When clients crash.

[Speed Lightning]

I've noticed that anyone who logs out automatically becomes a spectator, without giving them time to log back in. This is a problem for people with clients that crash. I propose a fix to this.

If a player logs out, they should be given one minute to log back in before they automatically drop their inventory and become a spectator.
If a player logs out in combat, they should immediately drop their inventory and become a spectator.

I think it should be more like 30 seconds but I agree.
I don't think there is a way of doing your combat suggestion, but there has already been a post with some plugin suggestions for it.

Good idea, I like the 30-60 second idea.

It's a good idea, would be a little complicated I think. They would need to have a timer system in for you to not become a spectator instantly. They would also need to make it so people cannot join while your still in that time period, since right now once someone leaves, someone joins almost immediately. But I do like the idea.

i can definately see the benefits of this feature but think of the abuse this would get. You're being chased, you run to the top of a building in map 2 and jump, then quickly log out and back in. From what plug-ins i've seen associated with safely allowing a re-log you would survive the fall and be able to sprint off leaving the poor Im insulting someones family and I should feel bad behind... correct me if this is untrue but this is what i would expect to see happening...

There are servers that have a plugin that kills you if you pvp log. It will say that the last person to hit you in 30 seconds killed you. They can probably build off of one of those plugins.

I think that it should be 30 seconds and should also apply to spectators its possible to do the combat thing but kinda hard

It would be a lot more complicated than it seems because eventually SOMEONE is going to go around abusing it somehow.
It would be nice to have, as getting dc'd in the middle of matches is insanely frustrating when you're doing well, but it seems like it would cause more problems than it's worth.

We can counter it by using a system that saves the player's last block stood on before logout, then calculates that to where they land, whether or not they logged to avoid the damage.
