Map types

[Slayer]

What are the exact specifics of map types. I know "safe" type disables targeting disabling combat. What is diffrent about "arena" and "normal"?

Safe you already know it.

Normal  - can kill players with % of players drop items.

Arena - can kill players but, without drop the player items.

 

So, even if your game have a % of player drop items on death, will not working on maps with arena atribute.

 

If im not mistaken.

Safe = By default players can pass through each other, players cannot attack each other.

Normal = By default players can not pass through each other, players can attack each other. If a player were to die they would drop their equipment.

Arena = By default players can not pass through each other, players can attack each other. If a player were to die they would not drop their equipment.

But apparently they DO drop their equips in Arena maps. That's what people are saying at least..

 

Seems like a bug and also, that system is in dire need of a rework. Just make it a checkbox:

 

1. Can pass through players

2. Can attack others

3. Drop items on death

 

 

That way everyone can set up a map how they want to

There is no room for such sound logic on this forum or in this engine. Take it elsewhere.

No not by default and that will depend of the config.json of the game. By default the engine have:

"Passability": {
    "Normal": false,
    "Safe": true,
    "Arena": false

 

That mean that the only way to move through other player is to set the maps as safe. If i'm not mistaken, normal is like safe (you can't kill player but can't walk through them) and arena let the possibility to the player to kill each other.

No, I can kill players in normal maps

Players can be killed on any but "safe", players drop loot(except bound items) on both "normal" and "arena" types, players are passable (by default) only on "safe". The only diffrence between "normal" and "arena" is if you set ones passability to true?

If this is the case, there should really be a second safe option as well.

Safe = Par défaut, les joueurs peuvent se croiser, les joueurs ne peuvent pas s’attaquer.

Normal = Par défaut, les joueurs ne peuvent pas se passer, les joueurs peuvent s’attaquer. Si un joueur mourait, il abandonnerait son équipement.

Arena = Par défaut, les joueurs ne peuvent pas se passer, les joueurs peuvent s’attaquer. Si un joueur mourait, il ne laisserait pas tomber son équipement.

 

so what you said is the right version of the system.

[Slayer]

I can confirm that the player drops items on both arena and normal map types
