Safe Spawn

[Ethentianknight]

When starting a server, it would be useful to have the spawn sector be free of pirates and have pvp/ collision damage in that sector disabled.

Without going too far into detail, is this possible in the demo via script gymnastics?

[koonschi]

Free of pirates yes, free of damage no. You'll have to modify the start sector script as well as some player scripts so they won't spawn enemies.

For pirates just open

data/scripts/startsector.lua

find line

    Sector():addScript("data/scripts/sector/events.lua", "events/pirateattack.lua")

change to

    Sector():addScript("data/scripts/sector/events.lua")

And it should work.

 

For ayy lmaos

in data/scripts/player/attack.lua

    if Server().difficulty == Difficulty.Insane then
        updateSuperAction()
    else
        updateNormal()
    end

change to

    if Server().difficulty == Difficulty.Insane then
        updateSuperAction()
    else
	local x,y = Sector():getCoordinates()
	if x ~= -139 or y ~= 427 then
		updateNormal()
	end
    end

Note that you will need to change -139 and 427 to your home sector coordinates.
