Cycle Limit (cycle_limit) #

Makes switching between inventory slots take time.

About #

Cycle Limit only depends on modlib. Code by Lars Mueller aka LMD or appguru(eu) and licensed under the MIT license.

Part of the Limit Series: item_limit, place_limit and cycle_limit

Features #

• When switching between inventory slots, the item you are switching to will be "hidden"
• A bar appears showing you the time left, and after it's over (or if you switch again) the hidden items reappear
• During switching you can only use your hand
• Hidden items are not lost if the server crashes
• cycle_limit priv allows evasion
• Alternative mode works by granting/removing interact
  • To prevent players from having interact, revoke both interact and interact_mods

Known issues:

• The item is temporarily removed from the inventory
  • Can't be circumvented because else get_wield_item would return item that is being switched to
  • Accordingly, it can't be seen
