📚Commands

A simple explanation to use the plugin commands

General informations

All the GSigns commands start with the same label. This label, gsigns, has a few aliases so if you don't want to type /gamemodesigns every time you can also use /gsigns and even /gs .

For this tutorial we will use /gs because it is the shortest, but if this command is already used by another plugin or you can't use it for any reason, just replace the label of the commands starting with a /gs by /gsigns or /gamemodesigns.

Creating a sign

The plugin guides you through a simple step-by-step process to create a sign. Just enter the creation command, click on one corner, click on the opposite corner and you are done. Your sign should now appear in front of you. This command takes a code as input, but more about that later.

Usage:

/gs create (Code) # Starts the process of creating a sign

Permission:

gsigns.create # Allows you to use /gs create

Canceling

If you want to leave the sign creation at any time, use this handy command.

Usage:

/gs cancel # Cancels the current creation process

Permission:

gsigns.create # Allows you to use /gs create

Removing

Removing a sign is also only a one-click action. No breaking of item frames is necessary. The plugin automatically removes everything for you, even the map files. Just enter the command below and click on one of your signs. This command also takes an optional argument, which is the UUID of the sign to be removed. Each character has its own unique identifier (UUID for short) that uniquely identifies it. If you simply type /gs remove hit space and then press tab, you can browse through all currently used UUIDs.

Usage:

/gs remove [UUID] # Remove a sign

Permission:

gsigns.remove # Allows you to use /gs remove

Listing

The plugin allows you to browse through your local images stored in /images/ in the plugin folder and through a list of the tags you have created. When you type one of the following commands, an interactive chat message will be displayed. The interactive buttons at the bottom are used to refresh the current page, go to the next page, and go back one page. Depending on the list you are viewing, each entry also has a few buttons next to it that you can interact with.

Usage:

/gs listfiles [Page] # Lists your local images
/gs listsigns [Page] # Lists your signs

Permission:

gsigns.list # Allows you to use /gs listfiles and /gs listsigns

Teleport, play and pause

The following commands can be used to teleport to a sign, stop a playing sign, and start a stopped sign (the latter only works for sign with GIFs in them). To let the plugin know which sign you are referring to, enter the UUID of the sign as argument.

Usage:

/gs tp (UUID) # Teleport to a sign
/gs play (UUID) # Play a sign
/gs pause (UUID) [Page] # Pause a sign

Permissions:

gsigns.teleport # Allows you to teleport to signs
gsigns.pause # Allows you to pause and play signs

Opening the GUI

With the next command you can open a menu that basically offers the functionality of all commands, but within a convenient GUI. It also has an in-game editor where you can edit the config.yml file.

Usage:

/gs gui # Opens the gui

Permission:

gsigns.gui # Allows you to use /gs gui

Additional commands

A list of additional commands that the plugin offers is shown below. They are all quite self-explanatory.

The /gs updatecommand not only checks for updates, but also installs the latest update directly into your /plugins/ folder without you having to do anything.

Usage:

/gs update # Updates the plugin
/gs help # Shows a list of all the commands
/gs info # Shows information about this plugin

Permissions:

gsigns.update # Allows you to update the plugin
gsigns.config # Allows the player to use the ingame config-editor
gsigns.* # Grants every other permission
