UltimateKoth event management#

A production KOTH is a combination of region + capture rules + event lifetime + rewards + presentation + automation. Treat those as separate layers when editing.

Event lifecycle#

1. KOTH is configured and stopped.
2. Manual command, starter item or scheduler starts it.
3. Players enter the region and the plugin selects/updates the controlling participant/group.
4. Contesting changes capture state according to the event mode/rules.
5. Capture completes or maximum time ends the event.
6. Winner commands/loot/statistics are applied.
7. Scoreboard/hologram/runtime tasks are cleaned or returned to idle state.

Editing safely#

Use /ukoth view <name> before and after changes. Change one subsystem at a time: region/center, capture, proximity, maxtime, commands, loot, keys, hologram, scheduler.

Manual stop#

Use /ukoth stop when testing failure recovery. After a forced stop, verify the event is no longer reported by /koth events, the controlling player/group is cleared, scoreboard state is restored and future scheduled starts are still possible.
