flags and commands
flags and commands
ok...ive noticed a few things people do.
question 1: how do people take your flags and/or give a flag to you?
question 2: what does the /spawn command do, and how do i use it?
question 3: is there a way to get the server to stop kicking you for supposed "wrong end shots"?

You need to have the flagMaster perm (which basically means you need to be an admin). If used incorrectly this can be cheating (normal players can't do this either).
There is no /spawn command.OO7 wrote:question 2: what does the /spawn command do, and how do i use it?
I've seen this caused by lag and firing a GM when it's not configured well (or with - you guessed it - lag). It's meant to prevent cheating.OO7 wrote:question 3: is there a way to get the server to stop kicking you for supposed "wrong end shots"?

they shouldn't be doing that... it can be considered cheating...OO7 wrote:question 1: how do people take your flags and/or give a flag to you?
Re: flags and commands
There are instances when it is acceptable. On BZ Olympics we give flags all the time. It doesn't affect game play above 50m (unless there is a race going on). Usually if someone falls off of the obstacle course we will ask if they want a wings or they will ask for it. Lets them get back to the place where they fell from much quicker.me1 wrote:they shouldn't be doing that... it can be considered cheating...
The other instance where it is acceptable is on a CTF map to stop a player who is knowingly trying to team capture a flag (ban is better, but depends on how fast you type) or for lopsided attempted captures.

ANY perm can be assigned to ANY group. It all depends on the server owner. So the abuse level only depends on what perms are assigned, and who is assigned to what group.a temporal distraction wrote:...and the "/flag take|give..." commands are password level admin (aka owner) - so I'd say it's pretty safe from abuse.

I think it is available in only recent 2.0.5 betas (which is pulled from CVS).OO7 wrote:i have tried this, and am admin on my map. but all it says is: reset|show|upA Meteorite wrote:flag give "player name" flagAbbreviation

You need a fairly recent build of BZFlag (like b5).
