Have you ever wanted to use a command on multiple players at a time? Well now you can with Wildcard Commands. By itself, this plugin is almost useless. But combined with other plugins, it becomes an extremely useful tool.
How does it work?
Step 1: Installation is simple, all you do is drop it into your plugin folder, start your server, and you are done.
Step 2: Type a command from another plugin, or a default Minecraft command. For example /give Devinish 1 64 (This command would give me a stack of smooth stone)
Step 3: Replace the name "Devinish" with "[online]" and the command will then give 64 stone to all of your online players!
What else do I need to know?
You can use the following in place of player names:
| Name | Vault Required? | Description |
|---|---|---|
| [all] | No | This will affect all players, online and offline. |
| [on] / [online] | No | This will affect only players online when the command is run. |
| [off] / [offline] | No | This will affect only players offline when the command is run. |
| [p:] | No | This will affect any players listed. (e.g. [p:Player1, Player2, Player3]) |
| [g:] | Yes | This will affect any permission groups listed. (e.g. [g:Admin, Moderator, Default]) |
| [town:] | No | This will affect members of the town (Towny) specified. |
| [nation:] | No | This will affect members of the nation (Towny) specified. |
Example Usage
So what are some creative ways to use this?
- Reward all of your online players with some bacon, because you are a really nice admin (EXAMPLE: /give [online] 319 1).
- Add multiple people to a protection at once.
- Use SignShop and set signs up to run commands affecting online players.
- Punish players for not playing the game by deducting money from their accounts because you are an evil admin! (EXAMPLE: /money grant [offline] -100,000,000,000,000,000).
- Users bugging you? /lightning [online]
There are tons of fun and creative ways to use this plugin!

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't. :-)

Again, if you want to use [g:], where you are DIRECTLY dealing with groups for a permission plugin, you need Vault. wc.use will work without Vault, but doing things to your permission groups will not.

No you don't..
if(player.isOp() | player.hasPermission("bukkit.build"){
// TODO Your command function here
} else {
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You do not have permission for this command!");
return;
}

You do, however NEED Vault to use the permission aspects of this plugin.

Ugleh Jan 13, 2013 at 09:10 UTC - 0 likesAs a nice addition, you should add a permissions wildcard. Like for example:
/give [perm:bukkit.build] 1 1

This plugin is different. You can do /give [on] 1 1 and it will give everyone online 1 stone. This plugin listens for commands you would normally use but have replaced a username with one of the variables, and enacts them on multiple users. Marionette does not. If you only wanted to give a permission's group some items you could do that as well with WC and vault. This plugin does not allow you to run commands AS other users, however.
