Passive Protection

[xsilversagex]

Plugin to protect Dino's on the "Passive" stance from damage, Obviously it needs some fails safes to stop abuse (immune vaults)

Plugin should Detect dino's on the passive stance with no rider, And apply protection after they have been Passive for 5mins (Configurable time)
Protection will remove if dino is mounted, Stance change or made follow.
Dino's with inventory items should not be made protected, To stop Immune vault abuse.
Option to always Protect Baby dino's
Protection should not enable if in range of enemy structures.

I would like this as well, that is something that many would appreciate!

the hard factor is to know if your by the enemy's base or he just built something by yours (maybe structures have a timestamp when they were placed but yeah that would be addition work on the server to check if each dino is by a enemy structure) i can think of a lot of ways to abuse it, Might look into it in the future it is a good idea for sure

Can that issue be avoided by taping into arks current " Can not place, in range of enemy foundation" function, If you can find that range..then knock it back a few M, As no enemy is going to be able to build closer to your base than arks enemy structure range anyway, So it would almost be guaranteed your dino is at an enemy base, rather then a enemy structure at your base.....if that makes sense

Probably the biggest abuse i can think of is People whipping Protected dino's onto platform saddles then whipping them off into peoples bases to drain turrets, So you would need some kind of protection for this maybe:
1.) If dino moves X distance protection breaks/
2.) Protection breaks if placed on platform saddle or picked by a dino
3,) Protected dino's not target-able by turrets, This would need further protection , Unable to place c4 on protected dino.

I think the remove protection if the dino moves is the best option.

that seems like a better solution checking if the dino changed position instead of checking if its next to a enemy's base then if it gets damaged by a enemy put a cooldown on the protection (while not actually under protection)

 

[Foppa]

or if the plugin can count how many structures there is. like there is more of your own structures than the enemies then you have protection.

This would be an amazing plugin.

why...That's an outdated, Abandoned mod with multiple issues that causes server lag....i used to use it...

Yeah, the quality is quite bad on that mod. I have experienced the same issues. And really don't want this to be a mod. This should be build-in the game and 100% server feature.

Problem I can see with something like this is someone putting passive dinos on a flyer with a platform saddle and loading it with C4 and dropping it into the enemy base. That would bypass the enemy structure stuff for sure right?

Well if they get to close to enemies area the amount of enemies structures are more so the passive protection should be disabled then.
But maybe more options are good as well.

- Check if Dino has items attached such as C4

This would require a crap ton of measures/coding to assure no abusing,

this could be a big nice tool for the servers, because the actual mod is outdated, and have some problems. The author give the code sometime ago, i let you it here maybe could be usefull.

haha thanks but we make mods in pure c++ and not using ark dev kit or not using blueprints but i believe Michidu might be working on some protection if not i might make it a part of safezone as noob passive protection but yeah i know how it can be abused by alts so a buff is better than protection

And other importan option will be

Limitofdinosprotected=Value.

+1

 

[Letolter]

Limitofdinosprotected=Value.

Wow! I thought can add one more suggestion to this, but youre good

So yes, If that able a protected dino limitation / tribe could be usefull.
And one more thing:
Class specified blacklist/whitelist protection.
