PvPManager Combat Mechanics

Combat Tagging

When a player attacks another player (or is attacked), they enter a 'Tagged' state. While tagged, players are restricted from performing certain actions to ensure the fight reaches a conclusion.

• Duration: Configurable timer (default is usually 10-20 seconds).
• Restrictions: Players cannot use prohibited commands (e.g., /tp, /home, /spawn) or fly while tagged.
• Visual Indicators: The plugin can display the remaining tag time via the Action Bar, Boss Bar, or chat messages.

Combat Logging

If a player leaves the server while tagged, they are considered to have 'Combat Logged.' The plugin can be configured to apply several punishments:

• Instant Kill: The player is killed immediately upon logout
• Inventory Drop: The player's items are dropped at their logout location
• NPC Spawning (Premium): An NPC is spawned in the player's place. If the NPC is killed, the player dies and loses their items when they next log in
• Money Penalty: Deducts a percentage or fixed amount of currency via Vault integration

Kill Abuse Prevention

To prevent players from farming kills, PvPManager tracks how many times a player kills the same victim. If a threshold is reached: * The killer may be kicked or banned. * The killer may stop receiving rewards/stats for kills on that specific player. * A command can be executed to punish the abuser.
