Author Topic: Build height control  (Read 1066 times)

An rtb pref that would allow how tall players can make their buildings. I personally have people spamming towers a lot in my server, and it would be nice if you could just set the height control. Example: Someone tries to spam a tower, once the height reaches 100 bricks (Adjustable height) it will deny it to them, Maybe with float warning? If the host tries to change the pref with bricks already over the height, it will deny it to them and it must be trimmed to at least the height that was tried earlier.

There's a limit warning which would fit much better than float.  Also, it should clear bricks above the limit when setting a new one, possibly with a warning. Maybe the warning can list up to 5 people who have bricks above that limit. Preventing them from lowering it and forcing them to find where someone might have spammed, possibly miles away, is a terrible idea.

Maybe the warning can list up to 5 people who have bricks above that limit.

I think this would go well with the boarder mod (the one that kills the player if traveld far enouph)

Spammy towers are easier to get rid of than spammy walls... All you need is a wand :D

Who needs a wand when you can just press buttons?

Sounds easy to do, the only problem is what do you do when someone uses something other than a slate-type map?

Why? This just sounds like an annoyance more than anything. Just allow them to change it anyways, with an option to clear any bricks above the limit

Could you possibly send a raycast down from the placed brick and get its distance from the terrain directly below it?
