Hey everyone! I am here to talk about my suggestion about a new plugin for the new PVP arena!



Plugin name:
SFTBet

What I'm thinking it will do:
It will allow people in the PVP arena CROWD to bet on the players that are fighting in the arena below.
Optional: Possible add a GUI - please leave ideas for this as I don't know how it would work.

How it will work:
Let's say that if "Player1" and "Player2" want to fight and there are people who are either waiting to battle, are bored or just want to see a quick match (or maybe just exploring the beautifully designed arena).
The people in the crowd will type "/bet" or something similar, and this will bring up either a list of commands that you could do (see Commands) or throw a syntax error stating that you have to type "/bet <amount> <player1> <player2> (optional: <player3> <player4>)"

Blalp's (possible) fix for the exploit that Copen found (scroll down a bit to find their comments):
"Copen, we could make it where all the money that is bet goes into a pot, then the people that were correct get a piece of that pot. No money added.  The only money in circulation would be the people who bet, no more money would circulate"

If anyone wants to think of more/better fixes, I'll add them here!

Commands:
As stated in the previous section, the syntax error would work but would have less effect.
The syntax error could also direct you to the first command in the list: /bet help


/bet help
What this does is generate a list of the commands in the SFTBet plugin.
Description:
Shows this help menu!


/bet <amount> <player1> (vs) <player2> (optional: <player3> <player4>
Note: The person you're betting for is first in the player list - if I want to bet for the player "Shmipper", then I will put it like this: /bet <amount> <Shmipper> <dutbug>
Description:
Places a bet on the first player listed!

Feel free to suggest more commands that would be helpful to the plugin!


Admin Commands:

/disable bets
Pretty obvious what this one does.

Feel free to suggest more admin commands that would be helpful to the plugin!



That's about it for the plugin suggestion! I will edit this regularly to state the suggestions that I/the community think will be good for the plugin.

Actually a really really awesome idea Shmipper. @copen6199 - can something like this be created? o.O

I don't see any reason why it couldn't be created.
Have a fantastic day!

as i think think this is a well thought out idea there is a way to exploit it.

Player1 and player2 both bet on player 2 to win for 1000 emp. Player1 lets him kill him to gain emp. Both players would gain emp and exploit it.

Ill see if i can come up with a way for it to work and if fear wants to make it.


Either way great idea :)

Copen we could make it where all the money that is bet goes into a pot, then the people that were correct get a piece of that pot. No money added.  The only money in circulation would be the people who bet, no more money would circulate
Have a fantastic day!
