Advanced Explosion & tnt control

@toadmess @happo2000
I tagged you because you both provide the most advanced explosion plugins availeble, and one of you two might pick this up.

Discription
I request a plugin that:
a) Disables TNT terrain damage for TNT ignited by everyone
b) Enable terrain damage for TNT ignited by trusted users (ie having permission)
c) Redstone ignited TNT should do no terrain damage
d) All entity damage (players & mobs) should stay enabled
e) Option to disable Creeper terrain damage while keeping player/mob damage
d) (low priority) Multiworld support so my nether stays free-roam-disaster for everyone


My case:
Currently I use HigherExplosives to disable terrain damage while keeping entity damage intact (mobs & players). Good for traps and warfare.

I would like to be able to give trusted users the permission to have their TNT DO terrain damage for mining/terraforming.



BlastControl has the user-ignition permissions, if the permission thing could be hooked up to HigherExplosives advanced configuration... I would say we will have some gold in our hands .

Got buried within an hour.... bump

Hi OrtwinS,

Nice idea.

I'm currently writing support into HigherExplosives to allow different configs for different methods of triggering TNT (e.g. by fire, by redstone, by explosion, by player, by op). With luck, that will be ready in the next few days in version 1.7.

Following that, it's a natural step to then support different TNT configurations for players with certain permissions.

I've added it to my TODO list, and should get it out with version 1.8 of HigherExplosives. I'll drop a message in here when it's done.

 

YES, you just qualified for a donation. Glad you pick this up.
Also happy that you consider it possible, the only thing I know of java is what I picked up on this forum when devs are discussing how to do something... I wasn't sure if it was possible to do this.

 

Sorry it took so long, it turned out to be quite challenging! Here's the example configuration I promised, which should work in HigherExplosives version 2.0:

Code:

entities:
    TNTPrimed:
        tntPrimeByHand:
            preventTerrainDamage: true

            permissionsBasedConfigs:
            - withPermission: 'user.trusted'
              useConfig:
                  preventTerrainDamage: false

        tntPrimeByRedstone:
            preventTerrainDamage: true

        tntPrimeByFire:      # These explosions will be untouched unless configured here
        tntPrimeByExplosion: # These explosions will be untouched unless configured here

    Creeper:
        preventTerrainDamage: true

worlds:
    world_nether:
        entities:
            TNTPrimed:
                preventTerrainDamage: false # Needs at least one property otherwise will use the default world configuration above
            Creeper:
                preventTerrainDamage: false # Needs at least one property otherwise will use the default world configuration above

version: '2.0'
debugConfig: true

I think that covers a) through f), where the trusted user's permission is "user.trusted"

 

_O_
The TNT prime by fire & explosion... will damage the terrain with this cofig right? I'll add 'preventterraindamage: true' to be sure anyway.

 

That's right. You could also just specify it once at the top TNT level, then it will be inherited by all of the nested configurations (unless explicitly set to false in one of them).
