Hi guys. I'm currently playing on a PvP server and we're having one big problem. Many players just disconnect when someone attacks them. Is there a plugin which removes the player from the world 25 seconds after his disconnect or something like this? This would be really useful.
What about a disconnect cooldown? after being hit they have to wait 10 or so seconds to be able to leave
Yeah, that would also work. But then again this would need a plugin to let their player stay on the server for 10 seconds if they disconnect.
And how would you do that? You can't really proof if someone disconnected within 10 seconds after he took damage.
If it's possible to block the disconnect button, people can still click X... Btw, if someone disconnects by an error (such as closing the window), can you still hit him then?
I had a look into this and there is no way to stop a person from leaving. I have another idea though; you could have it that if a person takes damage and then disconnects, they can't rejoin for a set amount of time?
My server has this problem also. Most players just leave a pool of lava on their disconnect location, but then they fail to get that persons inventory. Simple Solution 1: 1. Is it possible to determine if a player is taking damage from another player rather than a natural source like a fall? 2. If it is possible, a plugin will flag this player as "under attack" for X amount of time. 3. If under attack = true & the player loses connection (for any reason, disconnect or program close), they are killed and their inventory drops at that location. 4. This could potentially create a few false positives when a player's client crashes during a fight... but for the most part would work. Simple Solution 2: 1. Use the "under attack" flag as mentioned above. 2. Instead of killing the player after connection loss, add "1 point" to their "fight dodger" status. 3. Players with a dodger rating of a certain level would receive a penalty of some kind, like half health max until their status is reset from death or by getting a kill.
I will be adding a feature to my plugin PvPReward, which causes the player who disconnected while in combat to drop all their items and lose some money
That's cool, thanks for your answers. However we don't want to use some money system, so I'd be highly delighted if someone could try and create a plugin which kills the player if he disconnects during a fight.
Unless you are somehow able to force the server to keep the character in game and attackable for x seconds after disconnecting or otherwise losing connection, I don't see how these plugins could work very well.

I'd like to resurrect this thread. Has anything happened in the last six months re: a plugin to make player inventories drop upon disconnection?
I stumbled upon this today. It does the drop, apparently, but I think it needs to be updated. Is the "1000" the version of craftbukkit it's meant to be used with?
Someone once posted a pull request which does this think. If someone disconnects, a "ghost" of him will stay for a while, and if slayn: Poof! Diamondez =D But I can't find it right now, I think it might have been removed.
You may not need this info anymore, because this thread is old, but a plugin that does what you are after, is called combattag. Just search for it in the bukkit plugin list. @p.ndsl http://www.ausmc.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=274 I am familiar with this server, and they have a lot of great plugins which they keep private to their server because they code them themselves. I would really want some of theirs, and i love their plugin ideas, but its quite hard to because they don't give their plugins out to others.
That's pretty close to what I'm after. Will check it out. But ideally the inventory needs to drop always, regardless of the method of disconnection.
