    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    All Main Servers
    Short title for your suggestion:
    Allow Defining Polygonal Plots
    What are you suggesting:
    I am suggesting that the ability of players with Towncontrol+ to define plots be expanded to include defining polygonal plots.
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    I've often wanted to define plots in my towns with non-cuboid shapes, mostly for aesthetic reasons but also to set flags for very specifc areas. I feel like this is a change that would allow more creative use of the perks that Towncontrol affords players with that feat, and help people to build more natural and more beautiful towns.
    Other information:
    While I don't presume to know exactly how ECC's plot system works, it's obviously a wapper around /rg define, /rg setparent and /rg delete.

    Worldguard supports defining regions that are either cuboid or polygons with heights. If a player wanted to define a polygonal region with worldguard, it is quite simple:

    1. //sel poly (put worldedit in polygon selection mode)
    2. //wand
    3. Click blocks to indicate points of a polygon
    4. //expand <n> <up|down> (to give the polygon a height if desired)
    5. /rg define <region name>

    Currently, if you try to select a polygonal region and issue /setplot, you're just told that the region needs to be a cuboid.

    Perhaps this could be a new tier of Towncontrol, integrated into Towncontrol+3 or just available to everyone with Towncontrol+.

    ^ All the above was copied from my earlier suggestion, which was denied with advice to resuggest at a later time.
    Plugin or custom addition:
    Worldguard (with ECC's plot commands)
    One suggestion per form:
    I Understand.

    +1 Most of the plots in my town are not cuboid, and I would love to have actual plots setup for them.

    Yeah, but given the timeframe it would have been in the setup to transition to ECC 2.0, which would explain why Andrew denied it with a suggestion to revisit at another time.
    I don't think Andrew implied that this was a bad idea, because... I mean we all know he would have immediately said so if he did.

    +1 for the sole reason of it'd be a really useful addition to town-management.
