    Brief Description: Blocks adjacent to a hidden switch bypass the lock on said switch

    Instructions: Create a hidden switch with blocks on all sides of it. U,D,L,R,Front
    Lock the switch sign
    the block the switch is on responds normally "locked by blah blah blah" message when used.
    All other blocks bypass the entirely

    How many times did you recreate this?: 4

    Result: switch works for anyone who knows where to hit

    Expected Result: Switch only works for those on the lock list.

    Evidence: can provide you with an example in game. just ask as I can't record or upload vid/pics easily.

    Is this on the main servers or on archive/skblock?

    We'll need a video to get to the bottom of this.
    Please have someone record one.

    I've brought this up to the developer of this plugin, but it seems they, just like me, are completely confused what you mean.
    We do not have time to get on the server and examine a minor issue like this, please provide a video.

    here is the best I can do video wise. what I mean is this
    a hidden switch is a sign attached to a block. (given)
    if you lock it the block it is attached to is also locked (given)
    any bordering blocks touching the sign directly will also activate the switch, so in front of, above, below, left and right of the sign...not the block it's attached to (not so clear by the plug in but easily discovered)
    the problem is the bordering blocks do not respect the lock when used only the block the sign is directly attached to respects the lock.

    This was the only way I could get a reply box.

    So... It no longer allows the edges of the sign to activate the sign only the block it was placed on, and that block does respect the locks.

    Would have loved to see the edge blocks added to respect the locking structure, but you get what you get.

    Sorry meant that as technically fixed. If you are passing info maybe suggest binary adds for selected detection with blank defaulting to current settings. 1 = up, 2 = down, 4 = blah blah blah...add for multiple selections.

    Just a thought.

    The current fix provided is the final fix.
    Stated by the developer.
