I didn't read it all (only the first 3 paragraphs), but this is all doable in Lua.
I find this funny. Most of the time now with suggestions, someone says that it's possible with Lua. First off, We dont even have an official API to work off of. and second, suggesting that something will be possible with the Lua plugins seems to be an easy way out now. And how can you know if it's possible if you didnt even read it all.
NEKPED's right. Making it so anyone can build anything easily takes the spirit and fun away from the game.
No, that's not really what i meant. I'm kinda talking about this being an admin-only power that can be used to clear out areas to build in. Say i want a mini-ocean in a map that's completely flat. a nice size that i'm pulling out of nowhere would be maybe 100x100x60 (600,000 blocks to clear, then the outer edge to re-enforce is even more.). clearing this out by hand would be incredibly tedious and i really don't want to put that much work.
I looked at the index and searched, and didnt find anything.
I want a tool to delete/make blocks of the same type between two boundary blocks, of a different type. Hopefully it could automatically detect different dimentions also.
Perhaps you could just have a 10 block length line of stone. you want it all glass. So you change the outside two blocks to glass, then use the tool to delete all stone blocks in between, then switch it to spawn glass ones in between. Or with a square, you could have a stone square, change the corners to glass, then change each edge to glass using the tool, then delete all of the stone in the glass square and use it to make a glass square. Apply the same idea to a cube.

But i do like this idea, btw.

No, unless someone is so determined to grief that they gain the trust of the admin. I'm pretty sure i said it'd be an op-only ability.

I'll definitely work on it when it's added :smile.gif:

You're not the server admin. You want to keep it online.

Does this clear the idea any more?

It's just something i've been wanting.
