Flight Timer

What is and does it?

This plugin allows server-owners to limit the time that players can fly. For example: by default a player can fly for 10 seconds, and has a cool-down of 5 minutes. If you have a higher rank, you could have a flight time of 5 minutes and just a cooldown of 20 seconds. This way, flying is not overpowered and can still be given as a reward in game.

How to use the plugin as a Player?

Every player has a flight timer. This is the time you can fly. If the flight-timer is empty, than you will drop down of the sky and you will enter a cool-down. The cool-down length depends on your rank. You can check your status by using the command '/fly check'. This command also shows you your rank. You can use the command '/fly' to start fling and again '/fly' to stop flying. If you stop fling your flight-timer will stop counting down. If you want to see how much flight-time you have left, you can use the command '/fly check'.

How to use the plugin as a Server Owner?

In the config file you will find by default a rank.op and a rank.default node. Every rank has two variables: airTime (the time a player can fly) and cooldownTime(The time the player has to wait before flying again). This is the default config:

rank:
    op:
        airTime: -1
        cooldownTime: -1
    default:
        airTime: 10
        cooldownTime: 300

You may never delete the op and default rank because these are auto-assigned. If they are missing, the console will be flooded with errors. You can add custom ranks by adding the ranks to the config. An example of a custom config is this:

rank:
    op:
        airTime: -1
        cooldownTime: -1
    default:
        airTime: 5
        cooldownTime: 600
    Vip:
        airTime: 30
        cooldownTime: 20
    VipPlus:
        airTime: 60
        cooldownTime: 10
    Admin:
        airTime: -1
        cooldownTime: -1

In this example there are 3 custom ranks. Here is what these ranks do:

So in short, you can add ranks and give those ranks by giving the player the permission flight.rankname. If you have a airTime of -1 than the player can fly forever.
