Archived Fixing Counter Attack Camping

[illogicalleaf314]

Counter attack camping: The act of holding your sword and blocking, to not lose pacifist and kill whoever is attacking you without even doing anything.

Counter attacking is a very important part of the sword skill, but honestly, the whole "Counterattack man" thing is just cheap.

My Suggestion: Counter attacks are only executed if the player is pacifist false. This way they are only part of a combat ability, and players cannot just camp and not worry about losing their stuff.

Kinda hypocritcal Illo? I remember you doing this on several occasions.

Don't whine, you tried to kill me while I was holding a sword. I didn't want to fight. It needs to be fixed, please take your attempts at flaming elsewhere.

Well maybe it's hypocritical and maybe it isn't, but that doesn't matter, because if this is approved he won't get the chance to be a hypocrite.(chuckle) I think that it is a good suggestion, and we should keep any opinions on what certain players do and don't do of out a thread like this because they are irrelevant. The idea should speak for itself, it doesn't matter who proposed it.

It's even cheaper when someone runs around killing people by simply having a sword in their hand. They don't even need to swing once.

Not sure if its possible, ill look into the mcmmo source later. Is there a open souce plugin used for pacifist or is that custom?

Pacifist is part of premium I'm fairly sure. You'd have to ask Cay.

Yeah, but of course, that's the easy part. Not sure if mcmmo has some way to cancel the counterattack from code.

Cay has to redo every plugin to make it compatible with sharding. You could just modify the original mcmmo source.

Instead would it be possible to make it like thorns armor? I mean Thorns armor makes pacifist false.

All damage should have a "damage source", if the damage source is a player it says "player1 was slain by player2". Since counters just say "player2 died" I would assume that no damage source is specified.

When killed by thorns armor it says something specific but I can't remember I'd get someone to test it if I had time.

"player1 died trying to hurt player 2"

Cayorion beliefs that you should ask the makers of MCMMO first, if they refuse to cooperate, then we shall review this suggestion.
