hm.. im kinda conflicted.
I mean if we're going to go put something like this in we might as well go all the way and replicate eq live's system.
Yet the client doesn't support the window that tells us if we're resting or not.. at least not titanium or 6.2, anniv does but it currently is not fully functional by any means.. it's something we could put in that's on EQ live just not on the clients we support atm... I tend to lean toward adding it however because if we don't have it we aren't replicating EQlive gameplay.
From what I remember there were a couple different combat states that determined how you regenerated mana and health.
Code:
enum CombatState {
csInCombat,
csRecovering,
csRestingButConflicted,
csResting
};
Clearly in combat, you're fighting.
Recovering is the period from when you leave combat to when you can enter resting... I believe it varies depending on either the zone you're in or the mob you left combat with. I know at the lower levels it's pretty short, 5-10 seconds at most.
You can be in Resting but if you're conflicted (Have a detrimental spell on you) you will not be able to take advantage of the effects of Resting.
Once you're resting so long as you stay you regen health, mana and endurance at a much faster rate than normal and never any slower than your in combat sitting regeneration.
Wouldn't be much to work our really. Hardest part would be the transition from in combat to resting with the timers and that wouldn't be hard at all!
