Better Death Match Lightning

[screacher90]

Hey guys,
Screacher here and i have encounted a guess a sort of cheaty way on winning games on avaracicacacacaca, if you run out of spawn and up the stairs then up the middle staircase that is above spawn you can stay there, not get hit with lightning and is easy for people to push you off.
However, (getting to the point) i think the lightning should be able to hit a certain point but not go through the area underneath, eg: Avaracicacacaca's corn under the second storey. So what i mean is the lightning should hit a set point above/under spawn so then there isn't any cheaty cheats :3
I know it is probably imposibru to do this and make the lighting hit and stop somewhere but it still have the lightning hit somewhere but there is disadvantages :/
Or another thing would me more isolated spawns with no escape out of it but i think lightning would be cooler :3
Thanks for reading <3

I'd like that. I don't see why you have to run so far to get zapped by lightning (at the start, of course)

It can be configured to hit only above a certain point. They just set a height limit, and if anyone passes that limit then it considers them as outside of the DM arena, just like if they walked too far away. Also, the lightning targets the specific person, so it won't go through the floor unless they're under that floor.

But its sorta unfair i mean you could just run straight to the middle staircase (in deathmatch) and just camp at the top and hit people off. *sigh* Well i guess thats just strats.

Can a mod please lock this thread and remove it from the public as it is a known glitch. Please report this under the known bugs so this glitch is not used.

It's a suggestion.. -.-

It's not a glitch, it's just how the plugin was made.

Anyway, I really would like to see this implemented.

1: Its not a "glitch" its the way that the plugin is made
2:I was just suggesting that they should make it better
The devs do know about this but i was wondering if they would make an attempt to do something about it...

Btw, it's Avaricia*

Am I the only one who likes this and doesn't want it removed?

In addition to Avaricia, this gives you the option on maps like Vida Coda, Holiday Resort, Kharmunrah, and a few others for more ways to fight in deathmatch. I love it, as it suits me better to fight a team by going up/down rather than just staying in one place.

My lightning's better

Good suggestion, I'm sure it can be done. It might take a bit because they'd probably have to change it depending on each map but I'm sure it can be done.

setDamage()

Not the best at Java, but I'm pretty sure that it's possible.
