Need help with anti-grieving mod to protect against mining laser

Evert79 · Jan 1st 2013

There is a problem with mining laser being used for grieving on multiplayer servers.

I'm developing a mod, that is already used on several servers.

It's called Chunk Protection and runs on server-side only.

Players can use the command "/chunk claim" to claim a private chunk that is protected from other players placing or breaking blocks there.

With the command "/chunk add [playername]" they can add players that are allowed to edit that chunk as well.

This works fine for players, but it doesn't protect against mining lasers (or cc turtles).

The mod listens for the PlayerInteractEvent, that is called when a player clicks on a block, and checks if the player is allowed to alter blocks in that chunk. If not, the event is canceled and nothing happens.

Does someone know how my mod can detect when a mining laser breaks a block, so it can protect against that as well?

Or maybe it would be possible that the laser calls the PlayerInteractEvent with the username of the player who fired it?

Kind regards,

Evert

Shouldn't this go to the Addon Discussion section as it discusses the modding of IC2?

I think it makes more sense in Support because it is asking for help with coding a mod that is meant mostly for vanilla stuff, and just wants to add compatibility for one thing.

My Protection mod is specially made to combine with Forge mods. Vanilla servers can use a Bukkit server with a lot of plugins available that offer the same functionality (often better than my mod), but not compatible with most Forge mods.

you need to patch laser entity in order to check blocks before breaking.

There's the problem. PlayerInteractEvent doesn't tell you that the player is breaking a block, it only tells you that they clicked on it.
Mining lasers don't click blocks, so they don't fire PlayerInteractEvents.

Unfortunately Forge doesn't have an actual event for block breaking, so you'll have to pester CPW or LexManos until they add it.
