Can't create hidden switches

[Diffuse]

Pretty much the title. Level 55 mason, says I have hidden-switch creation but I can't make em.

These 3 lines come up when I try:

You are not allowed to build hidden switches.
You created a hidden switch!
You do not have permission for that.

I'm a mason and I have two problems:

1. Everytime I place a sign I get an error that says, "You are not allowed to do that." But then... I'm allowed to do that.
2. Finally, as a Master Mason, I should be able to make hidden switches. Right now, it seems like I can't. The sign just pops back into my hand. Help?

 

[bluejack404]

This exact thing happens to me.

 

[Psychokhaos]

The whole "You are not allowed to do that." thing happens to me too, and I'm not a specced Crafter of Caster.

Use to have the same problem when I was mason for the not allowed part. Might want to check it out.

I am also a master mason and I also cannot use hidden switches. When I attempt it I get the following:

"You are not allowed to build hidden switches.
You created a hidden switch!
You Do Not Have Permission for That"

The sign pops off and the switch is definitely not created.

 

[Matterz]

Same problem. Sign pops off and switch is not created.

 

[Kryptomaniac]

In terms of the generally placing signs...

The whole you are not allowed to do that. I believe its you dont have permission is everyone, whether mason or not. It has to do with donor colors or something like that.

I found this on our Wiki:

To make a hidden switch put [X] on the second line of a sign. Place a switch next to the sign (or on the block above/below it)
To activate the hidden switch click on the block on the side opposite the sign. This will toggle the switch you placed next to the sign.
(not 100% certain but it appears that only a mason can activate the hidden switch)

It seems it is possible and allowed on HC, so either it is a bug or you are doing it incorrectly according to how the Wiki explains it. =P

I call broken, other Masons have been having the same issue.

*Fixed*

But yeah, the ''You are not allowed to do that'' happens to everyone

Will need to ensure that the proper permissions are granted. Let me check

After investigating - here are the perms for Default in relation to ALL Users:

  default:
    permissions:
    - bettermechanics.small_bridge.use
    - bettermechanics.bridge.use
    - bettermechanics.small_gate.use
    - bettermechanics.gate.use
    - bettermechanics.small_door.use
    - bettermechanics.door.use
    - bettermechanics.lift.use
    - bettermechanics.hidden_switch.use

Here's the permission-skills in Heroes:

 CreateHidden-Switch:
    usage: Hidden Switch Creation
    permissions:
    - bettermechanics.hidden_switch.create

The Mason skills:

 permission-skills:
    CreateHidden-Switch:
        level: 55

@DThielke @Sleaker - this is either failing because:

1. Starburst perms is having an issue with the dash '-' in the perms
2. Heroes is having a hissy because of the dash '-' in the perms
3. Better Mechs isnt properly working
4. Something else I'm just not sure about

Bump, It appears that Better Mechanics is broken on almost every single aspect. Gates, Switches, Bridges, Doors. This makes my Mason awesomeness sad. I think the only thing that does work fully is sBridge, Lift, and sDoor.

Havent had any reports of anything in BetterMech broken. @Danda can you test on the test server please?

 

[Danda]

ye I'll do that now

EDIT: I can make them but that don't change state
@Kainzo

 

[Kainzo]

Danke - it should all be the same - I think - if not feel free to edit the configs. Last I checked these all worked on our last testing phase. You may need to update test to latest cb++ (254)

Gates ... doors .. bridges - can you make these? I havent dealt much with hidden switches to be honest - they may have never worked properly.

Gates, Bridges, door and lifts all work fine.

 

[Kainzo]

k - I can only assume that H-switches probably never worked and the above necroing bumper doesn't know exactly how to add gates/doors

So after looking at the Github for BetterMechanics, I believe I found the issue with hidden switches. The guy never put them in, all it does is broadcast a message you created one.

For issues people have with extra parameters with width of doors/bridges and the [101] for gates. The plugin never checks 3rd or 4th lines for extra parameters. Also for gates with the iron and wood fence issue, whatever the config file has listed last for block types and it finds one somehow in it's range it will always use that.

Well, to be frank we have a private repo for BetterMechs, @Sleaker & @unknownloner have access to it.
