In this guide, we will explore how to significantly reduce unwanted player killings by implementing an IP blocking feature in the game's Lua scripting. This will enhance player interactions and provide a more enjoyable gaming experience.

Quest Implementation

We will create a quest that checks if players are killing each other based on their IP addresses. If two players share the same IP, a specific message will be displayed to discourage such actions.

1. Define the Quest

Below is the Lua script for the quest which triggers upon a player kill attempt:
