Saw Plugin 1.7.2

Description

Saw is an adventure game manager for your server, designed around the popular movie maze “Saw”. The plugin allows you to set a starting and ending point to your maze, adventure, whatever. When a player starts the game, they will be automatically teleported to the start point to begin the game. The user is shown their remaining time, lives & checkpoints throughout the game. If the user crosses your defined “win point” they are automatically awarded a prize into their inventory. Saw only permits one player to play the game at a time, while placing others who wish to play in a waiting queue. After one player finishes, the next automatically starts the game. Saw takes the hassle out of having to be online to send users to the game, and ensuring they complete the game without cheating.

Features

General

• Manages game, with a start point & win point. The user is automatically sent to the start point at the beginning of the game, and will win and be teleported out if they reach the end point


• Deaths are limited to the number you set, which is by default 3, and will automatically teleport the user to their last checkpoint upon death. If the user has not set a checkpoint and dies, they will be sent back to the start point of the game. If a user uses all of their lives, they are automatically teleported out of the game, informed that they loss, and the next game begins.


• Checkpoints can be set by command, or via sign, and allow a user to go back to a checkpoint in the event they get stuck or die. Checkpoints are limited, and are by default three. The number of checkpoints displayed on the user’s scoreboard is not how many are permitted to be set, but rather how many times they are allowed to be teleported back to these checkpoints. Returning back to a checkpoint automatically after death, or by command will both count against their checkpoint allowance.


• Since game is usually in high demand, users who wish to play the game while a game is already in session are placed into a waiting queue. A scoreboard appears on their screens with how many people are waiting to play.

Protection

• Ability to prevent block breaking during the game


• Ban / Unban players from playing. This is great if people constantly abuse the game


• Command protection that disabled all commands other than Saw’s to prevent cheating


• Coming Soon Teleportation protection. Prevent players from cheating by teleportation
