Prevent Player Disabling of Effects

Post by Gerbil »

Is it possible to have a line in the map (as opposed to a server script) to prevent players from disabling effects such as fog? I swear I saw a reference to this somewhere but I can't find it.

Of course not, Gerbil - it's there so that other people can read it for you! :P

Well that's what the forums are for...so people who have read it can tell me what I didn't read without me having to read it. It's a good system.
