I have a map running that's meant to be 1/5 PVE with the rest PVP. I'm accomplishing this by setting the default zone to Allow Damage with another ruleset to manage/prevent damage in the PVE zone.

The issue I'm facing is that players standing in PVP area can damage players/structures in PVE zone.

What sort of configuration do I need to use to mitigate this? (apologies if this has already been answered elsewhere. The forums and search function here leaves much to be desired)

would need a trace and likely the zone data too

I can answer your other thread after we've resolved this issue since they have the same exact issue with location sharing.

Merged post

disregard.

what you are trying to do is not supported. that should be done using Zone Manager instead. TruePVE is for PVE servers. 

with that said, I did try to see if I could get this to work anyway. it's on you if you want to install twice the amount of plugins required. that is not good for server performance, regardless of how good your machine is.

save as TruePVE.cs

I thought about using ZoneManager by itself, but it doesn't seem like it can handle PVE structures being indestructable to all except TC-authorized (unless that's meant to be done with another plugin)

Regarding location sharing, the car test was done inside a single zone, with no overlap. The car, the victim, and the car-pusher were all in the same location.
