Ziplines

Ziplines lets players string a zipline between any two points they choose: from a treehouse to the next tree, off a cliff, or from one base to another.

It is the game's own zipline, so riding one feels exactly like the ones at monuments.

How it works

1. Open the panel with /zipline and make a Zipline Kit (200 wood and 1 rope by default).
2. Hold the kit, look at where the line should start — a tree trunk, a wall, a post or a rock face, at about head height — and press R.
3. Look at the far end (a wall works too) and press R again to link the two.
4. To ride: stand under the start, look along the line and press E.

Before a line goes up the plugin checks its length and slope, that nothing is in the way, and that there is somewhere to land at the far end. If it refuses, it says why — for example "That climbs at 18 degrees. A zipline can climb at most 15."

Each line runs one way; put up a second for the trip back. Both ends are tied to what they were aimed at, and if that is destroyed the line comes down with it (and the kit goes back to its owner). Put the kit away to forget a marked start.

Managing lines

The panel lists each player's lines with their length, grid squares and slope (climbs 6°, drops 12° or level), so two lines between the same squares — one there, one back — are easy to tell apart. Take down removes one and returns the kit.

Languages

English, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and Simplified Chinese are built in — no lang files to install. Each player sees the language their own client is set to.

Every download is licensed to you and watermarked with your details.

• Zipline between any two points: trees, walls, posts and rock faces
• The game's own zipline, ridden with E
• Built from a kit that costs wood and rope, with a rope charge per length of line
• Checks length, slope, obstructions and the landing before building
• Panel lists every line with its length, grid squares and slope
• Lines come down when what they are tied to is destroyed
• Per-player limit, length, climb and drop limits, all in the config
• Permissions to lift the angle and length limits for chosen players
• Seven languages built in

1. Download Ziplines.cs from My Plugins.
2. Drop it into oxide/plugins or carbon/plugins.
3. Grant the permission:

o.grant group default ziplines.use

On Carbon use c.grant instead of o.grant.

The file name must stay Ziplines.cs — Oxide matches it to the class name.

The config is written to oxide/config/Ziplines.json (or carbon/configs/Ziplines.json) on first load. Edit it, then reload the plugin (o.reload Ziplines or c.reload Ziplines).
