ArenaCTF
A Capture the Flag plugin where you pick up the wool color representing the other team, shown by visual around the wool. Once you pick it up teams are alerted and you need to bring the flag back to your base while your flag is still there. You can make more than one ctf arena and players will cycle through the different maps.
Installing
- Put the ArenaCTF.jar in your plugins folder, along with BattleArena.jar
Making a ctf arena
- /ctf create <ctf arena name>
- /ctf addFlag <ctf arena name> 1 <- add the flag for team 1
- /ctf alter <ctf arena name> 2 <- setup a second spawn
- /ctf addFlag <ctf arena name> 2 <- add the flag for team 2
- /ctf alter <ctf arena name> waitroom 1 <- add a waitroom (you can take a waitroom out by changing the config)
Joining
- /ctf join
Permission Node
- Players will need the permission node arena.join.capturetheflag
- arena.leave , so they can type /ctf leave
How do I win ?
To capture the flag you need to bring the enemy flag back to your flag at it's home. If your flag is being held by the enemy you will need to kill them and return it back ( just walk over it ).

Requirements
This plugin is made to hook into BattleArena, so you also need to download it as well.
Help
- BattleArena : Wiki that has all the options available for both ArenaCTF and BattleArena
- Adding Signs : support for joining/leaving and status

You need to be standing on the place you want the flag, then you have to set the flag with the command.
Am I really the one who only gets this?!
Every time I start a game on ArenaCTF the flags don't spawn!!! I have followed he instructions correctly and I have followed instructions on YouTube aswell and it always works for them but not me!
What is wrong please tell!
Could you update the source please?
I've been having some problems with ArenaCTF as I've tried to put the class change signs within CTF maps. I'm not sure if I need to add something in a config in order to make it so that players can change classes, I have given them the permission node to do so, but am not sure if I need something else to enable it. The players get a message saying 'You can only change classes every X seconds' but the classes dont change their inventory.
Any help would be appreciated!
We've just started using CTF after using BattleArena for some time and we've run into a few problems.
After setting it up as you mentioned on the wiki we ran a game for a test. Players were able to pick up their own flag and then another one immediately spawned. When players picked up the opposing flag instead of getting a message that they had picked it up a new one just spawned in it's place.
We tried remaking the arena and it presented the same issue, that players were able to pick up their own flag and that it immediately respawned, the same with picking up the opposing teams flag. No messages came up saying that they had picked up a flag either.
Any thoughts? Not sure if it could be a config issue.
I'm using ArenaCTF_v1.2.6.5 and the classes won't work. Whenever a player clicks a sign nothing happens. Please help!
Ok i would like to know how to make the teams seperate do i change teamsize in config to 2+. Please Pm me the answer thx :)
@MojatoGames
check out the BattleArena/teamConfig.yml
off the top of my head it goes. Red, Blue, Black, White. After that I don't remember.. but its all changeable in the teamConfig.yml

You can set up worldguard regions and allow people to break. then the area can be reset. I use worldguard to do this though, so it basically pastes the arena back over. So watch out for lag if its a very big arena.

I can't figure out how to make a custom kit. The default one is with diamond and everything, and with the compass, and I wanted to make it stone sword, and no armor, and a few other things.
And is there a way to make it so the players can break blocks, and the arena regenerates after the match?
A follow-up to my last question: If you had more than two teams, what colours would teams 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. be?
Thanks, MojatoGaming
@navbarry
In the config, you can change onRespawn to have him respawn with a class. Please pastebin your config so I can see it :)
When a player dies he doesn't respawn with his class, even though on spawn it is set to that. He does spawn with a compass though? Should I just add the line spawn with class?
@DyreCraft: lol now this plugin isn't working neither! I guess I'm not lucky...
@alkarinv
Thanks!
@DyreCraft
Thanks a lot, this really helps! I can't wait to get this working on our server!
@MojatoGames
Team 1 default is red. Team 2 default is blue. When you create the ctf arena - the first spawn point will be red, so that also means flag 1 will be red. Hope that helps. We love this plugin on our server.
What is team 1 and what is team 2? Is team 1 red?
I'd like to know,
thanks, MojatoGames
@Paarthy
add "clearInventory" inside of "onDeath.options".
@leponder
I'm changing that up now, so right now you really can't but it should be out soon!
@Paarthy
try the command /gamerule keepInventory true
Love this and Battlearena! I was wondering how would I go about changing or adding a wait time before match to lobby, so players from previous game have time to type "/ctf join" again before next match starts if ppl are already in lobby.
