Combat Tag: Difference between revisions

'''Combat Tag''' is a mechanic commonly included on civ servers which prevents a player from logging out during combat without consequences. When a player isdamages hitor bytakes damage from another player, they are marked (as combat tagged) for some durationperiod of time. Any player that logs out while tagged will leave a vulnerable body behind for a period of time that can be attacked and, in particular, [[Exile Pearl|pearled]].

Whenever a player takes damages or takes damage from another player, they are marked as combat tagged for a period of time, usually around 30 seconds. If a player logs out while tagged, their body will remain on the server for a period of time, usually around 30 seconds. They can still take damage, be killed, and be pearled while in this state, just as if they were logged in.

When a player logs into the server, they are also usually automatically combat tagged for a short time, usually around 10 seconds.

Players can log out safely (without leaving their body behind) with the <code>/logout</code> command. This command requires athat shortthe durationplayer duringwait whicha theshort playerperiod cannotwithout movemoving or taketaking any other action, usually around 10 seconds.
