    Hey everyone, on the short few weeks I've played on this server, I've noticed an incredibly complex and functional economy. One thing that I feel is missing, however, is the ability to charge for Redstone circuit use. A plugin such as this would work in a manner very similar to our current shop plugin, with a sign designating owner and cost. As someone who enjoys working with Redstone, I can certainly say a plugin like this would open up opportunities for things like payed transportation, automatic casinos, resource/kit dispersion, etc. Anyone feel strongly that we should/shouldn't have this sort of plugin? Lastly, if I'm just being derpy and missing existing functionality, please, let me know.

    EDIT: Here's the link for the plugin. Sorry guys, I could have sworn I had posted it!

    Um... So you charge people for your redstone work? This confuses me...

    This sounds interesting, but I am not sure how or what it does. Please explain further. :)

    Essentially, these types of plugins would deduct an amount specified by a sign (similar to how our current chest shops work) when a player presses a button (or lever, pressure plate, etc.). The signal generated by this would travel through the Redstone circuit, and could be used to activate a mechanism to reward/perform an action for the player. As a simple example, one type of device could be a pay-to-enter door. A more complex device might be a gambling machine, perhaps a slots sort of game where there is a random chance of getting a reward (via dispenser or similar mechanism), and the player can pay a set amount to have a chance at winning.

    Posted it just know Dodito, sorry about forgetting it originally.

    Bad news Stoneagle, different types of triggers (ie pressure-plates) can be disabled by the server owner :p

    This is a really great idea! I understand it now :)

    This idea creates money-traps. Not really a fan of that. What happens when you accidents trigger something costing millions? You are bankrupt. What happens when you are pushed onto a pressure plate? You are bankrupt.

    Well John, there must be a sign next to all triggers, so for buttons/levers it'd be fairly obvious. As far as the possible money traps, as I mentioned before, Jigsaw can disable pressure plates as triggers, so I think that solves that problem.

    I think this would be cool as long as there was a price limit like 100k or something so that you cant make a button that deducts millions
  12. John_overki11 Retired

    Stone has said exactly what I fear. I know many warps with pressure plates at the warp block. They would be bankrupted without knowing anything. As for your suggestion Aeater333, 100k is still a lot to some people. If you were going to make a limit, I'd make it more 10k.

    Well, even if you need a sign people could hide those, then you could still walk on it. Also you could be pushed when you are afk at a warp area. 10k sounds good as a limit, or 20k
  14. Precursor13 New Member

    Like I said, Jigsaw should be able to disable pressure-plates as paid switches entirely.

    Edit: I realized this may have been unclear, slight grammer changes.
