    I don't know if it was already suggested but here we go anyways. I know there are clickable NPCs at spawn, but I think this would be useful for personal use? It's basically the ability to make a sign that is clickable and it can only support /warp or /visit commands.

    Perhaps it could function the same as typing the command in chat? If anything doesn't exist or is locked, it will still register as clickable on the sign, but when you try to click the sign it will say this in chat as it usually does:

    I think it's similar as trying to make [Private] lockette signs on things that aren't lockable. It still registers but it turns into a [?] sign and doesn't work. What do you guys think?

    The idea is definitely cool. I’m just worried about the difficulty in creating such a plugin. It’s one thing to make it so you, yourself, can click it, but to make it so others can, is a bit more complex. This would mean that players can create signs that, when clicked, perform certain actions. Having this ability available to the regular player, might cause issues.

    However, I know Lee is more then capable of creating it, so. I would love to see it come to pass.

    I don’t mean personal use as in private use, but it can be if the player wishes to hide the signs. I was thinking that the plugin would be like chest shops? Chest shops are used by everyone, and it’s accessible to other players not apart of the island as it’s not a part of or bypasses /settings. I know that allowing all commands to signs would be problematic (like spamming /kittycannon for example) but I don’t see issues with just /warp and /visit other than how difficult it may be to create.

    Edit: Also I know it’s impossible to add what is and isn’t existing manually, that’s why I say it should function like chat.

    Warp signs are handled by essentials but should only be used by admins imo.
    However,
    Visit signs sound cool. Players who like to advertise other islands could set up signs for easy teleportation to islands.
    Signs would not bypass /lock.

    idk if its the case now, but greenies cant use /warp
    this would be really helpful for the entire community

    maybe there could be signs at spawn that just tells you the warps?

    Ohh yeah, you're right, just leave warps to the admins/leave it as is then. Besides, it'd make /warps command useless then right? But yeah, the main thing I wanted was visit signs the most.

    When I was still a non-rank I could use /warps command and there's also a bunch of NPC warps at new SB spawn as well.

    I mean yeah because we don't have player warps plugins it would mean the only warps that can be made on signs are server ones. Which would be nice to have at spawn though.

    Support as people can create in game "shop lists" signs that you can click to go there. But that's if its possible and not so hard to make

    Full support. These signs would make life easier for all of us. Plus there are a lot of fun uses for them.

    Support; it would be a unique and cool idea to implement this on the server. What would be cool is if we could add teleportation signs that could let you teleport someone anywhere on your island (only). But I suppose that could easily be abused with people putting lava underneath those points or somewhere in the void, it would need a lot of looking into, sure that you can’t teleport people into those areas.

    Support. I think this would be a really cool idea. I messed around a bit on YouTube, learning how to set up a basic plugins, and I think that this would actually be fairly simple to implement. There is a way to detect what is written on a sign when a player right clicks it, and this can be used to make signs that only trigger a certain event, if the sign is set up properly. It can then force the player to execute a command, essentially using /sudo on the player, which eliminates the need to account for locked islands; if the island is locked, the player will get an error message, just like they would if they tried to visit it by typing out the whole command.

    Here is an example of what the signs could look like.
    Screenshot - 2863022ad70d30c3969531e6cb2fa0ed - Gyazo

    Every time a player right clicks a sign, the plugin would check lines two and three of the sign, and look for the word [Visit] or [Warp]. If the sign's second line has [Visit] written on it, it will simply try to visit whatever username is written on the third line. If the sign's second line has [Warp], it will force the player to warp to the warp specified on the third line.

    It is also possible to make it ignore colors, allowing players to customize their signs with any colors they want, and add other information on the first and fourth lines, as those are not taken into account when a player right clicks the sign.
