The message settings are used to decide if the head shot message should be used, and what messages should be sent and for how long.
show_message:
Nice and simple. Should the player receive a message when they shoot a zombie in the head?
true|false
head_shot_text:
Again, this is self-explanatory. What should the message be? Be sure to wrap the text with apostrophes, for example, 'You got a head shot!'.
head_shot_text supports colour formatting, so you can use the standard Minecraft colours as you normally would. For example, '&bYou got a head shot!'
show_message_length:
How long, in seconds, would you like the head_shot_text to appear on screen?
The default length is 3 seconds, because this is enough so that it'll be seen, but not so much that the player will become annoyed by its presence. You can set this to however long you'd like.
{% hint style="warning" %} FUTURE UPDATES: If you've already spent some time playing UndeadPandemic, then you may have seen the 'Execution!' message appear. This appears when you get a head shot within 7 blocks of the Zombie. At the minute, this message can't be changed or altered in any way, but this is going to change.
An option will also be added to let server operators decide if head shot and execution texts should appear as titles (as they do now) or in text. {% endhint %}
