You are meant to be invincible in the immediate region around the spawnpoint.
If this was a monster themed VMR week, then good for you for such a find! :D ;)

 

I thought you are unable to hit mobs within the protected 1000x1000 spawn area (potentially for that reason)?

 

I think that applies only for passive mobs. May be wrong.

 

Can't a flag be set to prevent users from hitting mobs within the spawn region of vmr?
I think this is what 314 said, not sure

 

interact deny

if ecc uses world guard for the spawn protection of course

 

Almost - I was actually saying "I believed this flag was already set".

Could be, I haven't had the time to test it.

 

*Generates time for 314*

And if it only applies to passive mobs then this really could be a potential exploit.

 

Can you please find the correct flags I need to set this, I'm swamped at this time and don't exactly know what the flags/issues are here.
Skimming through the thread I'm assuming you cannot hit passive mobs, but can hit hostile mobs, while invincible.

 

I checked the documentation... the only flag that matches is "damage-animals", which is described as "Whether players can harm friendly animals (cows, sheep, etc)". Apparently it is impossible to make hostile mobs invincible, probably to prevent a situation where a vulnerable player meets unkillable mobs.

I guess the easiest way would be to set the "mob-spawning" flag to false in the spawn area, therefore making all spawners in the protected zone useless (albeit at the cost of removing peaceful animals, unless "deny-spawn" is used for explicit blacklisting).

 

Ok, I've removed mob-spawning from spawn area.
