How to restrict certain commands to certain levels.

[Piper802]

Hey, this is probably a completely nooby question, but how do you restrict certain commands to certain admin levels? I've searched millions of times and have read thousands of posts about flags, but none ever state how to assign flags to a command. I'm using Nero's Crazy QVM btw...

This topic has a list of the QVMs commands + flags.

You want to change their flags? Edit the source and compile a qvm.

Nolol I dont want to change their flags, I just want make higher levels get certain commands, and lower levels get lesser commands.

Ex:
Level 6 commands: !noclip, !switch, etc..
Level 5 Commands: !abps, !hbps, etc...
:/

I THINK youre supposed to add flags to the section of the admin.dat file...

Code: [Select]

[level]
level   = 6
name    = ^1God
flags   = * (Insert flags here?)
Like according to Nero's QVM, !noclip's flag is O. So would it look something like this >_<?

Code: [Select]

[level]
level   = 6
name    = ^1God
flags   = *O
I'm probably doing this completely wrong but meh.. D:.

way to not read the help file for any qvm above 1.1

Sorry I dont know where to get this help file...  When I downloaded Nero's QVM all it has in the folder is the QVM >_>.. It saves yourself a few posts if you provide details :[.

Your completely right. Just remove the "*", I think that flag makes you allmighty.

Thanks!
So if you wanted to add a ton of flags would you just keep adding on different flags to the level? Or would there be spaces inbetween them?

[level]
level   = 4
name    = ^3Senior Admin
flags   = i1ahCpPkmyBbeN
like that no spaces

* is everything except a few (i think its $ and @ or something)

[KamikOzzy]

right, yet everything you add after the * is subtracted. Therefore, in your case, *O means that the admin level it is applied to will have every admin ability except noclip.

* is everything except a few (i think its $ and @ or something)

In SVN, ! and @
In my builds, !, @, and #
