configurable leash

[phillipharr1s]

the docs say summon damage radius is configurable, but looking in the code it seems to be removed. is this because of bugs or because people didn't want it?
someone mentioned that at wutang resort prisoners are rewarded with "vacations," at the moment i assume that means they get taken somewhere more interesting, but with configurable summon damage radius they could set the radius to the map size and let the prisoner do whatever he wants for a while.
this could be extremely useful in making the intended oppression/enslavement dynamic actually work. it's not like real life where you can motivate slaves with pain or death, there is no such thing in mc and if things get too unpleasant you can always log out and play on a different server.

re-added because on closer inspection twiggy's thing is acfually slightly different.

The range is supposed to be configurable. It was disabled after someone
claimed to have a exploit for it. That never materialized so we should
probably reenable it.

Was the "exploit" the fact you can have a friend hold your pearl while you raid, and use /ppreturn as an easy way out of trouble?

Also I guess the vacation thing doesn't work, because the lucky slave could just find someone to re-pearl and then free him.

No it was a long way before that. By the way what was the solution to that
one? I k ow it was coded and out online but I forget what it is.

ppreturn is disabled if the pearled player is combat tagged. that prevents people from being pearled by a partner, attacking someone and then getting /ppreturned if they're about to die. however, you can still do something like hack away at a vault then get /ppreturned when you see people coming on your radar.

Perhaps /ppreturn should simply be removed. If a slaveholder wants to send his slave back to the end he just kills him. That would fix any use of prison pearls as magical escape devices.

Meh the existing method works as designed. I have no issues with it other
than combat tag maintenance.

I mean if configurable leash and/or no-re-pearling are added.
