Luckperms: Meta weight inheritance issues [Potentially a feature request?]

[DrZoddiak]

So let's say there's 2 groups
helper & officer

default, has an option set of "home-count 5", and a group weight of 0
helper inherits from default, and the group has a weight of 30
officer has an option set of "home-count 10", and the group has a weight of 15

User dino has both helper and officer, but the player gets 5 homes because helper's weight is higher, despite inheriting the option from default, a lower weighted group.

I don't particularly want officer to be weighted higher since helper is a staff position, and I don't want certain permissions to be weighted incorrectly by making that change.

I did attempt to try setting meta.home-count.1 false for helper and in officer as per recommendation from Turbotailz to someone else around March 9th, but that didn't seem to have an effect.

If there's a way to prioritize metas in groups that have higher weights over groups that don't I think that would make for a great configuration setting.
i.e Allowing the Group of weight 15, to take precedent over the group of weight 30 when the meta from weight 30 comes from a weight 0 group.

If that makes sense, I'm finding it difficult to articulate this cleanly.

Set the officer group as the primary group of a user using the switchprimarygroup command.
This should - to my knowledge - fix your problem.

Alternatively should it be possible to just make default the parent of officer too, and since it has a own permission + higher priority than default should it override the permission... Don't quote me on this one tho.

I attempted to set it as my primary group, but I believe with the current setting "parents-by-weight" that actually doesn't matter, suffice to say, it didn't work.

I then tried adding my default group to officer as it's parent, and that also did not work.

home-count of 1 from default (inherited by helper)
home-count of 5 from officer
Still resulting in home count of 1.

Image of the issue for those who are better grasping things visually than textually
Edit: the names and weights are different from the original post, but the concept is the same.

In this issue case I think parents-by-weight may be acting like all-parents-by-weight.

Added this config section which should allow you to achieve what you want. :)
