Guaranteed Minimum Time: clarify that static timer should not be invoked if player has recently been caught.
Line 38: Line 38:
This method builds upon the current implementation by adding a [[Stendhal_Hell_Timer#Terminology|static timer]] that guarantees the player will be able to persist in hell for at least a specified amount of time. Once the minimum time expires the current timer implementation is triggered of which the duration is random, after which the player is teleported to the pit.

In order to prevent abuse of the minimum time period the new timer must only be triggered by entering hell via the designated portals. If a player logs out and back in while on the hell map, the minimum guaranteed time must be bypassed and trigger instead the random duration timer (as is done currently).
