Combat Tag - Bukkit

The essential PvP plugin that prevents hit-n-quit players. No longer will the fun of killing other players be ruined!

Combat tag is a plugin that can prevent your players from pvp logging, period.
Reason why we developed this:
When your players are in the heat of battle, sometimes someone gets cold feet, and logs out while in combat!
This means that the player can no longer be harmed, because they are offline.
This can be EXTREMELY irritating to other players, because the person they were attacking, is now safe and keeps all of their items.

How it works:
Combat tag makes it impossible to pvp log!
When a player is struck by another player, combat tag logs it in its log.
If one of the players logs off within 10 seconds (time can be changed) of being struck, combat tag comes to play.
Combat tag makes it so that if the player logs off within the ten second field, he spawns an NPC with the same inventory/health as him.
The player that was attacking then can attack the NPC, and the same is done to the logged off player.
If the player kills the NPC, the player that logged off in combat is also killed, and drops everything in their inventory.
If the player causes damage to the NPC, the player that is logged off also takes the damage (including armor).

Still loving this, however theres a small change you should do. I set block commands to all, however players are unable to use /ct to check how long the fight remains. Could you override /ct ?

I haven't added this. I feel it's not necessary to have the ability to color change everything.

How do I edit the colours on the messages? If I do & it shows it on the message, example &You are in combat, and also when I do $ it does the same, any help?

Are players able to attack each other or are they just getting tagged and the NPCs can be attacked and killed? It would also be appreciated if you made a ticket for this, as I can address it better and keep track of all the information.

Hey cheddar, you know I've been using this plugin since it was first created, so please take this comment seriously and don't think it's some random BS.

There is some glitch with the newest version of the plugin where it will allow some players to attack others in non-pvp areas (I am using the residence plugin). This MIGHT have something to do with simpleclans and it's friendlyfire rules with clans and whatnot, however I haven't updated simpleclans in a LONG time so nothing has changed there.

I took your plugin off of my server for a couple of days and the problem stopped. I thought okay maybe it was just a fluke. I put your plugin back on my server and once again SOME people can attack each other. Not everyone, only some. I don't understand what's going on, but PLEASE look into it, because I doubt I'm the only one with this problem.

If you're op, the plugin automatically gives you the ignore permission. Either test not as op or remove the permission for ops. As mentioned here:

There are currently four permission nodes:

Note: Ops automatically get permissions

combattag.ignore = Player does not get tagged and doesn't spawn npcs
