Stuck with no guides to help.

Then after a guide gets on, he wont summon me but will summon others from the same spot.

Added after 6 minutes:

Another player comes along and kills me while Im stuck, the GM refuses to summon me. But when the other player asks for a summon he does it.

And they delete my other thread on being stuck.

I will post screenshots soon.

Greetings MrDDT,

Seems there is some clarification needed here...

You attacked a player who backed off into the safety of there tribe area, you followed and found your self stuck in their terraformed moat.
Since you were left helpless and unable to defend your self, you were offered a Summon to help you get out of the stuck spot as all players are.
Unfortunately you died quicker than a summon command could be issued.
Unfortunately a summon command can not be used on a dead character.
Once you had respawned, we offered you a summon.

In the meantime another player got stuck in the same exact spot. we offered to help unstick said player, but that player said no, and that they would unstick themselves somehow.

There was no mistreatment.

Its a government cover up operation.

it's because you're so mean. if you just held hands and watched the sun set while knitting a sweater in your mud hut...well then you'd get a summon. geez.

What a waste of time, making a moat, when attackers get stuck in it the guides summon them out.

Ok, so you talking about how its ok for people to make moats to get people stuck that cant move and attack them while they are stuck isnt a factor?

I never got a summon, any of the 3 times I asked.
One time I even had to wait an hour to get even offered one. (That post was deleted).

If this is a valid tactic I will be using this all over the map.

Shadows Im cool with a moat, Im not cool with being stuck standing still unable to even rest or leave the moat the way you came in. Clearly there is an issue here.

The part of the moat the player was stuck in, was in such a way that locked up this players character. And was also not able to use the /unstuck command.

No worries. I will make my own "moats" and I will be friend people.

Really need to figure out an algorithm to fix those terrain "spikes" and acute corners that occur on slopes. Unless you level every part of the bottom of a trench (and even then sometimes) you will get little dips and tucks that drop your character into falling mode and you can't get out.

*edit* And yeah, karma's a bitch :)

there is some geometry you can 'utilize' when raising and lowering terrain in a certain fashion that creates some mini crevasses...which when you fall in your char shakes violently and you are, in some cases seen as 'moving' and thus can't stuck out of...and since you're wedged in this crevasse, you can move out of it.

now you be real mean, you build your moat, you make it so you are unable to stuck out except for a certain spot (...you cant stuck through some objects...)...and when you stuck out of that spot, you teleport into another hole, which you then have to wait on an unstuck timer, which teleports you into another hole, etc. etc. etc. :)

remove unstuck and make a suicide command.

if you don't want to be stuck in my hole forever, thanks for your stuff.

you can use the unstuck, u just have to wait for the unstuck timer to reset after you attack some one... just as if you had tryed to use 2 unstuck commands in a row... its just a timer.

That's a great idea, unless it moves you to another stuck location 3 times in a row.


I was stuck over 9 times last night from 2 locations. Meaning, I got stuck 3 times, and did 9 unstucks between 3 times being stuck.

I always tell players to face the way they want to go when using unstuck command.Unstuck command jumps you the way you're facing at that moment.

I hope it helps

Thanks for the info, but there are range issues.

As Dub said, there are some instances when /unstuck doesn't work because your character... is still "moving" (vibrating?) and you can't actually move anywhere. You have to be doing it on purpose or terrible at terraforming to get that though.
