Creative Editing Signs

[KinqOfTheClouds]

SORRY IF THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN SUGGESTED.

You know that feeling when you write a really long sign, click done and see you've made a mistake? Or when you're at a Roleplay and you gotta add someone to part of your role. Well, I think there should be a way to edit a sign you place.

It will only be a sign that you placed, otherwise people would edit your signs and stuff. I'm pretty sure there are plugins that allow you to do this but the devs could always make their own one that fits MCPZ better.

How it works:

1. You write a sign.
2. You want to edit that sign.
3. You look at the sign.
4. You Shift + Right click the sign and it will show a sign with the exact stuff you put on it.
5. You write what you want to on the sign.
6. You click "Done".
7. The sign has updated.

Thank you for the suggestion, but I’d have to respectfully disagree with this- due to the following reason(s);

I personally don’t see a huge need for this. If you’re going to edit it, and it’s going to turn up blank anyway- why not just remove it and replace it. It’s much simpler than coding something you can easily do already.

Unless that is me interpreting this incorrectly, I’d have to vote -1.

Adding on to what Jules said above, it would take the same amount of time to find the place you want to edit, fix your mistake, and hit done as it is normally re-typing the sign. -1

Good point, lol. So how about a command, where you can edit 1 line? Like /editsign <line> <text>
For example if the sign looked like this:
"Hello
How are you
Ok
Bye"

And you did "/editsign 2 How are you?"
It would become:
"Hello
How are you?
Ok
Bye"

It'd take a similar amount of time to retype the sign.


It's going to have to be a -1 for me, for reasons stated above. Sorry

 

[KinqOfTheClouds]

It'd take a similar amount of time to retype the sign.

It wouldn't since it's editing one line of it, and not the whole thing. Writing one line is quicker than writing four.

Again, it’s much simpler to use the default way. It’d work out the same in both situations. The end result is still the same. Why implement another variation of something that already exists, which is already extremely simple? Even fixing one line at a time- you have to write a command and then remove the line where you messed up, and fix it. I don’t really believe this is needed.

 

[KinqOfTheClouds]

If you wanted to edit every line, then it would be easier to break the sign. But if you make one small typo then it's easier to use the command.

 

[Jxliee]

Either way it’ll have the same result. There’s no real need to add a whole new system that already exits- which is really simple. I know I’ve said this, but that’s what it is, in my perspective.

I've played other servers with this command and I used this command a lot, so I agree with this post^

Although there may be a "faster" way to edit a sign such as removing it, I feel like this can apply to certain situations but not all.
I've had numerous situations where I'm writing a sign that is full, and I mistakenly write one word wrong and I have to resort to removing the whole sign. I think this would benefit the server, especially with roleplays. A lot of players have specific "roles" that are full of information and details- once the player accidentally messes up they have to remove the whole sign which can become quite frustrating.

It would be a convenient thing to have which is why I'll be voting +1. Unless any major issues are brought to my attention, I don't see an issue with implementing this.

Overall, it's a good idea, I do see their point, on saying it's not really needed, as it's not, although I can see this come into use in several occasions. I think we've all made mistakes in signs, and this would've came in-handy.
+1

I personally don’t like the idea of this, like first of all if you’ve placed about 60 signs and you do the /editsign command what sign is it going to edit, as well as that typing out that command is going to take longer than typing out the sign itself again, if there was a way to click on the sign and edit it that way this would be a great idea, however I don’t think this is quick or sufficient enough to be faster than the default way of doing it. -1

 

[KinqOfTheClouds]

if there was a way to click on the sign and edit it that way this would be a great idea, however I don’t think this is quick or sufficient enough to be faster than the default way of doing it. -1

That was the original idea but that was turned down

 

[Jxliee]

The idea wasn’t turned down, people just didn’t agree with clicking on a sign and having it completely blank.
I personally don’t see a huge need for this still.

3. You look at the sign.
4. You Shift + Right click the sign and it will show a blank sign.

 

[KinqOfTheClouds]

Well, how else are you meant to edit it? People either don't like the idea of the command or they don't like the idea of clicking on it

 

[Aluux]

Why does it have to be blank? Why can’t when you click on it the sign with the writing on comes up?

 

[KinqOfTheClouds]

You can't go back to previous characters on a sign. You have to delete it first.

Going to be voting +1 for the reasons Cat stated. C:

You’re able to go back to a specific line, you don’t have to clear the entire sign, hence why I was confused as to why you suggested clearing the entire sign.
