    Trigger based on player role.

    There are ways to do that, but yes the specific way you are saying, it's not implemented, as far as i know. You basically can show messages to specific roles, but the way its triggered it's like you said it is, you can make the trigger area in a place where the other team has access, or make it disabled by default and enabled it in a way you know it can only be accessed by the specific team you want etc.

    Editor Suggestions

    Good suggestions, there are some points that i would add: Being Able to Create New Entities: for example making compositions entities, being able to spawn compositions, to be used on triggers, it will allow creators options to make a game like a moba, when you can spawn minions with a time trigger for example Disable Terrain Collision: Add button Disable/enable collision in editor, it's annoying to have to disable terrain just because i don't want to have collision, specially when the collision box is larger than in character mode Make Custom Select Box: Making it easier to select specific parts of a big composition, make an ajustable box that selects everything within it when clicked. Make Custom Creation Paint Box: Be able to fill in for example a 10x10 cube with stone blocks, or the custom size you want with the block you want. Saving a lot of time to create Bigger compositions, i know you could create what you want and make it a composition to be able to use it later, but that implies wasting time, this tool would save a lot of time and disk space for redundant stuff. Replace Tool: select a number of entities, and then replace them by another block you want. Instead of having to delete them and then filling in the gaps with the block you want

    I truly understand what you said, and i do hope the discussion stays alive. The only problem i find is really the server aspect, and private servers charging coyns for players to play on their servers, i really doubt that you could really control if the host abuses or not, as for example takes the coyns from players and then just takes the server offline. or if the host is a griefer, or if they are depicting 18+ creations without warning to the playerbase of the server, affecting a 5 year old playing in that server after he payed coyns( pixel art of penis as example people having sex). My point is if you give the ability of a private server host of charging people coyns for playing in his server, and if the server host does anything mentioned above. It will link you to the abuser, make you partly responsible of facilitating his scam, or making parents angry because you let their child see 18+ content on a server that he's playing after paying "coyns" the official currency of the game. I hope you don't feel like, i'm being over the top, i'm just giving fair warnings on the point of allowing private server hosts, charging official currency to play on their servers. It's not a case if it will happen or won't, because it will, people are people and that will never change, there will be cases of server hosts doing what i mentioned above. The main point is can you really have a iron grip on all the private servers that are charging coyns to play on them? Will you be able check on all of them all the time? I really doubt it.... And that is why i'm stating my concern on that feature, i can only see a "shitstorm" (pardon my french :P) happening. Keep up the good work

    @WijkagentAdrie I do agree on your points, i sincerely only see disaster if they go the route of players have to pay coyns on playing certain private servers. I sincerely believe if the server host wants help on keeping the server up or some extra cash for the time invested on monitoring griefers, cheaters and exploiters in the server, he should get his own private donation system, patreon or setting up a paypal where players can donate to him. @Aleš Ulm I understand it's early like you said, i hope you hear the feedback, and be transparent as possible, and show the players the iterations of the system, before it going live. As i'm confident in the Ylands Team abilities, i do think it will need the player support for it to work, if people feel like it's a way to suck their money out of their wallet, they will most likely won't adhere to the coyn system.

    Got to say i have the same concerns that @WijkagentAdrie has. Only thing i disagree with him and @Myrik Greene, on the point of server hosting, and the reply on people being able to rent servers for coyns and charge coyns for players to play on their servers. I believe private server hosting, shouldn't be meddled by the Ylands Team, if the case of charging coyns, was on a official server ran by the Ylands Team, then i don't have a problem with that, but on private servers i can't agree on that. My point is when the game gets a bigger audience, the number of private servers will rise, if you the Ylands Team want to allow the private hosts to be linked with the official coyn system, you should have to supervise every server that does that, to avoid scammers that exploit the system (for example a person pays 10 coyns to play on a server and then the server goes offline the day after and goes down for a long period of time or just doesn't come back, making it a loss for the person who paid to play on the server) I don't think that will be a possible task, to check every private server that does that. Private servers should adopt the same system Minecraft has, the servers are ran how the host likes, if he want people to help him pay for the server set up a patreon page or a donation system on a website, so people can help him out. What i completely do not feel it will be a good choice and hope you listen, is link the coyn systems to private server hosting, it will open a door for a disaster waiting to happen. I give the example of minecraft because i play it since its alpha version, and it's concept can be seen inside Ylands, as well. Both Sandbox games, where you can create, whatever you imagine. I sincerely hope you listen. My case is it is very hard to supervise servers, can you be responsible for server hosts that exploit the system and trick,specially younger players, out of their coyns? Can you be responsible of server hosts griefing their players? Because when you link your coyn system to that, you should be held responsible on all that. The workshop coyn system supervision can be done. As it's difficulty is not compared with a server supervision, as there are not that much relative factors, as for example server uptime, a workshop work can be easily detected as scam or not, if you charge coyns on one block, and show a different picture on the preview, or you claim something. There isn't a that much gray area on workshop works, Specially with steam workshop, where there are comments, upvoting and downvoting, and reports. I hope you take my points into consideration. Keep up the good work
