How this plugin works

I know it should be self-explanatory, but this plugin doesnt appear to remove any abandoned building blocks... i placed 2 blocks in the middle of nowhere for like... 2 hours.. and this plugin didnt remove them, maybe i need some clarification on how to work this plugin.

enable the debug mode and make sure the timers are set. Debug mode will post messages in console when the plugin does anything and possibly tell any issues.

This is a completely abandoned structure.   It has been for about 15 hours now... i ran the /cleanserver command manually... it didnt even touch any of this.

Maybe i'm not sure how this plugin works.

Can you copy your config and paste it so I can see what your settings are.  There are 3 options you should check, 

 

    "checktimer": 10.0,
    "buildingtimer": 1,
    "tcrange": 20.0,

* tcrange -  sets the TC range for safe items
* checktimer - sets the time in mins when items will be scanned and removed
* buildingtimer -  sets the time for how long items can be placed before deleted on next scan


Also note that the plugin only tracks structures that are placed when the plugin is loaded. Any structure built before this plugin is loaded or while the plugin is unloaded it will not be able to record those structures or assign a time limit.

I believe that could be the issue, this was before the plugin was installed.

{
  "Settings": {
    "checktimer": 30.0,
    "buildingtimer": 60,
    "tcrange": 25.0,
    "removecorpse": true,
    "droploot": false,
    "removeanimalcorpse": false,
    "removaldelay": 30.0,
    "debug": true,
    "excludeitems": ""
  }
}

This is my Config file.

OK so how it works is:

Each building piece that is placed is recorded with the ID and time stamp with the exact time so the plugin knows what building pieces are there and when that building piece was placed. If it was placed before this plugin was loaded it was not able to record that building and will be skipped. All buildings from then on will be recorded.

From there you have 2 timers.

First the check timer, your settings show 30.0 so every 30 mins the plugin will do a scan of all buildings that it recorded. Then it will check the timestamp of each building to see if the timestamp has past the building timer. In your settings you have 60 as the building timer so if the timestamp is less than 60 mins then it will skip that building piece until the next server scan 30 mins later.
 

Does it ignore the building if it has a TC on it.. so it doesnt just.. delete peoples structures?

yes, the "tcrange": 25.0, setting is what controls how close they must be to a TC before it is removed

Ok good. Thank you!
