Beginner's Luck (Spawn Protection)

1371900696

Provides basic spawn protection that is automatically given to players when they respawn or log in. By default, the mod simply prevents dinos from noticing you are around, but they will still attack if you attack them first. A config option is available for server owners to set the mod to prevent all damage, including environmental/fall damage.

The default protection time is 30 seconds, but this can be adjusted using good ol' config options!

The config options available for this mod are:
ProtectionTime (float) - default: 30.0 - how many seconds to protect the player for
PreventAllDamage (true/false) - default: false - whether or not to prevent all damage (environmental, fall, etc...)

To use these config settings, place them in GameUserSettings.ini under the "[BeginnersLuck]" section, like so:


Can't this be exploited?
Yep, absolutely!

Why did you name this "Beginner's Luck" instead of "Spawn Protection Turbo Ultra 5000X"?
I ask myself that every night.

Do you recommend using this on PvP servers?
I don't care what you do with it. But no.

Why did you make this?
Because I wanted to and couldn't find a similar mod already on the workshop. Granted, the search feature doesn't work well, but still.

Why does the ProtectionTime config option use a float instead of an integer?
Because.

Actually it's because I was considering changing the value to represent minutes, but figured seconds make more sense and didn't want to adjust the graph. Plus the function that uses this value wants a float anyway. But now you can set protection for 0.5 seconds! Neato!

Why doesn't the buff show the countdown?
Because changing the buff timer from a config setting doesn't seem to actually affect the visible timer, only how long the buff stays active. I'm doing nothing to hide it, it just doesn't show up.
