Title: Specific Custom commands
Post by: BugHuman on August 31, 2008, 08:21:07 pm
You know how you can do !slap then enter the name of your choice and it goes to just that person. How can I make a custom command do that? Is it possible?

SLap is so abusable,thats why anyone that have a non-crazy qvm uses it.

and, about the custom comand, yes you cant, but have to apply the patch to you qvm. (not the shitty ones that you make with the admin.dat)

Slap might be abusable but you dont have to worry about it being abused if you have admins that wont abuse it =\

it's only purpose is abuse, you either have admins that will abuse it, or there is no reason to have it since it's never used.

Why not just use noclip then? It doesn't require an additional command and it has more legitimate uses than !slap.

Hahaha. Noclip, that's great. There's a reason that's cheat protected.

If players could slap themselves, but no one else, that'd be great. A powerful nudge in a random direction that does ten to twenty damage to the player so it's not abused. Perhaps there could be a safety for abuse. It can only be used if a player is standing still for a certain amount of time?

Aha, so in the middle of a game you just devmap? That's your idea of "legitimate"?

Allowing manual modification of sv_cheats during a match is not even as abusable as !slap; any player can use cheats, not any player can use !slap.

Only RCON can change /devmap. You fail in your argument.

Another point for the "change the source code" method.

I'm not saying the idea behind !slap is bad. It's rather like communism; while a perfectly good idea in theory, in practice it goes pear-shaped. The average Tremulous player, when given power, is highly unlikely to use it properly.
