Solved Permissions

This might sound kind of dumb, but I am still somewhat new to plugin development. I am wondering how I can create a permission node that will give access to all permissions in the plugin. I know that you can check for a permission node in the plugin code using

Code:

if (!sender.hasPermission("troll.zap")) {
                sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.WHITE + "Unknown command. Type /help for help.");
                return true;
            }

but what if I want to create the permission node troll.* and give that node access to all commands in the plugin. How would I do this?

 

@henderry2019 In your plugin.yml you would list all the permission nodes. You would then add the permission check code in front of any "feature" or command that you would like that permission node to work for.

Check out the example from bukkit.

I have that. I want to create 1 permission node for all of the commands as well as the individual nodes.

Code:

permissions:
     troll.zap:
        description: /zap
        default: op   

Above is in my plugin.yml file.
EDIT: Wait, do you mean add a 2nd check for the permission troll.* in front of each command?

 

Code:

if (!sender.hasPermission("troll.zap"&&sender.hasPermission("troll.*")) {

The '*' in the permission node means nothing by itself. It is the same as any other character. What you need to do is tread Troll.* as though it was it's own permission (like troll.zap)

 

Ok, but in that code that you just gave me, does that not essentials say that you have to have both the troll.zap node AND the troll.* node? Or does it treat && as or?

 

@henderry2019 if you read the link I sent it tells u about permissions and using children to make parent permissions.

 

Thank you, it works!
