External command spells allow you to make spells out of commands from other plugins, complete with reagent cost, cooldown, and everything that comes with a spell.
An external spell functions the same as any other spell as far as the plugin is concerned. If you'd like multiple external spells, just use the Spell Copies system like you would for any other spell. They can also be used as part of a Multi Spell.
Option | Description | |
---|---|---|
command-to-execute | The command(s) to execute when the spell is cast. This is a list of commands. You should leave off the beginning slash. | |
command-to-execute-later | The command(s) to execute after a certain time has passed. This is a list of commands. You should leave off the beginning slash. The delay time is defined by the command-delay option. | |
command-delay | The amount of time to delay the commands defined in command-to-execute-later option. This is in server ticks (20 ticks per second usually). | |
command-to-block | This is a list of commands to block players from using. You should leave off the beginning slash. This option is mostly unnecessary as of version 1.1, you should use the temporary-permissions option instead if possible. | |
temporary-permissions | A list of permission nodes to grant a player temporarily when casting the spell. Note: PermissionsEx doesn't seem to properly support this feature. | |
temporary-op | If this is true, the casting player will be opped temporarily so they can use the commands. | |
require-player-target | Whether to require a player target to cast the spell. | |
execute-as-target-instead | If this is true, the target of the spell will execute the commands instead of the caster. This only works if require-player-target is true. | |
execute-on-console-instead | If this is true, the command will be executed on the console instead of by the player. | |
obey-los | Whether to obey line-of-sight restrictions. Only matters if require-player-target is true. | |
range | The range to target a player. Only matters if require-player-target is true. | |
beneficial | Whether this is a beneficial spell (when require-player-target is true). | false |
block-chat-output | Whether to block chat output of commands run by the player for this spell. This will still output at least one line, which can be customized by the str-blocked-output option | false |
str-blocked-output | See block-chat-output above. | (empty) |
The commands can use parameter codes to fill in certain information in the command.
Code | Description |
---|---|
%a | The name of the caster (actor) |
%t | The name of the target, if require-player-target is true |
%1 | The first typed parameter, if the spell is cast with the /cast command |
%2 - %9 | Same as above |
