SCUM Easy AdminLogout timer
Seconds the character remains in the world after logging out.
scum.LogoutTimer=60.000000
What does this setting do?
On logout the character does not vanish immediately but stays visible and vulnerable for this long. The default is 60 seconds.
The reason is simple: without this delay, logging out would be the best defence in the game. Anyone losing a firefight could just quit and be safe. The minute ensures a fight that starts also finishes.
For players the value is inconvenient because it is real waiting time. That is why it is often shorter on PvE servers — there is hardly anyone there to escape from by logging out.
Which value suits my server?
15 to 30. A short wait suffices.
60 (default).
60 to 120.
What to watch out for
Below ten seconds everyone who loses escapes. Fights are then undecidable and attackers lose interest.
Players should know they can still be killed after logging out. Put it in the message of the day or it looks like a bug.
