Hello, I know this is possible but I'm not finding a plugin that can do this. I need a plugin that can add an enchantment to an item (ex: sword) and it won't say it in the lore so it becomes invisible. Also I need a plugin that can make it so an item does custom damage. For example a sword does 20 damage (10 hearts) at once, etc. Thank you No one that knows this? EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
The only way I can see this being possible is having a custom name for the item. For example, if you had a diamond sword that you wanted to deal 10 damage, you would need to name the diamond sword to something else such as "Diamond Sword of the Dragon!" This would be required, because a plugin like this would look for the item name and change the damage event whenever an item with that name is being used. This also opens up gateways for players to create the weapon themselves through an anvil, and that is why lore is so important. Players can not create lore with anvils, but they can change the name to match the plugin's keywords. (I'm not sure if the color of the name effects a plugin's search or not.) It would be quite hard to limit people from creating the items they are not supposed to have without some type of keyword lore. But this is what I could see: Permission nodes that effect the damage output of a weapon. For example, damage.<itemname>.<damageamount> would specify the amount of damage that item does, and it keeps players that aren't supposed to have that damage output from having it because they won't have the permission node. Also, if you want to configure the damage output of a diamond sword on your server, I know there has to be a plugin out there for it, but I'm not sure if you could change the damage based on your specifications with the current plugins available.
timtower - yeah, could probably do some of it with OtherDrops. And keeping it invisible (not sure why you'd want to...) PHP: ANY_MOB: ##### FIRE_ASPECT - tool: DIAMONDSWORD~&0&rDiamond Sword damage: FIRE ##### Extra 20 damage - tool: DIAMONDSWORD~&3&rDiamond Sword damage: 20 ##### DAMAGE_ARTHROPODS SPIDER: - tool: DIAMONDSWORD~&1&rDiamond Sword damage: 5 # add an additional 5 damage CAVE_SPIDER: - tool: DIAMONDSWORD~&1&rDiamond Sword damage: 5 # add an additional 5 damage ##### DAMAGE_UNDEAD CREATURE_UNDEAD: - tool: DIAMONDSWORD~&2&rDiamond Sword damage: 5 # add an additional 5 damage As slimedog007 noted - a problem with displaynames is that items can be renamed at an anvil. They cannot be given color codes however, so the color code (eg. &1&r) at the start of each of those names is like a "key". &r resets the color so you can have as many numbers before it as you want (eg. &1&6&4&rDiamond Sword) and it'll still appear as a normal diamond sword.
It would be possible to add invisible enchantments without doing any sort of custom naming/loring, but it'd be reaaally tough and probably server intensive. You'd have to track a weapon through every inventory change, every drop, every location change, and then if it ends up in someone's hand when they hit something it does the effect. One small bug and it loses its "enchantment". The other thing you could do is assign "enchantments" to damage value ranges and then make the items repair themselves back to the assigned damage value every time it an event happens that would do damage to the sword. Unfortunately, this would mean that the damage value can't be used for anything else, including damage, unless you get veeeerry clever with the code and break the item when it reaches the bottom of the range. Of course, the enchantment wouldn't be truly invisible, you could always look up what each damage value range means, but it's at least interesting. I even wonder if you could do it so that, say, every even damage value does one effect and every odd damage value does another one, and then have all actions have a half chance of not doing any damage to the and a half chance of doing two damage to it. Of course, even this wouldn't be invisible if the player checked the damage remaining on their sword with F3+h. As a note, no way am I touching this in terms of actual code. Waaay beyond me. @_@
Hedgehogs4Me - why bother with all that You can rename items to "&6&4&6&8&rDiamond Sword" with as many numbers as you want in front of the &r and it still looks like a diamond sword - voila, invisible You could then use that invisible name to apply effects at the appropriate places rather than trying to track the specific weapon or using durability values.
Holy crap, I looked at your previous post and found what you just said underneath your OtherDrops configging - I saw that part and assumed the entire thing would be about OtherDrops. It turns out, you made a fool out of me. I have a really tight deadline to meet (my posts on here are my breaks! I'm very bad at relaxing), but I could probably get on this by late June or early July if no one's done it already.
Hedgehogs4Me - no worries, the previous bit was tucked away under my example so I can see why it'd be missed Good luck with your deadlines
Isn't there metadata for ItemStacks? Just to get the italics gone Edit: Or could you remove the italics of an item by applying §r to it?
whitehooder - what italics? My items (enchanted or not) don't seem to have italics, but yes - §r should reset (remove) the italics as well as the color.
whitehooder - ah, didn't noticed that. Most of the time I use renamed items is through OtherDrops in which case the name comes out without italics, unless you specifically add the italics color-code.
What about .setData()? 1 would be sharpness, 2 would be ...(using minecraft enchantment ids) and &13&r at the beginning with a Data of 1 would be sharpness 13?
Some items (if wanting to enchant saplings and etc xD) use the data for other purposes. Does anyone know if ItemStacks have MetaData?
