bHelp the only help plugin you can ask questions About: This plugin idea has been around for a while, but I haven't seen anyone implement it. Basically all I've done is made a super easy to use config file - and a super easy to use /help instruction. It requires a bit of setting up on the admins part - but after that is done, it looks after itself. Example Config: Code: entries: web: question: [how, do, i, shot, shoot, web] answer: [google.com, visit there and all your questions will be answered] sentence: how do I shot web? admin: question: [how, do, i, get, be, opped, admin, rights] answer: [pay me $50!] sentence: how do I get admin rights? How to ask it a question: Type /help how do I get op? (or whatever question you want to ask). It returns the most related answer - or if there are several, gives you a choice. For best results, setup a word list on the "question" part. Also the "sentence" part should be a legible sentence that uses the words in the list, so that people can type that sentence exactly and get the answer.

Personally, I think that it would be too hard to configure it to properly answer most questions, and also that anyone who knows to use the /help command would probably already have these sorts of questions answered. But that's just me.
Alright - no worries. I'm having a whole set of example config options drawn up anyway for various plugins - so we'll see how it turns out.
I'm using Help 3, can there be another command besides /help to use this? Such as /helpask or /ha, /helpquestion, /hq?
do you think you could possibly make this a different command, because i'm using essentials, and i really like both of these plugins, yours and essentials, but this plugin's /help is conflicting with essentials /help, and everyone on my server has used essentials /help, so it would be nice to make maybe a config to be able to change the command for it, or just change it all together.
Try do this Open the essentials.jar with winrar and then open the plugin.yml file with somthing like notepad++. Comment out the part to do with help. Save the file and when asked to update the archive choose yes. That will disable the /help in essentials so it wont conflict.
