Inactive [MECH] LightningRod v1.2 - anything iron or gold is dangerous [1.2.5R2-1.2.5-R4]

LightningRod

Rain isn't just a pretty sound or a dreary sky anymore. If you hear the rumblings of thunder on the horizon, watch out! Make sure not to hold that iron bucket, or tromp around in those gold boots... or you'll get zapped. Any iron or gold items exposed to the sky are vulnerable to the elements. Whether it's in your hand, or worn on your body, built onto your house, or even those poor minecarts and rails... BOOM!

Now in Release status, tested on CB 1.2.5-R2, on the dev.bukkit.org site.

Approved

 

maybe you add configurable list of blocks?

 

EliteMouse, have considered it, and the code is set up so it's easy for me to add that when I get some time. Right now, it's ALL blocks made of gold or iron that is both grounded and exposed to sky-- including the extension half of a piston if the piston is activated. Likewise with things that a player holds in hand, or wears. Chainmail, iron, gold armor; compasses, buckets, etc.

 

It's pretty fun, but not very good for standard use. I had some fun with it, I admit.

 

Maintenance release. No functionality changes, just tested on the 1.0.1-R2 release of CraftBukkit.

 

Very cool! I am using this!

Perhaps add a height variable as well? Higher metal blocks take priority over lower metal blocks.

how exactly does the percentage work? Is that 75% for all the blocks in the server? Only what is loaded?

 

Its you people that make minecraft awesome.

 

Ugh. I've been waiting for something like this. Thanks!

 

Would it be possible to allow damage done to players and mobs but not make a fire per say?

 

what if you are flying and your wearin and/or holding iron/gold will it hit you?

 

Can I set the "attraction" to a value above 200 to have more lightning?

 

pls update

 

won't load....

if you have the time id "Love" to see this plugin updated.

 

planning to update in time for 1.3 release

I have an update of the plugin for 1.2.5, and have worked out a number of API changes to bring it in line with the latest out there. If someone could give it a whirl, I'd appreciate it. I haven't checked the pre-release 1.3 API changes yet, but wanted to get close.
