Start Protection is a simple plugin that gives new users a certain amount of time to play without stressing about being killed by other players, it also prevents them from attacking other players. Players can still be killed by the environment, animals and self-inflicted injuries or turrets, bots. Only PvP is disabled, so player base still could be raided.
Rust is full of griefers, I often read server logs and see several players rage-quit after only playing a few minutes after being gunned down by other players. This gives them a chance to move around a little and set up shop.
A protected player can’t loot as follows:
- heli crates
- airdrop
- other players (but if they are friends – can)
- corpses (only own)
- dropped containers, backpacks
- not owned deployables (if are friends – can)
Damage to anything
Also note that damage to corpses, other players, doors, buildings, external walls, storages, and other deployables not owned will be punished. Punishment time is “600” by default, which corresponds to 10 minutes. This is the time that will be revoked if the player tries to PvP while in SP mode.
Raid Zones
When a protected player enters a Raid Zone – he will lose his protection in the displayed time (seconds). The effect will also be showing everyone he hasn’t any protection now.
