About Class Chests
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
If some of your favorite items aren't supported by MobArena's internal
|
|
[[item parser\|Item and Reward Syntax]], or if you just want to be able
|
|
to configure your class items from in-game, the **class chests** may be
|
|
what you're looking for!
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
**Note: The Class Chests will only work for arenas with
|
|
``use-class-chests: true``, and the classes *MUST* exist in the
|
|
config-file for MobArena to recognize them, however the items and armor
|
|
lists can be empty.** \* \* \*
|
|
|
|
The idea behind the class chests is to simply place some **chests below
|
|
the corresponding class signs** in the lobby, and fill them with
|
|
whatever items you want the given class to have. When the players
|
|
activate the class signs, the **contents of the chests are copied to the
|
|
player inventory**. This suggests a type of "control room" setup, where
|
|
an admin-only access room below the lobby contains the chests, allowing
|
|
admins to warp down there and change the contents of the chests.

|
|
|
For easier access and modification of the class chests, omitting the
|
|
control room from the arena or lobby region may prove useful. Otherwise,
|
|
arenas may have to be temporarily disabled or put into edit mode to
|
|
allow warping to and changing the contents of the chests.
|
|
|
|
The class chests can be located **up to 6 blocks below the sign** itself
|
|
or below the block right behind the sign (for wall signs, this would be
|
|
the block the sign is attached to). The chest may also be in the block
|
|
directly behind the sign itself - this is safe, because MobArena
|
|
prevents players in the lobby from opening inventories, so if your lobby
|
|
is in a tight spot, this might be the better option.
|
|
|
|
**Multiple sign rows:** It is possible to have two rows of class signs
|
|
in the lobby and still use this feature. Simply place the class chest
|
|
for the sign of the bottom row exactly at the 6-block limit, and the
|
|
class chest for the sign of the top row one block up and behind the
|
|
other chest (in a stair-like fashion). The blocks are searched in a
|
|
vertical/pillar-like fashion, which is the reason this works.

To get **auto-equipped armor** from the class chests, place the armor
|
|
pieces in the **last four slots of the third row** in the chest.
|
|
MobArena will check these four slots, and if any of them are armor
|
|
pieces, they will be equipped. Note that the item placed in the very
|
|
last slot (bottom right), will always be equipped as a helmet (this
|
|
allows wool blocks, pumpkins, etc. to be used as helmets). The order of
|
|
the other three slots doesn't matter.
|
|
|
|
The **fifth last slot**, right next to the armor slots, will be equipped
|
|
as an **off-hand** item.

The class chests are the best way to add items that are not currently
|
|
supported by the MobArena [[item parser\|Item Syntax]]. This is because
|
|
the class chests **simply copy the contents of the chests** to the
|
|
player inventories, thus making any items supported by Bukkit supported
|
|
by MobArena.

Linked Class Chests
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
If per-arena class chest setups is too troublesome (e.g. if you have
|
|
many arenas), if you don't need per-arena setups, or if you simply want
|
|
a single, global class chest for each class, *linked class chests* are
|
|
what you're looking for.
|
|
|
|
When you link a chest to a class, MobArena will always copy the contents
|
|
of that chest to the player's inventory, when they pick the given class,
|
|
regardless of any local class chests (note that the arena must still
|
|
have ``use-class-chests: true``).
|
|
|
|
To link a chest to a class, simply look at the chest and type
|
|
``/ma classchest <class>``, and you're done! The linked class chests may
|
|
exist in any world, but remember that there can only be one class chest
|
|
per class, and that local class chests will be ignored!
|
|
|
|
To unlink a class chest, you will have to open the config-file and
|
|
remove the ``classchest`` node from the given class.
