(PEX) Rank Ladder Priority?

    In my server, I have three different rank ladders: users, donors, and staff. Since it's possible to be in all three rank ladders, how can I make it so that the server registers the ladders in a specific order?

    For an example, I want any player that is both a donator and a user to have their donator prefix show up, regardless of any change in rank. Likewise, if you typed /list it would show that player under donor (essentials). If a player was staff, donator, and user, then staff would appear first. If the player lost staff, then donator would immediately surface over user.

    Thanks.

    I don't really know how bumping works but I really need this resolved...

    Yoshislayer I don't really know if this will work or not, but I have a theory you could test. Sample configuration:
    Code:
    groups:
      user:
        default: true
        prefix: ''
        permissions: []
        options:
          rank: '500'
          rank-ladder: users
      user2:
        prefix: ''
        permissions: []
        inheritance:
        - user
        options:
          rank: '400'
          rank-ladder: users
      user3:
        prefix: ''
        permissions: []
        inheritance:
        - user2
        options:
          rank: '300'
          rank-ladder: users
      donator:
        prefix: ''
        permissions: []
        options:
          rank: '50'
          rank-ladder: donator
      donator2:
        prefix: ''
        permissions: []
        inheritance:
        - donator
        options:
          rank: '40'
          rank-ladder: donator
      donator3:
        prefix: ''
        permissions: []
        inheritance:
        - donator2
        options:
          rank: '30'
          rank-ladder: donator
      staff:
        prefix: ''
        permissions: []
        options:
          rank: '5'
          rank-ladder: staff
      staff2:
        prefix: ''
        permissions: []
        inheritance:
        - staff
        options:
          rank: '4'
          rank-ladder: staff
      staff3:
        prefix: ''
        permissions: []
        inheritance:
        - staff2
        options:
          rank: '3'
          rank-ladder: staff
    
    Hypothetically, Pex will give precedence to whichever rank has the highest (in importance, not number) rank value. So a person who is in these groups - user3, donator, and staff - should have their staff prefix trump the others because the rank value for staff is higher (5) than the other rank values (300 and 50 respectively).

    Disclaimer: Like I said, I'm not 100% positive it will work this way. I haven't personally used a rank ladder system like this on my own server, so this is all just theory. But if this was my server and I needed a setup like you're describing, this is what I would try first.

    I'll be sure to test this later today. Thanks a lot :D (assuming it works haha)

    I would like to know how to do what your asking as well as maybe add multi prefixes like [donor][mod][rank] username: chat

    Well at least for my case, it would make their usernames too long.

    I've read and re-read through all of PEX's help files, but have yet to come to a conclusion on how (or if it's even possible) for a user to hold multiple ranks and prefixes at once. the link shows mayors for both towns, but what if a user was a mayor in one town, and the librarian in the other? how would you go about '[rank-laddder:1 rank] [rank-ladder:2 rank] [ign]: chat' ?

    sorry if necromancing, just havent found anywhere else that is even remotely similar to my question... :/

    I'm trying to figure out how to make ranks take priority over other ranks, but I think I can resolve part of the question. This is a simplified example of how I do hybrid ranks. It can get a bit long (it actually will make your perms multitudes longer as you add more variables), but it works.

    Code:
    groups:
      beginner:
        options:
          default: true
          rank: '1'
          prefix: '[Beginner]'
        permissions:
        #perms placeholder
      donator:
        options:
          default: false
          rank: '1'
          prefix: '[D]'
          rank-ladder: donator
        permissions:
        #perms placeholder
      staff:
        options:
          default: false
          rank: '1'
          prefix: '[Staff]'
          rank-ladder: staff
        permissions:
          #perms placeholder
      donatorstaffdefault:
        options:
          default: false
          rank: '1'
          prefix: '[D][Staff][Beginner]'
          rank-ladder: donatorstaffdefault
        permissions:
        #leave empty
        inheritance:
        - staff
        - beginner
        - donator
    The one downside (besides the length) of doing it this way, is non-admins (mods) will need specific perms so they can rank outside of the default ladder. Serious pain in the butt. I just use '/pex user [username] group set [group]' for all my non-default ranking.

    I don't think I'll find the answer to my issue here, but I hope I helped someone out x)

    Edit: Teach me how to subject

    I have server with rank ladders set up and I have the same problem. Donators & Staff prefixes won't show up as they are also in a the auto rank ladder. They prefix that shows up is the rank in auto rank. Id like to reverse this also

    Free bump for for original question.


    Yoshislayer
    I figured it out. I did a few things. I am using essentials for chat formatting codes and prefixes so I had to move my donator and staff group above my auto rank group.

    I then had to go into lex and look under each user where this was not function.

    say

    Code:
    users:
      UUid Removed:
        options:
          name: Winterfellhard
          suffix: '~'
        permissions:
        - essentials.kick
        - essentials.invsee
        - permissions.*
        worlds:
          world:
            group: []
            options: {}
        group:
        - Trusted
        - Owner
    And switch the last part. to

    Code:
        group:
        - Owner
        - Trusted
    Now my Owner group will read before the trusted group thus my chat shows my owner prefixes/suffix's

    Hope this helps. Remember PEX reads from top to bottom so if you negate something before a permissions.* for example the negative takes effect. If you have a negative below a permissions.* it will do nothing. Thats the only reason i figured it out. Thanks!
