(Parkour Addon) Custom Parkour Events dont have check/victory points

[bozott]

-----What is the issue?------
When I am creating custom events that use the parkour plugin (e.g. like how the superpaintball uses the paintball default http://wiki.battleplugins.org/BattleArena/Custom_Games) I am unable to set checkpoints or victory points for the event.

I can set victory points and checkpoints in the "arenas.yml" config, but when I play the game it dosen't recognize them.

The victory condition in both the default parkour config and my custom one are both set to "CUSTOM"

Thanks in advance

I have thoroughly investigated it... This appears to be a mis-configuration issue.

BattleArena will allow you to have whatever *.yml files you want in your /BattleArena/competitions/ and /ArenaParkour/ folders... BattleArena will only load custom competitions from *Config.yml

BoatRaceConfig.yml

BoatRace:
  name: BoatRace
  command: race
  prefix: '&6[BoatRace]&e'
  displayName: BoatRace
  gameSize:
    nTeams: '1+'
    teamSize: '1'
  nLives: infinite
  victoryCondition: Custom
  times:
    matchTime: 120
  tracking:
    database: Parkour
    rated: true
    useTrackerMessages: false
  arenaType: ParkourArena
  arenaClass: ParkourArena

This is half the file (without all the onSpawn, onJoin, onCompete extra options) and it works.

For BoatRaceConfig.yml you will need the first yaml node as BoatRace and value the name: node will also be BoatRace. A file named BoatRace.yml will NOT work.

The command: race node is tested & working, however, you're right, that you cannot add checkpoints or victorypoints.

[Europia79]

I am unable to set checkpoints or victory points for the event.

Whoops, I got the /race command working for BoatRace... but yeah, you're right, you can't use /race or /pk to add checkpoints or victorypoints.

From a player's perspective, alls they're gonna be doing is
/boatrace join, /br join, or /race join

So I see two options here: Either

1. Open up ArenaParkour.jar and edit the plugin.yml to add your command aliases:

name: ArenaParkour
version: 0.8.4

main: mc.arena.parkour.Parkour
authors: [MCForger, alkarin]
description: Parkour plugin for BattleArena.
depend: [BattleArena]

commands:
    parkour:
        aliases: [pa,pk,boatrace,br,race]

Or
2. Change the command: node in ArenaParkourConfig.yml

Parkour:
  name: Parkour
  command: boatrace
  prefix: '&6[Parkour]&e'
  displayName: Parkour
  gameSize:
    nTeams: 1+
    teamSize: '1'
  nLives: infinite
  victoryCondition: Custom
  times:
    matchTime: 120

Eventho you change pk to boatrace or br here, you will still be able to use /pk cmd.

For the prefix: & displayName: nodes, you can set those per arena in arenas.yml or via BattleArena commands.

However, if you're not even going to have arenas of type Parkour (and you're only going to have arenas of type BoatRace), then you could simply change them in the ArenaParkourConfig.yml

If you're curious what the cause of this is

@MCCommand(cmds={"addCheckPoint", "acp"}, admin=true)
  public boolean addCheckPoint(Player sender, Arena arena, int index)
  {
    if (!(arena instanceof ParkourArena)) {
      return sendMessage(sender, "&eArena " + arena.getName() + " is not a Parkour arena!");
    }

That's the ParkourExecutor. As you can see, it appears that BattleArena is not instantiating an instanceof ParkourArena... eventho you clearly specify in your config arenaClass: ParkourArena
