Loss on death

[Davron]

Im not sure if this was brought up but when you type /c away and your status goes away ... it would freeze yourself and your hp while your away untill you type /c back ..

Most of the time people alt+tab when away anyway but ye

It could be still used for those that do. MTA:VC has such a feature too. As an added advantage, those that don't pause would still be just as safe, and in the future if VC:MP decides to use the memory address MTA:VC recently used in it's update to keep the game processing even when paused, you won't have to worry about writing it later.

Theres a De-Sync function available in VCMP.
When a player is de-synced, he appears to be Alt-Tabbed.
The player is able to move around/shoot etc, but that happens only in his screen...for others he would just stand still.

This feature can be used in /c away.
But it can be abused during combat.

True. It's not worth it IMO

Can VC:MP detect when a player pauses or alt-tabs and when they come back? If so the system could auto-trigger.

Nope.

Shoot the guy.

If he doesnt die, he is probably Alt-Tabbed.
If he dies... "Sorry, was just checking."

Oh gawd, and you're developing our scripts? That scares me! D:
That means if I walk away to use the bathroom, I'll come back with my Fire Engine exploding into flames with an admin saying, "Hey SugarD! You AFK?" *BOOM!* xD

lol yea that could be annoying. And btw Sugar. If you do /c away and than you minmize the game to the desktop, nobody can kill you. Trust me, i'm a veteran player in VCMP.

Minimizing your game pauses it automatically, so you would freeze regardless because VC stops processing things, but as I said, VC:MP 0.4 may add a memory address that keeps it processing even when paused, hence my suggestion to add this anyway.

Minimizing VCMP... mm.. I love it as many have seen

Tho' to idea: Will it be constant 100% or you add some kind of RNG between known %?

[Denlow]

Will be players in the new version fully frozen?

I mean you can still kill them by going close and now shoot twice with a shotgun..

Ye, Freezing players doesnt work every time.
De-Sync is a better option. But it can be abused.

So, I dont think anything needs to be added in this regard.

Random value ranging from 15% to 65%.

About 0.4, we'll find out after it comes out
Of course the script will need a major revamp once 0.4 gets released.
But No-one knows the date....so we gotta work with what we have currently.

Anyone else has an opinion on "Protection for new players"?

maybe a little text based tutorial or something for them?
