Advanced Region Management

Advanced Region Management and Region Command Reference

Let's pretend for a moment. Let's say you've set a region but you didn't make it big enough, or it's not covering the tiles you'd like it to. You can change the boundaries of a defined region with a special command.

This command is the /region expand command. It is very useful and allows on-the-fly region modification. To use the /region expand command you need to have, of course, already set a region and defined it. Now, if you feel you want to expand one of its boundaries you will have to keep in mind which side you want to expand. You need to provide the command with the region name, the side you want to change, and the amount you want to change it (in tiles).

An example usage for this command would be /region expand region1 r 2. This would expand the region "region1" by 2 tiles to the right. Notice that I used the letter "r" in place of the word "right". They are interchangeable. The four directions you may expand a region to are up (u), down (d), left (l), and right (r). These commands are intuitive and you should even be able to guess them.
Note: The expand sub-command may be interchanged with the sub-command "resize". /region expand region1 left 2 and /region resize region1 left 2 cause the same effect.

You might want to only allow certain people to be able to change a region. Perhaps you have two separate teams and you want each team to have their own build site. Or perhaps you want to give a certain person a specific build area. These things are all possible using TShock's region commands.

You may use the /region allow command to allow a specific user to access and change a region. This user will behave as if everything is normal when in the region due to being added to the exception list. To add a user to a region you need to pass the region and user names to the command. Here is an example of the usage: /region allow Ijwu region1.

Inversely, you may remove a player from a group. This can be done with the /region remove command with the same syntax. An example would be /region remove Ijwu region1.

You may do they same thing with whole groups. These group commands use the same syntax but the commands are /region allowg and /region removeg. Since the general idea of these commands is explained above, the specifics of allowg and removeg will be explained in the command list below.
