I'm unable to build around my own plot pole after death. (1.0.2.5)

[spitF1RE]

I know its a common issue but i'd like to post it again. After death i can't do anything(can't remove it or build around) in my own plot pole area. Only way is to ask admin for help and place new one.

You need to dig up your plot pole and replace it.

How many toolbelt items will be lost trying that? I've never succeeded removing a plot pole without breaking everything. Might be chance based, but meh..

 

The technical issue is that the pole uses the Player_ID as ownerID, which is representing the last living character you have. When you die and respawn, a new ID is assigned. A workaround is hard, since you can't use the UID (the celebration edition is non-numeric) and if you would change the ID on the poles to the new ID, you need a server restart.

 

If I could suggest something: I would create an ID in the Player_data table , and link the plot pole owner ID that, instead of the character_data table.

 

Devs?

bump for justice :)

This is an old issue and has been discussed in many threads. Just search for "plot pole". No one's come up with a bug-free way to assign a plot pole to a UID rather than the PlayerID. If this is something the devs can change, there would be a lot of happy players out there.
