AutomaticPvPSwitch
Automatically switches player ability builds when entering PvP combat.AutomaticPvPSwitch
Server mod for V Rising. Automatically switches player ability builds when entering PvP combat.
How it works
Players save separate PvP and PvE ability builds. When a player enters PvP combat (detected via Buff_InCombat_PvPVampire), their abilities are automatically swapped to their saved PvP build. Players can manually switch back to PvE with .pve when Vampire PvP Combat debuff expires (Also has a 10s cooldown between manual switches).
Ability swaps use the VBloodAbilityUtilities.TryApplyVBloodAbility - this updates the ability bar, "spellbook" UI, network sync, and preserves cooldowns.
The switch back to PvE is not automatic - players must use .pve manually when they're ready. This avoids unwanted swaps mid-fight if the PvP buff briefly drops.
Saved slots
- Spell 1 (bar slot 5)
- Spell 2 (bar slot 6)
- Ultimate (bar slot 7)
- Travel/Veil (bar slot 2)

Saved configs
- Player builds:
BepInEx/config/AutomaticPvPSwitch/builds.json - Global toggle:
BepInEx/config/AutomaticPvPSwitch/global_enabled- if the file is absent, the automatic switch is enabled; a file containing1also means enabled; a file containing0means no automatic PvP switch.
Performance
- Event-driven: a HookDOTS prefix on
BuffSystem_Spawn_Serverreacts only to buffs spawned that tick, resolving the carrier viaEntityOwner.Owner. No per-tick polling of players. - Zero cost when no player has a PvP build saved (early-out).
- Zero allocation on ticks where no buff spawns.
- The only heavy work (applying a build) runs on the combat-entry event, not every tick.
