Hi everybody
So my friend and I are playing on our local server hosted from one of our computers and we have the issue that we cannot enter the trader. Everytime we get close we get teleported a few blocks away?
Do we need to unlock the trader or is there another issue?
Thanks in advance for the help
Traders are closed between 21:55 and 6:05. If they should be open and they are not, the trader may have glitched and died. this happens sometimes on our vanilla MP servers, when there is an LCB in the same chunk as the trader. (chunks are lik 500x500 areas.)
There is a temporary fix for the traders. YOU WILL NEED ADMIN POWERS
first option just reset the trader, this one doesnt always work: open the command console with f1 and type in: traderarea
this should boot anyone out of the trader complex, it will close the doors and should reset the trader for the next morning.
If that does not work you can do the following steps:
1. Stand about 10 blocks away from the trader compound, open the command console and type in: se yourscreenname(or id) 89
Example: se purgatorywolf 89
SE is Spawn entity, and 89 is the code for Trader Hugh. Joel is 85, Rekt 86, Bob 87, Jim 88 use whichever you want.
if you have a space in your name you will need to use your game id. if you dont know you game ID use the LE (list entities) command to see your id.
2. Next you will do LE to get the newly spawned traders ID.
3. sink into the ground with god mode enter the complex and type: Telee tradersid yourname
example: Telee 850396 purgatorywolf
this will teleport the trader to you. You have to sink into the ground with no more then your chest above ground or you will be teleported out of the complex. Once the trader is teleported to you, you can walk around in the complex freely, and place him where ever you need to put him.
---- note: if you are unable to sink into the ground / dont have permissions for it, you can just teleport him into the complex: Telee traderid coords
example: Telee 594039 -2460 90 4860
this would put the trader at 2460 West, 4860 north, and 90 blocks above bedrock. you can do a /loc to get quick co-ords for where you are standing and adjust them as needed to teleport him.
You will not be able to enter the complex until the trader is inside. once you have him inside the walls, you shouldnt get teleported out anymore.
4. once you have the trader where you need him, use the consol and type: traderarea
I find doing this last step helps to lock him into place. when i forget to do this last step, the trader tends to bug out sooner then when I dont'.

Hope this helps.
