How it works

The Personal Automation Designator works like the Automation Designator, with one difference: the blocks it marks wake only for you, and only while you are online. Personal designation set. Only you may activate magic here.

It forges onto any item that cannot be placed as a block, such as a stick. Use it for magic that should answer only to you, such as a private door or a personal Teleporter.

Only the player who marked a block can change its mark. Others hear This block holds another mage's designation; only its maker may change it.

See Automation for sensors and tips.

Configuration

These are the defaults in plugins/Runic/runes/personalautomationdesignator.yml. Every rune file also carries the shared settings described in Rune files.

Setting	Default	What it does
use-charges	true	true = finite charges, false = infinite charges
charges	1	Charges bound onto the designator. The pattern has no Tier blocks.
