It shouldn't teleport them right into the trade building, because then that would negate the point of having the building in the first place. All someone would have to do, would be to teleport in, in the middle of a trade, and they end up grabbing the item. Now if they were to spawn outside of the building, then that would be really useful.

 

+1

Also, what about something like this, but it does require pistons..... Watch the vid and see what you think :)

This would be more complicated, but safer than anything, because nothing can be stolen.

 

That seems like a really good idea, but I doubt that pistons will be added back into the server since they cause lag, and the fact that people can auto farm/harvest with them.

 

In theory the building is supposed to have individual rooms for users to trade in, I was suggesting that the /auction teleport players into the auction area but not into the rooms where players trade.

 

I see, I see

 

would not need rooms if we had this http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/iauction/
it allows you to start a auction then when its over the item that was for auction goes to who one so there is not trading needed

just watch the video they have

 

Make the place like this then

WWWWWW
WCPOOOW
WOOOOOW
WWWWOW
WOOOOOW
WDWWWW

W means wall
C means chest
P means pressue plate
O is air
D is door

 

I made a prototype of this in my creative mode. I tested this out and it works perfectly with me and my friend trading as no one can get in. However, one problem occurs:
Someone just staying in the room not unlocking the doors for anyone else. If he is banned the door will still be shut making us have to wait until a mod or someone with perms places a lever on the outside and opens the door.

Overall. I +1 this idea, I hope andrewkm looks at this.

 

This isn't a problem on this design. The door would be public locked by Andrew and redstone flag turned off so it works with the pressure plate.

 

I think its a good idea to help the builders.

 

Great idea! It's easy to build, it's safer to conduct trades, and it doesn't take that much space. Plus, I'm really tired of having people follow me while I'm trading with somebody or having my items stolen...+1!
