Plugin category: Server Administration Suggested name: Helpers Jobs... idk not good with names What I want: A plugin that has a ticket-like system of assigning jobs for players. The player can run a command like: /job jobname. That will teleport them to a specific place/give them a description of the job. Such as, add detail here, build something here, etc... Admins can do: /job create jobname jobdescription and it will create a job at that spot. The admin can also set money (not nessisary) and then do like /job pay jobname Ideas for commands: /job, /job create jobname, /job jobname Ideas for permissions: job.joinjob, job.createjob When I'd like it by: Anytime would be ok. Sooner the better I guess though Sorry if this exists, I googled it and there were only jobs players could do like mining, logging, fishing, etc. If this exists please tell me Thanks
Search for "ticketing system bukkit" and you should see better results. While these plugins are usually intended to be used by server staff members to easily locate and address problems such as griefed builds, any one of them could be used equally well to achieve what you're looking for. Here's one that looks to have been updated pretty recently. There's tons of others once you know how to look.
I'm getting a little bit confused as to why some people insist that VariableTriggers is a solution to every problem. If there's already a plugin that does exactly what you need, and it doesn't have any downsides such as being too bloated for the problem at hand, then why would you want to do scripting work of your own - no matter how easy the scripting language is to learn?
Because VariableTriggers is a solution to many problems. There are many different ways you can accomplish the same thing. If the OP already has VT installed, why would he install yet another plugin when he could create a quick script? If not, then he can use your solution. WarmakerT was giving an alternative solution.
That's fair, but I think that if the OP had VariableTriggers already installed then he would not be requesting a separate plugin here, and there's not much good in telling someone that they should install VT when the problem is large enough that it's better to have a specialized, polished tool to handle it. People have been advocating VariableTriggers rather aggressively for a while now. The fact of the matter is, most people who come to the requests forum don't need everything it offers, any more than someone who wants a simple ban management system needs Essentials. Edit WarmakerT :: If it makes you a lazy a** to install specialized plugins instead of coding your own scripts for everything, then a lot of people shouldn't have servers, myself included
VariableTriggers can't be compared to Essentials; its more like CommandsEx, where you can choose what features you want (write what scripts you want). I don't really see how VariableTriggers is bloated, but I haven't used it before.
Not saying it's bloated - just that it's a powerful tool that's more suited to a bunch of tiny little jobs (things that only one person ever really needs, like "light a monster on fire when I hit it with a gold sword") than to large, focused problems that have been addressed by specific plugins (things that a lot of different servers would have a use for, like "a way for players to save locations with messages so that server staff can easily teleport there and address the situation").
I didn't say that VT would work better than a plugin in this situation. I just said that it is an alternative option. Personally, in this situation, I would use an existing plugin/make my own (since I can).
What a pitiful life. I have a server, but it's really empty since I haven't updated the main to 1.3 (building Spawn still, this stupid website "Bukkit" has distracted me for weeks...)
WarmakerT np98765 You guys are funny. makskay If there is a plugin already out there that does exactly what you want it to do then by all means that should be the plugin to use. Don't re-invent the wheel. But if there is not one or there is one but it does not do everything you need, then it may be something that can be created with VariableTriggers or use VT in conjunction with an existing plugin to get what it is desired. As @WarmakerT pointed out, if you want to add something or change something then its an easyer job to change or add a few lines of script and be done than to have to get the Dev to change or add code and recompile and redistribute. As far as being bloated, VT is writen with performance in mind. Just because the jar file is larger than some plugins does not mean the plugin will slow you don. The scripts dont run unless triggerd and when they do run they utalize separete threads for most of the work.
