Added Player States

Now when somebody frags you, you become unconscious. That basically means you’ll be unable to do anything that involves your character for about a minute. This is a very key time for future updates: Here, players will be able to do things to you like turn you in (to jail).

After about a minute of being unconscious without being acted upon by other players, you respawn as a Ghost. As a Ghost, you don’t take damage, nor can you do harm. You can still gather resources though. This state is very important to newbies, for example, so they don’t suffer from the world-wide PvP too much.

Right now I have it set to restore you to your normal state after being a Ghost for about 3 minutes. Ideally, this would be a lot longer. There should also be some way to restore yourself manually, using something like a Hospital building or so.
