(Combat status request)

[darkkriteus]

It would be possible to add a combat status addon to the Kit, as exists in some mmorpgs, when the player enters a fight against an NPC or player he is in combat status, and cannot log out or initiate a trade, until the combat status end

and in the combat state the animation would also change to an idle combat animation I could add to gameRules something like the time the player will spend in combat after attacking an NPC

I might implement it

I hope so, thank you very much, I think this can help some projects without affecting others..

I was browsing through the open issues and saw this. I've written out a list of what would be required. It's a cool idea, but sounds like a lot of work. Up to you Ittipon. :)

Here's the list:

1. Actions Requiring Out-of-Combat Status

• Mounting: You cannot summon or ride mounts.
• Eating or Drinking: Regenerative food and drinks (used to recover health and mana) cannot be consumed.
• Using Non-Combat Healing Items: Some food or potions designed for out-of-combat use won't function.
• Changing Talents or Specializations: Talent trees and spec swapping are locked. Same with assigning perk points.
• Switching Equipment Sets: You cannot switch weapon sets or manually change gear (from hotbar or from inventory). Cannot unequip armour or items.
• Teleportation Items: Most items that allow teleportation (e.g., abilities) are disabled until out of combat.
• Using Toy Items: Most non-combat-related toys cannot be activated.
• Crafting and Gathering: Cutting tress or mining.

Add bools to gameplay rule so people can choose whether to toggle on or off.

2. Social or Interface Actions

• Logging Out: Exiting the game is blocked while in combat. If players ALT+F4 then character remains in-game. The player may log back in to find the character is dead.
• Leaving a Group or Raid: You cannot leave your group, raid, or dungeon (aka be teleported away from instance).
• Opening Certain Menus: Some UI elements like Guild, PvP, or Dungeon Finder windows may not be accessible. Optional toggle bool.
• Interacting with Some NPCs: Many NPCs, such as vendors or quest givers, will not interact with you if you are in combat.

3. Travel and Location-Specific Actions

• Entering Dungeons/Raids: Dungeon entrances are inaccessible (warp portals).
• Using Some World Teleporters: Transporters or portals often won't work if you're in combat.

4. Special Gameplay Restrictions

• Looting Enemies: Cannot loot / open corpse looting when in-combat.
• Respawning: You cannot respawn immediately while flagged as "in combat." Must wait, even when dead, to be flagged as "out of combat".
• Using Some Buffs or Consumables: Consumables designed for pre-combat buffs may not be usable. Potion items, with scriptable object bool "cannot use whilst in combat".

Add bools to gameplay rule so people can choose whether to toggle on or off.

Exceptions and Notes

• Some abilities should allow you to drop combat, enabling these actions afterward. For example an ability with a 30 minute cooldown that, when activated, removes "in-combat" flag.

5. Character Interaction Restrictions

• Trading with Other Players: You cannot initiate or complete trades while in combat.
• Opening Mail: The in-game mailbox is inaccessible during combat.
• Inviting Players to a Group: New invitations to or from a group are blocked.

Too much O_O

Please create separated posts for each requests, but I am not confirm that I will going to work on any of them, if I got nothing.

[BJPickles]

Yeah, it's basically a whole system rewrite (nor suggesting you should)

Okay, simple just don't do it then
