Currently updating vitals and saving players is all done at the same time for all players. Some code to change that.
Private Type TempPlayerRec
Add the following to the UDT
modServerLoop
Change your ServerLoop to the following:
modPlayer- JoinGame
Add the following before "End Sub"
modPlayer
Add the following sub
So when a player logs in they are set to their own timers. This really helps in saving, not all players being saved at once.
This also helps later on for more advanced features. I've added spell buffs and i use the OnUpdate sub to check if the buff duration is over.
Thoughts / Comments ? I think I'll modify this for a future version of MS. (Waiting on something from DFA before I start)
