Bowshot Length Reporter

[LunariusFlare]

I've seen this on other servers, and it's pretty cool in my opinion. As far as I know, it's pretty easy to implement as well. (don't quote me on that)

So, for example, when you killed somebody with a bow, it would say how far the arrow travelled in the death message. For example, it could be like this:

Player1 shot Player2 from 32.5 blocks

How I (think) it could work:

1. When somebody shoots a bow, record their position.
2. When somebody gets hit with an arrow, record their position.
3. Check to see who killed who.
4. Subtract X coordinates, Y coordinates, and Z coordinates. Add them up to get the length of the shot.

I can elaborate if needed.

I mean, I guess it could be a neat thing, as long as it shows to the person that was shot and the person that shot the arrow only.
I can imagine all the spam with the bowspamming in OP mode.

Message would only show if its a kill shot, pretty sure I seen this on hypixel.
I don't really care too much for it though.

I personally would want this sort of thing to see how long my shots are. Others would probably like it.
Said that it would only show on death. But thanks for the feedback.

Yeah I like this idea, I have seen it on a different server but I think it would be cool. But it only showed it if you killed them.

 

[LunariusFlare]

Yes, I have stated 2 times it would only display when you kill them.

Well, I don't know if it will change the gameplay (lagg). If the server needs to put in every player his coördinations...I don't know what's going to happen.

I would like too see this added aswell as what health there were on after the shot, but these two ideas are from hypixel so I think it would be cool to have something along these line but not the same.

I don't really see the point of this

If they add what health they are on, they should probably also add health on melee hits.

It's so that you know how far away you were when you killed someone with a bow. It's fun to try and break your record of farthest shots!

I like this idea, it would be cool to see how far way some of your shots really were when you hit. It makes you feel like a frickin' magician when you snipe a moving enemy off a bridge or something fromwhat seems like miles away xD It'd be cool to see just how difficult the shot was to pull off.

It's basically just for bragging rights, but hey everyone likes a lil' competition, right? : P +1

 

[the_GJ_crafter]

Awesome idea!

But i think it will take much work.
Not much people will care about how far it is, so i think the work will be a waste of time.

If it isn't much work, it would be cool tho!

For everyone saying that it's pretty pointless, an alternative could be to show it in your stats in the lobby where it says how many kills you have etc it could say "Longest Shot: ____blocks" either ways, I really like this idea being someone who uses bows quite a lot.
