player Spawn 2 Player Spawn 3 Player Spawn 4 These spawn points can be set whilst standing on the spot and using a command. Mob Spawning Within those main sections I want to be able to set smaller regions where mobs will spawn. When a player crosses the boundary of that region this is when the mob will spawn, that could be ahead of the player(s) or from behind depending on the layout of the maze and where the mob spawn points are set. Instead of using WorldEdit here these mob spawn points could be easily set with a command in relation to the block the player setting up the game is standing on. These mob spawn points will be stored in the Mobspawns.yml file. Automatic Chest Refills After Each Game As mentioned in the aim of the game there will be items scattered all over the individual player maze chests which they must collect if they want to build items in the team safe-room. As there will a furnace in the team safe-room it would make sense to have the fuel items and ingots, ores etc. to be spread across the players mini-mazes so each player is dependent on one another. Forcing the player to collect the raw items will get them to actually make what they think is essential for them and their team, rather than just giving them pre-made weapons and armour etc. which they can just equip and job done, which is boring. Leaderboard Like a majority of games out there lots of them use sign leaderboards to display their top players. It would be a real bonus if there was a leaderboard that shows the teams with the fastest times. Times could be calculated from the countdown and the beginning of the game right up to the end/completion safe-room. Other information that could be included on the signs could be mob kills, kits to players made by mobs, individual fastest player from the team (the fastest player from the team who made it out the quickest in their solo miniature maze). This signboard could be defined using WorldEdit by selecting a wall with signs on and then setup using a command. Starting the Game To keep it simple I think signs and commands should be used, and I will be getting into detail about commands, messages and permissions below. Lots of games have clickable signs that display the plugin name on the top line, a line to say game in progress and another line to say how many players are currently in the game. Once the player has clicked the sign or entered the command to join all players will be teleported to a spawn point in their miniature maze and won't be able to move till 4 people have joined and a 10 second countdown timer shown in the text chat box has finished. Then the game begins. Once a game has started no other teams may join. However, I would like to allow this plugin to run multiple mazes simultaneously which can be selected using a command. This makes sure that when setting everything up the commands work on the correctly selected maze. Die/Leaving the Game If anyone is unfortunate to die or get disconnected from the game it will be impossible for the team to continue as this is a 4 player game. The disconnected/dead player will be spawned back to where they started their game initially, whether that was from a sign or the location where they typed the command. With the remaining players alive, I want to create a message to appear when they enter the team safe-room section saying that “A player has left the game and this is as far as you can go. For your efforts you will receive a smaller portion of money of ££££” And then another message saying “You will teleported out of the game in 10, 9, 8… etc.” and then they get teleported back to where they started their game initially, whether that was from a sign or the location where they typed the command to join the game. Building the Mazes What's so versatile about this game is that the mazes can be connected however you want. You could attach them together with a wall between them, you could build bridges, build stairs, make teleport portals using something like the Multiverse Portals plugin, using commandblocks, warps and the list goes on. So long as you can clearly define each section of the maze for the sections.yml file, there's room to allow mobs to spawn and space to place chests then you should be fine. As also mentioned briefly above I would like to make this plugin to allow multiple mazes so that it’s not restricted to 4 people at a time out of the whole server. Commands, Messages & Permissions Please excuse any changes to this section of the plugin request as this is the section I’ve had to do the most thinking on.
