Rust - Arena Plugin Setup Guide

Introduction

This tutorial provides a comprehensive guide to setting up the Arena plugin in Rust, along with essential supporting plugins like Zone Manager, Building Wrapper, and Spawns Database. Follow these steps to create engaging arena events for PvP gameplay.

Step 1: Create Your Arena

• Start by designing the layout of your arena in Rust.
• Ensure that the arena is built with clear boundaries and adequate space for players to engage.
• If you're planning multiple arenas, note down the Zone IDs and corresponding spawn locations for easy reference later.

Step 2: Create a Zone in the Arena

• Use the Zone Manager to define the arena boundaries.
• Execute the following command to add a new zone:

  /zone_add [name]
  

• Replace [name] with a suitable identifier for your arena.

Step 3: Edit the Zone as Needed

• Modify the zone settings if necessary by using:

  /zone_edit [ID]
  

• Replace [ID] with the zone ID you wish to edit.

Step 4: Set Zone Flags

• Configure the zone flags to define gameplay rules:

  /zone_flags
  

• This command allows you to specify attributes like whether PvP is enabled.

Step 5: Use the Building Wrapper

• If applicable, use the Building Wrapper to enhance your arena’s structure.
• Wrap the designated area using:

  /bw wrap [ID] box
  

• Replace [ID] with the corresponding zone ID.

Step 6: Create Spawn Points

• Establish spawn points for players within the arena.
• Start by creating a new spawn:

  /spawns new
  

• Add specific spawn locations:

  /spawns add
  

• Save the spawn configuration:

  /spawns save [name]
  

• Use a clear naming convention for easy management, such as "A1 - Spawn Locations."

Step 7: Create an Arena Event

• Finalize your arena setup by creating an event:

  /create Arena
  

• Ensure that you have prepared Kits for your arena events as some events may require multiple kits.
