Arena Paintball - trouble with pvp override

[TheLecturer]

Hi.

I run a non-PVP server and would like to know if it is possible to have Arena Paintball working? I had guessed by the transition setting "pvpOn : set PvP damage to be on (overrides most other plugins). Friendly fire is off " that this would be possible, but I cannot seem to get it to work.

• I have pvp = true in server.properties.
• This is over-ridden by a Multiverse setting which sets pvp to false on a per world basis.
• BattleArena installed and working fine as I already have Arena Spleef (though not requiring pvp)
• With this setup, Arena Paintball does not work (snowballs pass harmlessly).

If I change the pvp setting in Multiverse to "true", then Arena Paintball works. However I don't want pvp on for the whole world.

I also tried creating a region and adding it to the Arena Paintball arena with "/arena alter addregion" - this added the region to WorldGuard with flag "pvp:allow" and priority 11, but made no difference.

Is what I am trying to do possible? Or have I misunderstood the option "pvpOn : set PvP damage to be on (overrides most other plugins). Friendly fire is off" ?

Thanks very much.

So I think unfortunately there isnt much I can do when you have multiverse setting the world PvP to false. Basically that is like setting pvp=false in the config for that world. When that happens no damage events happen :(

Most people that want to have no pvp except for in select places use WorldGuard, though I don't know exactly how to set that up.

Thanks for your reply - managed to work it out after sleeping on it :-) Solution below in case you want to add to documentation, and you were right, it is WorldGuard which controls it.

So - to enable Arena Paintball in a non-PVP world with Multiverse and WorldGuard:-

/server.properties
  pvp=true

/plugins/Multiverse-Core/worlds.yml
  worlds:
    myworld:
      pvp: 'true'

/plugins/WorldGuard/worlds/myworld/regions.yml
regions:
    __global__:
        type: global
        priority: 0
        flags: {pvp: deny}
        owners: {}
        members: {}
    ba-paintball:
        type: cuboid
        min: {x: -1817.0, y: 66.0, z: 2545.0}
        max: {x: -1766.0, y: 110.0, z: 2586.0}
        priority: 11
        flags: {pvp: allow}
        owners: {}
        members: {}

The "ba-paintball" region definition in the WorldGuard region.yml file is not required, strictly speaking - the paintball game works without it - however the players get spammed with "This is a no-PVP area" (or some such) even though the snowballs cause damage. Adding the region using your "/arena alter arenaname addregion" command removes this message and makes for a cleaner game.

Thanks!
