Monument Lock 1.8.9

What does it exactly lock?  Does it prevent others from looting?  Does it time out after a certain period?

Thanks.  Currently (v1.0), it prevents anyone else from looting within the bounds of that monument.  It also tells other people that there's no point in going to that monument so choose another one.  This is only useful for PVE servers.  Times out after 10 min from last activity.  Next version, monument locks will expire the moment the player loots anything outside of it (ie. on his way back to base).

I love the idea of timing out the lock when a player loots a container outside of the monument, but will the timer still be in effect? So, if someone loots a monument, but doesn't loot anything else for a while, will it still time out? What about a distance unlock too? If they move X meters from the monument, the lock expires?

Excellent questions, and thanks. Most of all that I'm still just considering.  Currently, the lock timer expires after 10 min(default), and that's configurable.

If I watch for player movement, then the plugin will consume many more server resources.  But the CanMoveItem hook will trigger even when depoting as base, so you will rarely see a full 10min. (theory).

I'd also like to incorporate other triggers like players disconnecting or going afk, or possibly custom behaviours that are configurable..

Since we are already tracking time, I suppose we can reward players for monument time., and receive bonuses for passing configurable milestones.

I suppose I could track player movement if (and only if) a player is currently in a monument, and then every step he makes will trigger an InBounds check.  But it's resource intensive while being at the monument.  Could call that HyperDrive mode, that ships false as a default but for those dead president collectors, they could turn that mode on.

Does the plugin take team members in consideration? I.e: are team members allowed to participate in looting/swiping cards?

Could this also lock npc damage/looting?

Can’t see Launch Site or Giant Excavator in config, is these  supported?

Would it be possible to have specific lockout times per monuments? This would make us able to lock small monuments like Supermarket or Gas Station for a few minutes, and larger monuments like Oil Rigs or Military Tunnels for a longer amount of time.

Any way to display the lockout timer on monuments on the map? (Could use a vending marker with a border).

Not 100% sure about respawning time of monuments and the mechanics of it, but would there be a way to display a timer on the map, for when the monument are lootable again? (Would probably only work on key card puzzles, to use a key card swipe hook or something).

This plugin seems awesome for our PVE server, and would prevent all the problems regarding who came first and so on. Would love to get this!

Thank you, Z.  These are wicked ideas.  All of this is possible.

1. I don't have teams support yet.  (duh).. I'll get on that.
2. NPC locking is definitely possible and in progress.  Likely v1.3 or 1.4
3. If Launch is on your map, you'll get Launch.  Type mlock.fresh in your console and you'll get a fresh list, based on your map.
4. Monument specific lock-out times sounds nice.  I like that.  I'll need a bit more time with that.
5. I really would like to add some mapping features for sure, including timer.  It can be triggered by keycard swipe and looting a container, and picking up an item.. so many triggers possible.

Looking forward to those features

Also, it would look more pleasing if we could specify a display name of the monuments in chat, instead of the prefab names

nice plugin

is it possible to make it work with npc/bots aswell? since i got botrespawn on all monuments and some players like to steal other peoples npc/bots?

like nullify damage done by players that are not in teams/clan with the one currently holding the monument?

Thanks..  For sure, dude.  I'm working on the team support right now, cleaning up some code, adjusting config, and will also add npc support..

few options here.  simply nullify npc damage.. or, we can also give the player damage to themself if they're shooting npcs when they shouldn't.  We can also broadcast that a player is doing something they shouldn't?  I suppose all should be configurable.. but I'm interested in knowing who you'd use it mostly.

ahh yeah  lets do the damage to them self  and also broadcast what there doing wrong

that just sound amazing :D::D:D

hehe, figured.  I'll add those as options in the next release.

can you also add like a red map marker if its occupied so people can check map to see if its free or not? 

also exclude (outpost, bandit, fishing villages and ranch)

those should be excluded already.  Any monuments you list in the Excluded config list will be

this last update 1.3.1 should do it.

Is it possible to lock the cargoship by changing the configuration file?

This is the lighthouse.
Exceptional monuments cannot be looted.
I wonder why?

I thought of the cargo the other day but haven't had time to attempt that.  But definitely on the radar.  Thanks.
