Flags - Advanced

This page explains more Flags that may be used, as well as some advanced Commands that pertain to the residence flag system. It is designed to be a continuance of the Flags page, so if you have not read that yet, please do so.

Advanced Commands for setting Flags(top)

Setting Flags when not standing on the residence(top)

If you are not standing on your residence, but are still on the correct SMP, you can change residence Flags by adding an exclamation mark prefix and the residence name or its address to the set, cset, pset, or cpset Commands.

• Example: /res set !1001 move f. This would set the move flag to false on residence number 1001.
• Example: /res pset !1001 krysyy build t. This would give Krysyy the build flag on residence number 1001.
• Example: /res pset !aikar krysyy build t. This would give Krysyy the build flag on Aikar's residence.
• Example: /res cset !1001. Opens the GUI menu for residence Flags for residence 1001.
• Example: /res cpset !1001 krysyy. Opens the GUI menu for Krysyy's residence Flags on residence 1001.

Setting multiples at a time (Flags and players)(top)

You can set several Flags for several players at once by adding the extra names and separating them with commas (without spaces). This can be applied to several Flags, several players, or a combination of players and Flags. This will also work for setting Flags while not standing on the residence (seen above).

• Setting a flag for 3 players at once: /res pset Aikar,Maxarias,Krysyy move false.
• Setting 3 Flags for 1 player at once: /res pset Aikar use,container,redstone true.

Copying Flags to another player(top)

You can also copy all the Flags from one player, and apply them to another. This is done using pcopy:

• /res pcopy <FromPlayer> <ToPlayer> - Copy all the Flags from "FromPlayer," and apply them to "ToPlayer."
  • Example: /res pcopy Aikar Krysyy. This would copy all the Flags Aikar has, and copy them to Krysyy, effectively giving Krysyy the same Flags.

Copying Flags to another residence(top)

You can also copy all of the Flags from one residence to another. This is done using mirror:

• /res mirror <ToRes> <FromRes>- Copy all the Flags from "FromRes" and apply them to "ToRes."
  • Example: /res mirror 100 200. This would copy all Flags from residence 200 and apply them to residence 100, so the Flags on both Residences would match.

Gset: Setting Flags for Residence Groups(top)

Using these Commands will give Flags to anyone in certain Residence Groups, which you can create. You can visit the Residence Groups wiki page to learn more about this mechanism, including how to add and remove Groups.

• To give a flag to a group, use /res gset groupname [[flag1] true].
  • Example: /res gset myfriends build true; this would allow anyone in your myfriends group to build on your residence.
• To deny a flag from a group, use /res gset groupname [[flag1] false].
  • Example: /res gset enemies move false; this would prevent anyone in your enemies group from coming onto your residence.
• To remove a flag from a player (set it back to default), use /res gset groupname [[flag1] remove].
  • Example: /res gset griefers build remove. This removes the build flag from the griefers group; you would normally use this after you have already given a flag to someone.

Explanation of sub Flags(top)

Sometimes a residence flag controls a lot of different blocks. A good example is the container flag: this does not only control chest access, but also controls furnaces, brewing stands, hoppers, droppers, dispensers, and even beacons. In those cases, it is possible to give players access to a single block only, by using a sub-flag. Keep in mind that sometimes it may be easier to use Access Signs, but if you absolutely want to designate sub Flags, it is an option.

For example, to give access to hoppers only, you would use the container:hopper sub-flag. Using sub-Flags works just like using regular Flags; the only difference is the parent flag:sub flag notation that is required or is shown.

Overview of All Available Flags and Sub Flags(top)

The Admin Flag(top)

The admin flag was designed to be used for alternate accounts of the same person. The Admin flag includes every flag, as well as the ability to give players permission to delete the residence, change the Flags, etc. It is HIGHLY discouraged for sharing with friends.


WARNING: Staff members may not be able to help if you give out the admin flag. If you give out the flag, you are giving that player the keys to everything you have, all at once.
