Suggestion Mailbox System

[GoofyyGhoul]

Last night as i was getting off and thinking since i am now currently a level 40 smith, i was thinking of a safe way to enchant items and repair items for townies if say they are not online at the time. I thought, what if there was a plugin to where you engineers could set up a "mailbox" for each player so to speak? Like say someone needed something enchanted or repaired, You could put it in your mailbox outside your house and when you place it in there, have a command that would let you send it to the designated player in town in which you wish for them to recieve it. And say it worked kind of like putting a postage stamp on your "package". Whenever you go to send it, it takes out souls in order to go through? Just thought it would be a cool idea. Any feedback?

Perhaps "seal" the item in an enderchest (like the loot crates) for a certain soul cost (dependent on the item(s) perhaps?). You could then address it to another player with a mailbox somehow, and they can check their mailbox to receive the crate, and then open it, and repair, reseal, and ship it back.

EDIT: We should also restrict it to one mailbox per person, and have a soul cost to create a mailbox. Otherwise, people will drop these down wherever and have somebody at town ship them supplies. This system could also be used between towns, and have a town mailbox.

Exactly what I was thinking!!! Haha. @jan9f

So like a donation chest that teleports items across the map?

If that is the case, I feel this will get abused just for sending items to people

But please correct me if I am wrong

 

[GoofyyGhoul]

Not necessarily derpy. You must pay souls in order to send items and it can only be within town regions and maybe allied towns @MCderpy12

 

[GoofyyGhoul]

Also, it would be restricted to certain items

 

[GoofyyGhoul]

What are your views on something similar to this, @hilltim1 and @strongholdx ?

 

[jan9f]

Yeah restrict it to within town and perhaps maybe an official town mailbox to send soul items between towns, just an idea.

 

[GoofyyGhoul]

Exactly why I'm talking about!

 

[MCderpy12]

I still feel it is basically a donation chest, but yet another plugin.

I am prob not understanding it fully, but from what I am gathering it is basically, like I said, a donation chest

Yes but honestly my main point is a mailbox between towns for soul items, not just town members.

Mabye make it a part of the plugin for the shops, make this a donation chest that is a ender chest that is universal for all town members (possibly take the skill away from the merchant and make it simply this.

We used to have a mail system. It was dope. I want it back

The reason I would say this is bad is because townies could grab things meant specifically for town owners.

Edit: perhaps some perm a town owner can set to give a member perms?

Really do like this idea, I'm guessing it would be limited to items that have a durability too? Maybe more souls for greater distances? Increased costs depending on material of item (less for leather and more for diamond?)

 

[GoofyyGhoul]

@Kainzo, what would you say to an idea like this?

Well I'd like to be able to trade soul items, so I wouldn't agree with durability only.

 

[GoofyyGhoul]

I figured also yesterday as I bought a crate key from a guy, you could also transfer items such as that and say the more uncommon relics as well.

I'm not quite sure on all the flags for items (haven't got a clue) but I'd prefer to see a town region added that sends these soul forged items to a target town for a cost of souls or regents
