Instant resurrection

[BetterToAutomateTheWorld]

Many players usebug with the resurrection formspec and click very fast on the resurrect button to resurrect instantly where they was dead before, it's maybe a core usebug BUT, maybe we can reduce its impact :

• Add a timer to the resurrect formspec
• Remove the formspec and force the player to wait 5/10sec before an automatic resurrection
• Any other ideas ?

Some say you just need to keep pushing forward button to respawn at the same place you died. Personnaly I don't think it works, so if it's only lag, I agree with those proposals :)

+1 A short timer sounds good.

[ObaniGemini]

And when timer is over, click on "respawn now"

On some older version of minetest, dying while pushing space bar would always respawn you where you died.
By the way we have no control over the respawn formspec, it's a builtin feature. Yet, we may create a mod that register a player's position whenever they die, and where they respawn, and check. But that's just another mod, and it's too much for just some respawn bug due to lag.

Does this still work on 0.4.13 ?

[Lymkwi]

Apparently it's even worse in 0.4.13 and you only need to be moving (ie. sinking) to trigger it.

Can we close this issue ?

[BetterToAutomateTheWorld]

We can't close an issue without a solution.

[Lymkwi]

without a solution.

We don't have any; we don't have the power to. The only person who have the power to solve that are the developpers. This problem is part of a bigger problem that is anticipation of both sides (server and client) in the game; and that won't be fixed soon.

@Crabman77 Can you inform us about your progress in this issue ?

[ghost]

We can't do anything more, because of the engine...

Linked to minetest/minetest#3664

Closed in our issues tracker because it's now posted on Minetest issues.

[ghost]

fixed soon, we must use minetest.register_on_dieplayer instead of minetest.register_on_respawnplayer in bed mod, player is teleported instantly on dead.

old fix can be removed.
