Hey developers. I have an idea, why not make it so that mob spawners register to the person who placed them.

ie saving their name and the spawner location on BlockPlaceEvent with
Location loc = event.getBlock().getLocation();
Player player = event.getPlayer();
String name = player.getName();
spawners.put(name, loc);

then when they break it check if their the owner
Location loc = event.getBlock().getLocation();
Player player = event.getPlayer();
String name = player.getName();
if(spawners.contains(name, loc);
{
loc.dropNaturally(new Itemstack(Material.MOBSPAWNER, 1);
spawners.remove(name, null);
}
else
{
event.setCancelled();
player.sendMessage("You didn't place this mobspawner.");

This will make it so that people don't lose their mob spawners, they can't be griefed, and they're able to move it without having to bother the moderators.

Plugins=lag

The end.

 

so, noobcrew, can you please install this? I am getting tired of msging a mod everytime, and I know there are a lot of people out there that feel the same...

 

Thanks Noobcrew

 

Code incoming, prepare your anuses for my next reply.

 

Ok what is it ?

 

LOL
Ready

 

Code:

public class test implements Listener{
    @EventHandler
    public void onBlockPlace(BlockPlaceEvent e){
        if(e.getBlock().getType() == Material.MOB_SPAWNER){
            File f = new File("plugins" + File.separator + "PluginNameHere" + File.separator + "SpawnerData" + File.separator + e.getPlayer().getName() + ".yml");
            try {
                PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(f, true));
                out.println(e.getBlock().getWorld().getName() + "," + e.getBlock().getLocation().getBlockX() + "," + e.getBlock().getLocation().getBlockY() + "," +
                e.getBlock().getLocation().getBlockZ());
                out.close();
            } catch (IOException e1) {
                e1.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
    @EventHandler
    public void onBlockBreak(BlockBreakEvent e){
        if(e.getBlock().getType() == Material.MOB_SPAWNER){
            if(!this.canBreakSpawner(e.getPlayer(), e.getBlock().getLocation())){
                e.setCancelled(true);
                e.getPlayer().sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "This is not your spawner.");
            }
        }
    }
    private Location parseLocation(String s){
        World world = Bukkit.getWorld(s.split(",")[0]);
        double x = Double.parseDouble(s.split(",")[1]);
        double y = Double.parseDouble(s.split(",")[2]);
        double z = Double.parseDouble(s.split(",")[3]);
        return new Location(world,x,y,z);
    }
    private boolean canBreakSpawner(Player p, Location l){
        File f = new File("plugins" + File.separator + "PluginNameHere" + File.separator + "SpawnerData" + File.separator + p.getName() + ".yml");
        try {
            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(f));
            String line;
            while((line = in.readLine()) != null){
                if(this.parseLocation(line) == l){
                    in.close();
                    return true;
                }
            }
            in.close();
        }catch(IOException e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return false;
    }
}

Done. This will do everything described here.

 

I understood everything that code expressed.







No really, I did D:

 

So easy, a caveman could do it.

 

>_>

<_<

 

Congratulations, Akrill.
You're dumber than a caveman

 

Well, at least Akrill went right out with it

 

I only understood the boolean.

 

I usually use a universal config controller and filemaker. It's a little more complicated to make, much more organized.

 

Saint, you seem to know what you're doing.

 

Dear god I have NO idea whats going on here!
