    Plugin category: Fun

    Suggested name: LaserGuns

    What I want: I would like a plugin which that if you right click a dead shrub (gained by a command) it shoots an ender crystal laser (like the ones that heal the enderdragon) and searches for the closest entity/player and shoot it. (And deal damage of course (2 hearts exactly (not in halves).).)

    Since the laser's aren't affected by gravity, make a range for the gun that it can only shoot entities/players in a 20 block radius if you can.

    Please don't hate on this if this isn't possible, I'm new to bukkit and don't even code. It's just that this MIGHT, just MIGHT, be possible. And if it is, then yay. Also, you can make this your own or not. Doesn't really matter to me.

    Ideas for commands: /laser get (gets you a dead shrub) /laser reload (reloads plugin)

    Ideas for permissions: laser.use (allows players to use the dead shrub at all)

    When I'd like it by: 2013-2014 (I'm not expecting this to be made by like, July 8th. It's probably gonna be hard to code.)

    Vania Don't think that this is impossible, but it would be hard to make, and it is an really nice idea this, haven't seen one like this before

    necrodoom How about packages? Got to say with that that I never used them and don't know what is possible, but I have seen weird things with them

    i think its completely client sided, no packets or anything, as the beam is not a projectile and is pretty much like the beacon beam.

    Allowing for you to shoot the laser freely would probably be easier to code, but it would be harder to do the range problem or so I think.

    I think it possible, but you would need to factor in where it is coming from, who it is aiming at and what happens if more than 1 person is in the same radius, who would it shoot?

    I actually think this is possible.

    ...That sounds complicated. Shooting the laser freely would need to factor who is shooting it and which block/tile should it shoot.
