Physical Engine

Our physical engine makes it possible to destroy each arena procedurally and in an unique way each time you play. Arenas take explosions normally and applies gravitation force to them, so blocks not only get destroyed but also fly around like in a real life!

To achieve this, we use WorldEdit and save your arena map in two states: the first snapshot (when you start playing), and the second, destroyed snapshot (when the arena is completely destroyed).

This has two benefits:

• It prevents players from escaping by destroying unwanted parts of your arena - only you set up what you want to destroy.
• It opens up unlimited possibilities for custom-made destruction.

All of our plugins labeled with procedural damage share the same groundwork for it, but details may vary due to different game principles in each plugin.

An arena snapshot is the state of all blocks within the arena region. It is basically a representation of how exactly your arena looked like, when the snapshot is taken.

WorldGuard and FastAsyncWorldEdit Notice

• FastAsyncWorldEdit may prevent procedural damage from shooting blocks to the air. We recommend testing it out without FAWE if having issues.
• WorldGuard may also interfere with procedural damage. To fix this, you just have not to set "false" -build and -block-place flags. If you don't set these flag, or set them "true" it works.

Making Snapshots

To create arena snapshot, you need to select a region that represents the arena first. To do that, issue "/ma tools" and get yourself the Region Tool, with which you simply right and left click two region points in the bottom first and top last corner (to make a cuboid region).

Once you have selected the region, you may now create the arena snapshot.

The First Snapshot:

This is the first snapshot of your arena. This should represent how the arena look like, when it's started. Do not damage the arena yet.

1. To save the the snapshot, simply type "/ma menu " and click the Snapshot button.
2. Then, click the "Take the First Snapshot" button. Snapshot will be saved immediately.

The Second Snapshot

This is the final representation of how your arena should look like, when it's fully damaged. After you have saved your first snapshot, it is time to make some damage! We recommend using a hacked client with the Nuker feature in Creative mode, that allows making massive damage while you're flying around the arena.

To save the snapshot, use the steps in the First Snapshot, but use the buttons for the "Last Snapshot" in the same menu.
