Author Topic: Public and Locked Bricks  (Read 2325 times)

Two checkboxes in the wrench menu labeled "Public", and "Locked".

Public bricks can be built on by anyone, but nobody can destroy, paint, wrench, or do anything else to them.

Locked bricks make it impossible for you to accidentally hammer them, paint them, etc.. They can only be unlocked by wrenching them and unchecking the "Locked" box. However, the D-wand can break them.

Of course you can check both, because there are many places you'd want to have public locked bricks. I just want to prevent confusion that will probably happen anyway.

The reason to have these settings is so you can build landscapes such as islands, mountains, or (in conjunction with maps such as Above) a bunch of connected baseplates to customize how large you want the building space to be.

No, nobody can exploit this.

Yes, people can spam things on them. People can spam anything anywhere. If it's tricky to D-wand large amounts of spam off of the bricks, just clear that player's bricks. If you say, "I don't know. It sounds like people can spam this." it won't even make sense, and you obviously haven't read the entire post.

So how does it sound?

I think this would be amazingly useful. I hope it's possible.

You should work out a different method for setting public/locked bricks. Nobody's going to want to have to wrench each brick.

This is needed in the next version.

Hmm... You may be right. Perhaps a tool, like the bricknamer?

locker gun/ unlocker gun or public / non-public gun?

I don't want them to be special bricks. I use a lot of ramps and regular bricks in my terrain, so it would be like duplicating all of them.

Slash Commands for setting something like Public + Locked. Or just public, or locked.

/setbricklocked
/setbrickpublic
/setbricklp


*lp means Locked Public

No model for the gun, just a printer. A blue one? If this is going to be a default suggestion though, we might as well make a new model.

For the slash commands, how do you determine what the command is acting on? Is it the last brick you placed, the brick you're looking at, what?

You'll get a special tool with the shape of the printer, green blue or yellow I may think it will be, and each time you zap a brick with those tools they automatically turn those options on/off.

It is the gun.

You set the mode the gun is on.

So lets say I said /setbricklocked

Every brick I shot with the gun would be a locked brick.

Vice versa.

What if you just typed /bricklocked or /brickpublic, and then every brick you make after it is either one depending on what you typed in. And if you typed in the other then it would make all the bricks you plant after it be the one you picked.But would that mean that you would need to make a new brick pack? Or would you edit the trust levels for it?

I kinda like that idea more than mine.

It takes away a lot of work.

Have a hotkey to toggle it on/off as you build, like Supershift.
