Safe Res Context - no timers - skill control

SafeResContext by Xanthos

This code provides a way to make players invulnerable for a short time upon resurrection so they will not be killed immediately after. It also allows one or more skills to be disabled while players are invulnerable so they wont exploit their temporary safe status. Players stats are restored to full and the death robe is removed. If a player loses connection or logs out while invulnerable they are made mortal again.

This code is server friendly in that it adds no additional timers to the system. It relys on an already implemented periodically called method to make players vulnerable again once the time limit has been reached. This means that it may not be quite as precise as a Timer based res-kill protection feature, but it wont be far off and this is preferred to increasing server lag by adding additional timers.

This feature consists of two parts. A C# class file that is added to your custom folder, and a few lines of code that must be inserted into your PalyerMobile.cs (see PlayerMobileMods.txt).

You are free to use or modify this code in anyway you see fit. I ask that you leave the orginal header intact if you redistribute it in any way.

After Installation i get this error:
- Error: Scripts\Mobiles\PlayerMobile.cs: CS0117: (line 352, column 34) 'Xantho
s.SafeResContext' does not contain a definition for 'CheckTimer'.

Looks like I made a change in my PlayerMobile and forgot to merge it back into the text file. In playerMobile.cs change the line:

if ( null != m_SafeResContext ) m_SafeResContext.CheckTimer( this );	// <- Xanthos Safe Res change this line only

to

if ( null != m_SafeResContext ) m_SafeResContext.Check();	// <- Xanthos Safe Res change this line only

Sorry about that I will upload a new zip file now.

I fixed a couple of typos, set the player's hits/mana/stam to full and removed the deathrobe in this update.

thats easy to fix
just add something in OnLogin if AccessLevel == AccessLevel.Player Blessed = false;
that isnt exactly what you'd need to add but it should get you going in the right direction.

I have a couple ideas on a good fix for this - I will post an update soon.

Greystar, I feel that EventSink_Disconnected is the better place for this, since its is where the design context is handled - it seems to fit the same model as the safe rez context. I would rather catch the user on the way out of the shard than on the way in. Comments?

I was only offering a suggestion. It was where i had my check, since I have something that offers 2 minutes invuln so they can get back to there corpse and get their stuff... but your method would be fine. It is your script afterall.

I appreciate your feedback. I added the check to make the player mortal again if they log out or lose connection - version 1.3 above.
