Title: Suggestion about //calc
Post by: Theologist_Green on 14 January 2018, 01:31:42 PM
I remember playing on my old server and //calc was a usable command to the players. I believe this is a command from world edit but I might be wrong. I feel this would be very useful for people who do a lot of trading and farming since they can calculate how much they earn though trades or see how much of a farmed item they will get. I know you can just a calculator. I feel that the use of it would be helpful nonetheless for people would prefer to use the //calc command on the server.

Thank you for your time.

You have a computer. It has a calculator.

It just does math for you?
Like //calc 2+4*6?

If so, I see no reason why not

I'm against it. Mainly because if used for complex equations I feel like it could cause momentary lag, which while it may not be a big deal, livid said it best. Your computer has a calculator. Use it.

VC is hosted on a computer. computers are meant to calculate, by a lot more complicated stuff then someone running a basic mathematical  command lol. I see no problem with it.

this can crash the server if you put in the right equation, a big enough number (maybe) or an infinite loop would do the trick

Yah sorry. I didn't realize you could do that with the plugin. My mistake.

either way its pretty easy to avoid anyway with some configurations (if it's even an oversight anymore)

Hmm fair enough, let's avoid it.

Everyone can use the calculator on their pc then, or for more complex stuff, http://www.wolframalpha.com/
