How would I enable /arena watch in an arena and what would the permission be? Also I am having trouble with how the enabled/disabled queue commands are supposed to be formatted in the config.yml. I have ['all'] set in disabled queue command and [arena leave] set for enabled queue commands but it still does not let me leave the queue.

Hey LesMineCrefts, check this wiki page: http://wiki.battleplugins.com/Item_Syntax ;)
How do i make custom named item?
I've tried to find kill rewards, and finally found it when searching in the most unlikely source: The Change Log. Apparently it's a new feature and I would like some documents about it on the wiki... Do I just add money=2(and probably also to give an arrow) or I need to do something else..
Quick Question: How do i allow Arenas to spectate them with /arena watch player?
I always get the error that the arena ist not allowed to watch, but i cant find a solution.
Hello all, I have a quick question, is it possible to give players money per kill? I know how to give them server money for winning a round/match, but would it be possible to do it per kill as the game goes along?
Thanks in advance.

Also how can I set a timer on screen like match starting in, 3 seconds, two seconds, 1 second, GOOD LUCK!?
In 3.8.8 update log it says you can set ForceStartTime to start from when 1st player joins or the needed players and I am confused... could someone tell me, if I want my FFA to have min 20 players and max 50 and I want the ForceStartTime to start from when 20th player has joined, how do I do this? All I have been able to do so far is to make it start when the 1st guy joins in with matchEnableForceStartTime: true
@Europia79
Ah okay. Now we know where the problem is at least. :) Anything I can do to fix it? Thank you for your speedy response. :)
@Dantinoz
i don't know. That's an awesome idea tho
Here I am with another question again. :P
Is there a way to make the arena chat only visible to those inside that arena? (including announcements and such) also, is it possible for each team to have a "private" chat so they don't tell their strategy to the enemy team?
@Azfaloth
i will have to debug this.
it appears to prevent item drops while in the waitroom, but not while in the arena.
Also, there is a double check for the TransitionOption.ITEMDROPOFF... Once during listener registration, and the 2nd check is each time the listener runs to make sure the competition is in the correct MatchState.
So either the competition is not in the correct state, or the MatchParams are configured or constructed incorrectly.
Hi, Thank you for your wonderful plugin. I have some issues though and I hope you will be able to help me solve them. I am setting up a skirmish area on my server where players should be able to pvp each other with items back.
I have two signs at spawn with skirmish join and skirmish leave. After which the players are teleported to an arena about 50 blocks away.
I have a bug where players are able to drop items in the arena even though I use the no dropped items option as seen in my config (linked below). And use things like splash potions and enderpearls. If an item is dropped within the arena or a splash potion or enderpearl is used till there are none left, most of the time the item bugs out after the match and does not restore properly.
What happens is that the item appears in the inventory with a zero on it. For armour, tools and arrows etc if you click on the item with the zero, it vanishes from the inventory.
For splash potions and enderpearls etc you can still throw the item, though it appears with zero. And it goes into negative numbers and can be used infinitely.
This is effectively causing
1) an infinite potion and enderpearl bug. 2) A losing inventory items bug. 3) Being able to still drop items when the option is off bug/
These first two bugs seem to be caused by not restoring the correct quantity of items back while restoring inventory causing the zero to appear and resulting in those problems.
I am running 1.8.7 spigot with BattleArena version 3.9.10.4 but i have been having this bug since 1.8. I have not used the plugin before that. This is my skirmish config: http://pastebin.com/9B5jLU1a
Other relevant plugins are multiinv, essentials, worldedit, worldguard, mcmmo, plotsquared, towny.
Please let me know how I can fix this.
Regards, Azfaloth
I really can't figure out how to set up a Free for all but with two teams where they have 2 spawn points and stuff, can't figure out how to do it and can't find any tutorials to do it?
If anyone could help me, my Skype is 'Lukecharltonnew' and would love to be helped and would appreciate it so much :)
Thanks, Lukech
@Europia79
I'm using this: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/health-bar/
@Dantinoz
Try config.yml option:
Now, exactly what HealthBar plugin are you talking about ? I would like to investigate the conflict further... To see if i can make the plugins compatible with each other.
@Europia79
Thanks, it works like a charm now!
But I have another question... How do I turn off the colored names inside the arena? It's interfering with my HealthBar plugin so the healthbars don't show up :S
@Dantinoz
The yaml node that you're trying to use is "Arena.matchTime": Your yaml is valid syntax, but that's not the correct node. You should use "Arena.times.matchTime"
It looks like this: http://hastebin.com/ubejapazor.sm
Also, there was a matchTime inconsistency in the code where it was sometimes treated as an integer and other times it was treated as a string... So you should update to v3.9.10.4 : which resolves this inconsistency.
I posted this a while ago, but I never got an answer for it. So I'm asking again:"MatchTime" automatically sets to 2minutes, no matter what I set it to. Here is my ArenaConfig.yml: http://pastebin.com/1YkzDG1a please fix this, or tell me if I made any mistakes in the config, would appreciate it alot!
@Europia79
Thanks for the help!
