Reply With Quote #1

Hello, I'm looking to find out if there's a way I can make the "walls" to the zones bullet proof, so people outside said box could not shoot inside, and likewise, people inside could not shoot outside.

I'm sure someone's done it but I don't understand coding at all and have no idea what I'm looking at. :I
I tried Devzones with the "no damage zone" thinking that at least that could be a temporary solutuin, but I have no idea how to even get no damage zone to work with the Devzone plugin.

Can anyone help me on this?

Dev Zones:

I just don't have a clue what the hell I'm doing.

With Map Zones I can use the features that come with it, but have no idea how to make a custom zone.

With Dev Zones I just don't know how to anything but make a box.

Is this for a spawn protection plugin?

Not spawn protection, but for a surf anti-jail killing protection, allowing players inside of jail to still shoot each other without interruption of players outside.

Id have thought that would be more to do with the actual map? Rather than the server itself... Why don't you make your own map version. Change the jail to a different material?

First one wont help
Map zones is to prevent players from going into a certain area, what you need is some kind of zone that prevents people outside the zone doing damage to players inside the zone.

That's why I (think) some other servers use Map Zones or Dev Zones, since the plugins allows you to create your own box (in my case, around the jail) and people can make their own third party plugins which they add to the features, I'm just unsure on if there's a way to make said "box" be impenetrable to bullets.

I don't have any experience in map making, I once made an untextured box which took me about an hour, I don't think I'd be able to change the thickness of the wall (if specific wall thickness is even something you set? Or textures come with a set thickness, I don't know)

It's a weird request because almost every combat surf server is looking exactly for this, yet no one seems to have made it. (At least, not for free or released it publicly)

I'm getting to the point where I'd pay someone to do it for me because I've wasted weeks trying to look into this and Dev/Map zones is the closest to what I think it could be.

An example of the jail kill is on this server:
93.186.198.123:28115 (this isn't mine, please don't think I'm advertising in any way)
If someone could actually look at it theirself they'd probably understand what I mean better than me trying to explain it.

Exactly! Okay, well this is already a notch in the right direction, so I can cross Map Zones off of the list if this won't help.

So here's my second question and one that's riddled me, how do I use your DevZones? I've made red/green/blue boxes, saved them, but then after that I have no idea how I go about making them "jail zones" it's more confusing when it's a seperate plugin, do I just add this like I would with most other plugins and DevZones knows to pick this up? :I

When I learn how to actually use this I'm going to make a tutorial (With your permission) for other people who may not be as knowing as I am.

For example, I've installed both Devzones, and the jailzone's files, I've created my zone and this is as far as I get, how to I actually make the zone a "jailzone"?

surf_greatriver_xdre4m_mp.zones.txt
Code:
"Zones"
{
    "0"
    {
        "name"        "Zone 1"
        "cordinate_a"        "-192.031250 -831.979248 1476.774536"
        "cordinate_b"        "775.912354 -1792.031250 1639.093872"
        "vis"        "0"
        "team"        "0"
    }
}
