MSC Tag

From the author's README on Thunderstore

MSC Tag is a multiplayer ReSkate Luau Tag throwdown built around the same private-lobby presentation as MSC Longest Belly Slide. Chase other skaters, touch the current IT player to transfer the role, and finish the round with the least accumulated time as IT.

Hosting and joining

1. Install the same MSC Tag version on the ReSkate server and participating clients. Use Mods/MSC_Tag/ for clients and the server's Plugins/MSC_Tag/ directory for dedicated servers.
2. Open Throwdowns → MSC Tag (or Insert → MSC Tag) to open the custom match lobby.
3. Choose a capacity of 2–10 players and a duration of 30–600 seconds. Choose Place MSC Tag flag.
4. Stand where you want the join marker and press E (controller X). Use Backspace / B to cancel placement.
5. Other players approach the custom MSC Tag flag and press E / X to join. You can host multiple independent Tag games in one session.
6. Once at least two skaters are enrolled, the host presses START MSC TAG in the lobby or E / X at their own flag.

The native Throwdown mode card opens the custom MSC Tag lobby; there is no native queue, waiting card or native game-flag registration. The independently drawn flag and lobby screen are only for MSC Tag. Other Throwdowns retain their own native controls.

Match

Every enrolled player sees the server-controlled GET READY: 3, 2, 1, GO! countdown. The Tag round clock begins only after GO. One randomly chosen participant begins IT.

Pass within 60 cm of another participant�s body to transfer IT; a physical collision is not required. Close passes are sampled every tick and retained for 400 ms, with reports every 100 ms. Both clients must report the same contact within 800 ms of server receipt; the server checks poses too when they are available. Re-tagging has a two-second cooldown, and the same pair must separate before an immediate return tag. Normal game collision does not have to be enabled. Remote players are shown with the engine's IT nametag, and participants can see the current IT and a live standings panel ordered by lowest time spent as IT.

At the end of the configured round, the winner and final ranking appear for about five seconds, then the lobby automatically closes. Tied winners share a tie result but do not receive the single-winner payout. A no-tag game displays NO WINNER instead of declaring a false winner.

During gameplay, Start / Options opens the Tag match/quit menu. There you can resume or leave after confirmation; the host can also End for everyone. Insert → MSC Tag has corresponding controls. Quitting or host cancellation cannot pay and does not affect other Tag lobbies or other Throwdowns.

MSC payouts

This plugin calls the existing reskate.server.msc_skate_reward wallet bridge and does not require modifying the MSC server executable. A normal, time-expired game with at least one confirmed tag transfer, a single winner and two players remaining can pay 100 MSC per opponent enrolled at match start. A cancelled game, host departure, insufficient players, no confirmed tags or a tie never pays. The win screen shows a reward only when the wallet bridge returns a confirmed paid receipt; if the bridge is absent or rejects the payment, it does not invent a successful payout.

Each match generates its own receipt ID to prevent reusing one payout receipt when a flag/game identifier is reused. Contact matching depends on clients' touch reports (and server poses where available); it is not a cheat-proof server-simulated collision system.
