    hi, i recently made a skin comp area but its very hard to host. when people pay me their entry fee others manage to steal it. also whenever i try to let someone in to the comp the second i open the door 3-5 people flood in without paying. IDEA: to add /pay where it would be like this: /pay example_name 1 grass and the grass comes straight out of their inventory into mine. or the chat would say "saintsebastian's inventory is full" when my inventory is full and i can't accept their payment.
    or what if some1 wants to pay me 1 goded cobble but it ends up paying me 1 normal cobble it could be where when u do /pay example_name it opens up your inventory and u drag what u want to pay into a "pay box" on the side of the screen.
    lastly, add in some kind of way to make it so greenies can make a sign like the trade shop like [tp] {1 grass } so u pay 1 grass to tp to the designated block. i guess this rules out /pay so tell me what u think and what command u would use!


    EDIT: if you go with no support tell me WHY and what you use for your comps.

    FINAL ANSWER: i have found that frederic's idea is better than /pay or the pay sign so you no longer have to show how much you have me.

    Tips to holding paid skin comp without adding a plugin
    1. Made the pods large enough so you can get in with a player. When people are locked away get them to throw their payment at you.
    2. If people don't pay, let them in but don't pick them as the winner
    3. Lock the island before you begin.
    4. have a donor assist to tpa people into pods rather than letting people freely come using /visit

    If all else fails, always make skin comps free because a competition shouldn't make someone pay. Skin comps are not for people to make profit, they are supposed to be for fun. If you don't have enough for a prize, don't have a comp.

    No Support, Even though it is a good idea, it wont be added due to the fact people will abuse it
    by doing this /pay AdamCakezor (ITEMID-Cobble) 1 [with a name of random choice] to purposely fill up their invent constantly by changing the name of the Cobble by using a Anvil.

    No support. It is a good idea, but as Krissy stated above, the problem can be easily solved. It could possibly be that the design of your skin comp is not well-made, as I don't get as many problems when I hold one

    You can make payement booths I just had the idea now but haven't tried it yet.

    It would look like this:
    2016-06-06 10_33_01-Microsoft Excel - Mappe1.jpg

    This is a corridor. Down is "outside" the comp, up is "inside". The black boxes are concrete walls, Grey is for a pressure plate, Brown is a trade chest where you trade the Skin comp Price for something worthless like a stick. The two small black lines are doors oriented towards the corridor wall so they are "open" when the pressure plate is inactive. As soon as someone steps on the plate, both doors Close. Now you are on the inside and you wait until the Player "trapped" in the booth trades in the chest. You can check by leaving a block open so you can see the chest from the inside. As soon as the grass or anything you required is in the chest, take it and open the "inside" door manually. As soon as the Player leaves, the booth is open for the next Player. If two Players step inside at the same time, you just wait for both of them to trade before opening the "inside" door.

    Hope this works and helps.

    No support, not really needed for most players. People would probably abuse it a lot.

    We shouldnt encourage an activity that creates 90% of chats spam. If you get scammed too much or whatever- dont do it or be more careful.
