Suggestion for ACAS

[DJ Wings]

Add a command to put a player's tank on cruise control via an AI while they're AFK, and another to disable it when they return.
Here's the code, for anyone who wants to use it:

Code: Select all

function afk(%sender)
{
   %sender.player.setAI(GoldLightAI);
}
function back(%sender)
{
   %sender.player.setAI(none);
}

Ahh, Cool. Thnx

isnt this the same as the possess code, its puts your tank on a ai, and it drives and shoots its self.

[DJ Wings]

Musick: Sort of. The possession code can't be controlled, whereas for this one, it's intended as a tool rather than a gameplay element.
Fresh_305: Don't get your hopes up. You can't just add the code and run it, you have to edit NormalCodes.cs to call it.

I see what you mean, i will have to give it a try when i have some free time

[DJ Wings]

Edited; the old approach wouldn't work.

In case you didn't notice, the possess code does exactly what you wrote:

$ACAS::CodesFolder::Function[10] = "possess";
$ACAS::CodesFolder::Shortcut[10] = "/possess";
$ACAS::CodesFolder::Description[10] = "Possess Player";
$ACAS::CodesFolder::GuiArgs[10] = "SelectedPlayer";

$ACAS::CodesFolder::Function[11] = "unpossess";
$ACAS::CodesFolder::Shortcut[11] = "/unpossess";
$ACAS::CodesFolder::Description[11] = "Unpossess Player";
$ACAS::CodesFolder::GuiArgs[11] = "SelectedPlayer";

function possess(%sender,%msg)
{
%match = matchClientName(%msg);
%client = firstword(%match);
%status_msg = restWords(%match);
if(%client == -1)
{
commandToClient(%sender,'CenterPrint', %status_msg,4,4);
return;
}

%client.player.setai(GoldLightAI);
centerprintall(%client.namebase SPC "has been possessed!",4,4);
}

function unpossess(%sender,%msg)
{
%match = matchClientName(%msg);
%client = firstword(%match);
%status_msg = restWords(%match);
if(%client == -1)
{
commandToClient(%sender,'CenterPrint', %status_msg,4,4);
return;
}

%client.player.setai("");
%client.setControlObject(%client.player);
centerprintall(%client.namebase SPC "has been unpossessed!",4,4);
}

And it's reverseable using /unpossess

You can configure it to be non-admins too... You can even let non-admins ban people if you feel like it.
