Suggestion Snowball Arena

[j2gay]

I think It might be fun to have a snowball fight arena. You could sign in like the skirmish, instead of weapons and armor you receive a full inventory of snowballs. Have them do like 10dmg each and provide a maze of hiding places. I think it would be a blast.

Erm, for snowballs to work, PvP has to be ON. Which means anyone can use Heroes skills with keybinds.

If it did 10 HP then that would be unfair for a wizard fighting a DK, I suggest it take away percents of HP.

I think it could be done. It would require special perms already to allow snowballs to do damage.

That's fine too, though it is mostly an idea to just have fun and give a limit. I would be fine with just a time limit or a time limit with a hit counter.

I have played in a snowball arena before and just so you know, it causes endless lag. Fair warning

Find a decent plugin and we'll consider it

 

[j2gay]

Did a search on the bukkit site. Didn't find any plugins that included an arena. Did find a few that allowed for snowballs to do damage. I do not however find myself as qualified to judge the quality of a plugin as I know diddles about programing.

The concern we would have with those is they globally add snowball damage, which we don't want. It needs to be able to be reduced to a local size, say as a region flag.

The closest thing to being useful would be Snowballer, but it just assigns a permission node, and as far as I know you can't limit them by region unless you make a new layer a-la the PvP-off zone and apply it for Snowball-On. Am I right about this Kainzo Sleaker ?

Also, players would need to supply their own snowballs/buy them from a DHX shop as there would be no automated arena system unless we coded it, which wouldn't be a high priority atm.

Thay don't have to supply snowballs if you borrow some skirmish code. Instead of giving them weapons, give them snowballs.

^ That or make the DHX shop sell them for extremely cheap.

Snowballs can hit people, even in No-PvP. This still could work.

Do the snowballs degrade your armor if they are thrown at you in no pvp?

Yes.
