First of all I'm sorry I posted this idea in the wrong section the first time. :/

A simple request for a possible very challenging plugin. (Don't know how hard it would be to make)

Perhaps a plugin that makes who ever is in a duel god mode except against their opponent, but on the flip side but also
also cannot damage other players,
and cannot partake in the objective, like Move the kart, or carry the intel...

this makes them useless to the overall game, and no one can have a reason to complain "that ___ cannot be killed" and the players can go off on their duels.

Some suggestion addons that will probably make this more complicated.

Non-dueling enemy projectiles must pass through dueling players otherwise a dueling player could use themselves as a shield for other team members or to disrupt gameplay.

Non-dueling players must pass through dueling players as a dueling player may use themselves as a obstacle to disallow players to get to specific parts of map, disrupting gameplay.

Dueling players must not be allowed to carry intelligence, capture points, push carts, etc.

Player must not be allowed to cause damage, whether through splash, direct, or world. This includes air-blasting, force of nature throw-back, mantreads stomping, etc.

Dueling players must not be allowed to heal non-dueling players via medic, dispensers, items thrown down such as sandviches, etc.

Dueling players would require modifications to engineer class to disallow their sentries to target non-dueling players.

Dueling engineers would be disallowed from using Frontier-Justice as they could build infinite sentries, get a few kills then let it die...continue this loop for infinite crits on Frontier Justice against dueling parties.

Plugin would have to be sure to separate multiple duels betweens players so if Player A and Player B were dueling, and Player C and Player D were dueling, the plugin does not allow damage between the two dueling parties.

**Please note: Not trying to be picky but when it comes to an idea that could possibly disrupt gameplay and cause issues amongst players, all possibilities and scenarios must be taken into consideration.**

I'm pretty sure it's not possible to determine who is dueling who, only whether or not they're in a duel.

It's entirely possible, but would require a custom extension.

So it would be possible to make a plugin of the sort?

It would be an interesting plugin.

Decided against it. Why spend months making a plugin that would probably still be exploited in some way (there's no way you can account for every possibility of abuse come on now) because a couple of guys are complaining about dueling in a server with 32 players? You're going to be killed by someone other then your partner now and then, and it's no one's fault but yours for choosing to duel on a full server and expecting to be left alone.
