Code Tombstone

[SweeTs]

So, the tombstones would have to stay there for X time, which could be a "problem" on mass pvp - else, you set it only for certain zone, but still :P

It would be cool for events though.

[Tessa]

That's crazy :D

 

Also make a npc instance for the tombstone that will say information about death time, who killed him, resurrection options etc :P

Definitely a cool idea... :lol:

[SweeTs]

Yes, for events could be. Or another idea which we created with roko :D

 

Tombstone spawns for 10 sec, you have a chance to speak to the npc and "steal the drop". You have X chance to steal random item from dead player :)

 

I did like that for my clan zone/instance :P

Also forcing the player to wait 10 seconds before RequestRestartPoint may prevent any unwanted spawn/despawn issues :lol:

[SweeTs]

Issues like? Since, I don't rly think that there could be any serious issue :>

 

Or it's rly late and my brain doesn't work as should :D

 

 

The only thing that comes to my head is, "the dead" player will talk to his own grave, lol :D

Or we can simply check if dead player instance has Tombstone spawned and handle the case  :)

We can handle that too by adding check if dead player instance is the same as stealer instance :)

I mean if the player press To Village immediately, the npc will stay :lol:

Ofc, will stay. It's meant to stay. But won't disappear, so well, nothing unwanted. The npc is scheduled to despawn right after its spawn and it's 'connected' to the player, so he can go to village :)

 

I guess.. since I didn't checked it deeply :D

Oh now I get it... Well you got a point :)

I think she mean that you don't suppose to steal from that far :D

I'm trying to imagine all the cases, the "issue" wasn't the right word :lol:

What about the revive?

[roko91]

Your approach is right - it's better to disable all unwanted actions for the dead player until Tombstone despawn.

If I'm doing it, I will associate the spawn task with the player's isDead status... when the player dies - the npc is spawned, when the player is revived or press To Village - the npc is immediately despawned.

In your case, I think it will be better to force the player to wait sometime before is being restarted... but if it's revived, the npc should immediately disappear.

 

I think it will be better along with "steal the drop" ^_^

That was exactly what I had in mind :)
