Reset inactivity timer when an attack is blocked

[Malong]

Dealing damage is not the only way to show that you are active.  Using an anvil or health prop for instance is another simple way to prove you are still active.  Dealing some damage at the end of the wave when the last few bots are getting cleaned up is another option.

What I would like to know is whether this is currently an ongoing problem or whether this is just concern about what might go wrong.  If we get enough feedback and examples of how the current implementation of this feature is creating false-positives, we will look into a way of adjusting the system accordingly.

Thanks for the very prompt reply! First, it is indeed an ongoing issue, and a frequent case that seems to not have been considered is shield classes being resurrected for waves 16 and 20, while setup is simultaneously occurring. In this case, you are already between waves before using a tome, so there are no remaining bots to damage, and in the case of wave 16, you may be waiting for the wave the spawn before using a tome to avoid Tricksters. Also, the timer for wave preparation is nearly assured to end, and there is not necessarily enough time to use the non-expedited shield repair or health prop before getting back to the shield wall as needed.

Also, I acknowledged that dealing damage is not the only way to show you are active, but the point of this request is that not all forms of contribution are considered activity, and other forms of "inactivity" are only resolved by endangering the success of the rest of the server. In the end, that seems against the intention of the change:

Before anyone makes any suggestion that this request is principally for me, it is not. I can certainly play other classes, or simply heal, pick up a weapon and slash, or various other solutions. But that's not the point, discouraging people from playing necessary classes is undesirable, and seems against the intention of the change anyway. It just seems like a change that was made without all forms of contribution being taken into consideration, with significant unintended consequences.
