Snowballer

Overview

Snowballer adds features onto snowballs, primarily for use in MobArena. The most important feature is adding damage, which is only enabled through a permission node. By doing this, you can have snowballs as a weapon type for a specific class in your arena!

Setup

Config Setup

The config.yml file has some very basic options, which are explained below.

Quote from the Config Setup:

snowball_damage: # - This is the damage snowballs will deal. 1 point = 1/2 heart.
allow_dispenser: [true | false] - True means dispensers can throw damage-dealing snowballs.
allow_snowman: [true | false] - True means snowmen can throw damage-dealing snowballs.
use_permissions: [true | false] - True means permissions are checked for player-thrown snowballs.

How To Use

In order to use Snowballer, you have to assign the permission to the users/groups who can have snowball damage (or other effects).

Quote from the Permission nodes:

snowballer.damage - Allows snowballs to deal damage when thrown.

How To Use in MobArena

To have damage-dealing snowballs in MobArena-only, assign the Permission to the class(es). Future features will be separate permission nodes, so avoid using snowballer.* node. For example:

1
2
3
4
5
6

classes:
    Megaman:
        items: snow_ball:64, grilled_pork, bone
        armor: 298, 299, 300, 301
        permissions:
            - snowballer.damage

To Do List

My current to-do list:

• See if I can set snowballs on fire (visually).
• Add the permission for snowballs to extinguish fires on players and/or mobs.
• Add different damage levels for snowballs (based on the permission given).
• Change velocity of snowball throws to make them more straight-line shots (as an option, at least).
