Pex - [Insert a million question marks here]

Plugins Plugin Discussion
1

Okay… I’m very confused… Pex for Sponge is Fundamentally different than Pex for Bukkit/Spigot…
Is there a cheatsheet somewhere that explains everything? I looked at the “getting started” page but it didn’t explain the commands or what they do very well… the commands in general seem very cumbersome and seem to have many more “keywords” than traditional pex… if someone has created a cheatsheet somewhere and could post it that would be helpful.

Here’s a helpful quick reference by MoeBoy [unsupported Guide] PEX quick command reference
An official tutorial: https://github.com/PEXPlugins/PermissionsEx/blob/master/doc/Tutorial.md

Here’s my logic behind/interpretation behind the commands

  1. Always /pex just beacuse that’s how every plugin goes

  2. Now what do you want to do with pex? something to do with a player or group?
    /pex user or /pex group

  3. Specify which player/group
    /pex user steve or /pex group admin

  4. Ok! What do you want to do to them? Change their permissions? Assign which group to inherit settings from? Other features? Here’s where you need to memorize or look up the arguments. Some examples:

/pex group admin def true
sets group admin’s default permissions to true (access to all permissions)

/pex group helper perm pixelmon.command.pokeheal true
allows the group helper to use /pokeheal

/pex group admin option prefix [Admin]
sets group admin’s tag to [Admin]

/pex user Steve parent add admin
makes Steve part of group admin

Note for permissions, every mod/plugin command has their own permission node (ex. pixelmon.command.pokeheal). Usually they’re listed on the mod/plugin’s wiki.

This whole folder is good: PermissionsEx/doc at master · PEXPlugins/PermissionsEx · GitHub

but since you are experienced in pex 1, I’d suggest

https://github.com/PEXPlugins/PermissionsEx/blob/master/doc/Command-Equivalency.md

https://github.com/PEXPlugins/PermissionsEx/blob/master/doc/Changes-In-2.0.md
