You players got the mine/turret items directly from the paintball shop itself?

Have you changed the limit settings in the default config?

Do use the plugin CommandSigns?

Im also getting this problem

Hi there, we too are experiencing this same problem, if players buy the item from the shop in game or even if its gifted, players (including ops) are unable to place either mines or turrets.

Limits in the config remain unchanged, and both items are available to be used by players.

Kind Regards EllisWin.

Would someone mind showing me this on the server?

@blablubbabc: Go

I believe this is happening on my server as well. It worked once I believe, and then it never worked again. I don't believe anything's protected by plugins like GriefPrevention so I don't believe that's the case. If you're still interested in investigating this, I can PM you my server if you'd like.

@The_PC_Tech_Guy: Go

Sure, go ahead. I currently have no idea though what could be the issue here.. Though it must be something common among servers of everyone who has this problem.

Maybe you could post the plugins you use? Maybe there are some common plugins which I could check then if they might cause the issue somehow.
Also could someone who has this problem please try to reproduce the issue on an empty server without other plugins interfering and let me know if the issue is gone then?

i think the problem could be that you dont allow the placement of blocks in the arena, so maybe if you could code it so that the only blocks allowed to place are pumpkin and flower pot but I dont know if thats possible to code

Also, I just tried it on a new server with no other plugins and it still did not work

Nope that's certainly not the problem. Paintball is placing the turret entity and the mine block manually itself, after it blocked that the player places the block. So it is actually the plugin who is placing the flowerpot in the world, not the player.
Also I know that this has worked without problems in the past.

Okay I just tried it again on the latest spigot build and can now reproduce the issue. I am looking into it now.

Okay, I found the issue:

The cause of the issue is some change in spigot from about a month ago. I created a spigot ticket asking for reverting of this change. If you want you can help me by voting for it here.

If that doesn't get accepted I am gonna upload a working version, which works around this issue by checking for the special turret and mine items in the interact handling. This works but is a rather 'ugly' way of solving this particular issue.

Maby you could change the block placeing to dropping an item?

Also having this issue on a dedicated server with no additional plugins on my bungee network, the network isnt live yet so if you would like to be whitelisted to see the error in pacing mines and turrets, please let me know

I am still awaiting response to the spigot ticket I have opened about this. You can find it here: https://hub.spigotmc.org/jira/browse/SPIGOT-991

@blablubbabc: Go

Having the same problem for CraftBukkit 1.8.8 Build 201507310430 development. And no interaction with other plugins

Issue confirmed.
Waiting for fix.

Thanks.

@blablubbabc: Go

maybe time for that "ugly" fix? mentioned a few posts down, i dont think spigot are going to reply :(

@boidyluke: Go

Check out v 1.3.4. I haven't tested this version on the latest spigot builds myself yet, but it worked a few months ago (when I created but held back this workaround).

This is only a (hopefully temporary) workaround: I still hope that the underlying issue gets properly addressed in spigot in the future. So please keep voting up the related spigot issue.
