Idea Shift to Avoid Compass Tracking

Let's say there was a hacker on with autocroutch. This would be way to op in so many circumstances especially In hunger games. You could just dig a small hole at spawn and practically win

 

This could really confuse the compass.
Compass moves, suddenly stops, then moves, then stops
It's a nice idea but would need some tweaking.

 

This would kind of defeat the purpose of having a compass in the first place. If you see someone on your compass then you crouch and it makes you undetectable.

 

Everyone would start crouching if they new this would happen. Like wezzard said, this would then defeat the purpose of having a compass.

 

This would be super confusing .-.

 

As stated before, this would be quite confusing. Especially to the newer members. If it were to be implemented it would need some tweaking.

 

How about when you shift, the compass range is lowered so the person tracking you just needs to get closer. I don't know the exact range of the compass, but let's say it decreases it by 8 blocks. If you still don't get it then here is an example.

Player 1's compass starts pointing at Player 2
Player 2 starts shifting.
Player 1's compass stops tracking but he or she knows where it was pointing before so he or she heads in that direction. It then again points at Player 2 because he is now in range.

 

When a player is sneak hacking, they move at normal speed but are crouched. This would give them extreme advantages.

 

NoCheat comes into play.

 

I've seen players on WarZ sprint hack. They use a timer I believe. They sprint and run like normal.

 

I think that would be quite easy to distinguish compare to other, harder to detect forms of hacking. You just have to record someone in the sneak position while they're moving at a normal pace, and they'd get banned easily.

And the compass defeats the purpose of stealth.
