I think it would be so cool, for teleporting to happen if you were to shoot an arrow at a button linked to a teleport pad, and the person to be teleported or that by dropping an item on a wooden pressure plate the teleportation would apply. I know this may seem impossible becasue the server does not know whoes item is what. But just something to consider! Thanks! Staff Edit: (Moved over from old thread)
I'm somewhat indifferent about the suggestion itself, but... Although true it might be possible to use an already existing "next best" method to simply apply the teleportation to the player who is closest to the teleport sign.
Let it be noted, I believe this is possible, as we are able to trace who shot an arrow. Hence this seems feasible.
Okay thats what I was curious about! If the server is able to track whose arrow is who then this is totally possible. It may be more difficult with pressure pads which in theory could do the same thing. Like if multiple people all put randoms items in a hopper all at once and they drifted down random water falls and and landed of seperate pressure pads teleporting winners and losers. Which is the game i ahd in mind haha kinda like in casinos where you pop a coin in the slot from above and it bounces on the pegs all the way down and falls in an individual slot!
What does this mean? Of course they don't have an owner. But we store data on them which tells us which player shot them (or mob for that matter). Although this is possible, I do not think we would do the same for dropped items landing on pressure plates.
