Limit Entities 2.1.9

Could you create categories like "Plant Box" to encompass all types of plant boxes? Facepunch has now started creating identical items like plant boxes with different prefabs, and I limit plant boxes, but this new prefab counts separately. Or perhaps create categories for us to categorize prefabs.

For example, I create the category "Lights" and put the Lights prefabs in it, limiting it to only 10. Each type of Light placed that belongs to that category would count 1 less toward the limit of how many can be placed.

Ex

 "Light": {
        "Limit Total Entity": 100,
        "Limits Entities": {            
          "assets/prefabs/deployable/ceiling light/ceilinglight.deployed.prefab",
          "assets/prefabs/misc/permstore/industriallight/industrial.wall.lamp.deployed.prefab",
          "assets/prefabs/deployable/playerioents/lights/simplelight.prefab": 
   }

This would be pretty neat idea

The grouping system cannot be disabled, I want to disable the grouping since I have a different scenario on my server.
even if I remove the entities list from the group it always says that I have to remove one of them from the config.

],
  "Entity Groups": [
    {
      "Group name": "Foundations",
      "Group Entities list": []
    },
    {
      "Group name": "Roof",
      "Group Entities list": []
    },
    {
      "Group name": "Quarries",
      "Group Entities list": []
    },
    {
      "Group name": "PlanterBoxes",
      "Group Entities list": []
    }
  ]


the console still says this (not full console)

[Limit Entities] You have 0 valid entities in Foundations group in your config file! To get a list of all supported prefabs use console command limitentities.list
[11.28 10:51:48] StringPool.GetNumber - no number for string no_name
[11.28 10:51:48] [Limit Entities] You have 0 valid entities in Roof group in your config file! To get a list of all supported prefabs use console command limitentities.list

You can't use the same prefabs in groups and individually. Choose one and remove it from the other 'assets/prefabs/building core/foundation.triangle/foundation.triangle.prefab'
[11.28 10:55:34] [Limit Entities] You can't use the same prefabs in groups and individually. Choose one and remove it from the other 'assets/prefabs/building core/foundation/foundation.prefab'
[11.28 10:55:34] [Limit Entities] You can't use the same prefabs in groups and individually. Choose one and remove it from the other 'assets/prefabs/building core/roof.triangle/roof.triangle.prefab'

and there are long consoles saying this because I have 6 tiers

@Ping Chun Chang remove groups, not entities lists in them:

  "Excluded list": [],
  "Entity Groups": [],
  "Permissions": [
...

I did all and getting the same result before I posted here. 
with or without grouping. 

Is there a way to show item names instead of prefab name?
planter.large.deployed would show as Large Planter Box instead for example.
Tried with translation api but didnt make it work.
Possible to add this in config so i can set the name of it myself?

@Hawkhill Rust Translation API v1.1.0 doesn't require any configuration, it should work out of the box.

If you prefer, you can create separate group for each entity and name it you want.

What is the correct name to use in the config to limit windmills?

try "assets/prefabs/deployable/windmill/electric.windmill.small.prefab"

Does this works with the Clans plugin? Or is there a functionality to limit the structures per team? Thanks!

@Notz no

Hi @MON@H thanks for reply. Mevent Clans plugin has the option to automatically create an original Rust team when creating a clan. Is this plugin compatible with the original Rust teams?

@Notz What's the point of supporting this if you can get around it by simply leaving/rejoining the team/clan?

is there an action that would show an admin the amount of limits that the player in question has available or left?

@Nstahg8r yes. Actually when admin call command (/limits by default) with player name it will show limits for that player. I will edit description later

Hi,
it seems I cannot limit Chippy Arcade Machines.

03/16 18:48:05 | [Limit Entities] You have 6 untracked prefabs in your config file! To get a list of all supported prefabs use console command limitentities.list

I created a logfile with "limitentities.list" but it is not in there.
How can I limit them?

@ZombZ it's not currently supported. Maybe I will add it later

Hello. What is the setting "GameTip notifications" for? I enabled it but I do not see anything except chat messages from "Enable notifications in chat". Is this some other plugin? 

@Bearsno, vanila ones used just like on screenshots

Hello!

Can this be brought to life somehow?
Throws an error on the console.

"assets/prefabs/deployable/landmine/landmine.prefab": 0,

@ViktorvillI will expand the supported prefabs list in the next update. I'm currently hunting for a rare NRE I encountered. Once I figure it out, I'll push the update to the public.

@Viktorvill tested landmine, works without issues. If you have one, create a support request with details

I know it is complicated but Could you also add an option specifying which entities can be utilized by teams or clans and limit clan placements?
I've limited the planter box placement and more for VIPs. However, some individuals are exploiting this system by employing their Smurf accounts to join clans, place planters, and then leave, the clan member limit is 3. Despite the limit, they're still able to place as many planters as they desire and utilize them, as the planters are solely protected by the TC range, along with both the planter defender and prevent looting plugin. 

@Ping Chun Chang It's not complicated at all, it just doesn't make sense. A player can easily bypass team/clan/friend restrictions by simply leaving the team/clan/friends and then rejoining.
