/setheight cooldown.

What's your Minecraft Username?: Zrle
What's the title of your suggestion?: /setheight cooldown.

What's your suggestion?:
I think that there should be a cooldown for /setheight, or like a max amount of times you can change it per day. Pretty simple in nature.

This is mainly to prevent abuse in changing hitbox, and abusing height differences (for example, playing with a plug-in, the experience will be different based on height, as being taller can help with kill blocking in VB whereas it might be harder to set low). Which are two points where there is perks for different heights.


EDIT: Alternatively, adding a rule to prevent misuse would achieve the same effect, and being a reportable action to change heights could be a great solution, as Hirathex, and others mentioned.


How will this benefit the server and community?:
As you can see in the image, there is different hitbox sizes, as well as I mentioned the height perks for different things in sports. I want to trust people, however I know it will get really easy to make a keybind to do /setheight 138 and /setheight 195.

Overall, having a cooldown of a substantial time will benefit the rest of the server and community to prevent abuse of it for gangRP, plug-ins, and just general lore continuity, while most likely being a RELATIVELY simple plug-in adjustment. (Granted I do not know how hard it is, but I imagine it wouldn't be astronomically difficult.)

As good as I reckon it'd be, given SRP's track record of having all the plugins break what feels like every second day - I'd much rather they just leave it alone until it has to be changed. Especially whilst it's working.

I have changed my opinion based on hira and tippie´s opinion. If they can find something to limit abuse Im all for it.

[ElLily]

+1 I feel like, if there is a cooldown for /setage, then there should also be one for /setheight.

I agree that there should be a cooldown or have some type of rule to where people can't change their height because of a crime situation

 

[frettrick]

+1. adding a cooldown is not going to break it

I’d rather it be moderated like /character is and established you can’t use it for a benefit (eg. you can’t abuse /char to TP to your weapons) instead of having a cooldown. I feel like it’d be annoying since /setheight is something you’re probably going to change multiple times before deciding on what you want

As a dev, this is true. Our systems are very complex, much more compared to the average SMP. We have to deal with gigabytes of data being stored, changes done by Minecraft, a development team with more than just me, lots of dependencies...

Saying you don't want a feature because "it will break" isn't really fair.

I'd like to think that everything is possible with the right tools and knowledge!

Changing height for specific RP situations like playing sports sounds like failRP to me. I fully agree with Hirathex, make it a rule instead of giving it a cooldown.

This makes sense sorry if what I said was taken the wrong way. The developers do a lot of great things for us.

When creating this I initially just thought, how to prevent abuse of the command, which to me was a cooldown. As hirathex and others mentioned a simple rule update could do the same thing. So I would agree that could be a better solution, and I edited my original post.

Either way, I believe there should be some prevention method to stop abuse of it. I do think though, that while some stuff breaks if it is touched, I don't think that is a good reason to not try something. Even if we haven't seen people abuse the command yet, without proper measures I expect people to shortly.
