Tutorial suggestion

[Kloud_Strife]

I was just thinking that this would be helpful to new players, especially if no staff are online.

Fairly simple suggestion: The first time a player logs in, they spawn in the tutorial instead of the main.

Feedback is appreciated (including: THIS IS A TERRIBLE IDEA)

i remember once i had to guide a rookie with no staff (i am not staff) and i told hime to do /tutorial and i guided him through the tutorial and i had to help someone else with items and commands and i think that your idea is good but it may be hard to program :)

Already thought about it, but we do not have the right $variables for it.
We need Dest (Or sam) to program this.
IF we want it

This would be useful. The first time I joined TNT, I didn't even know there was a tutorial. Not until months later did I actually know about it and learn what everything did.

Was coded in the past, causes issues with -hax so anybody who was new to the server could hack.

In theory a good idea, not implementable due to the reason above and not being able to do it through command blocks currently.

Alright, that's fine. Just something I was thinking about, didn't really believe that it was possible anyways.

I mean it's POSSIBLE, it just causes issues! :D If we could have it working fine, we certainly would. I might have a go at trying to create a $timeonline or something like that, for use in command blocks, so if somebody's play time is less than a minute or similar, they'd be sent there. We'll see!

Well it's nice to know that it hasn't been consigned to oblivion. Don't spend too much time on it though, it's not exactly something I feel is super important.

I may have come upon a solution. Create a new default "rank" for players to be set to upon their first login. Then have all players below the current player rank be sent to the secondary home world, which is the tutorial (i.e., /home and its corresponding world would be restricted). Finally, at the end of the tutorial, either add a command block that upgrades the player's rank, have the portal do that when entered, or have a final message block which shows a command such as "/upgrade (password)". When used, this changes the user's rank to the current default, "player". I hope this is programmable in Python.

I think I could code this with a few if statements. The 'rank' would be something along the lines of a first login of a teleport straight to the tutorial and disable /home. The name of the rank would be 'newbie'. I'm sure sam or other respective developers could take care of this. Once I get home, I might be able to get the code done. The new person who logs in will get a message along the lines of 'Welcome to the Blocktopia TNT Wars Server! Let's do the tutorial to get us started!'

Or staff putting the new people in the tutorial

Just sayin'

Still people around to tell them to use /tutorial

Yes, but this way they wouldn't have to say it and the player would be forced to go through the tutorial.
