Can't kill staff (while he is ref) message.

[Notme]

I "borrowed" this idea from @pjaj , it was in this thread: http://blocktopia.net/forum/threads/cant-kill-op.3141/

just an idea. adding a message when you try to kill a Referee, it says "you cannot kill staff, while he is ref!" much like "you cannot kill teammates! in TNT Wars/" I think it would be a good thing, especially for new players trying to kill Referees.

I just added into it few words.

So credit to him, I just copied it into Zombie server.

Meh. I don't think it's particularly needed, it's pretty easy to explain that green/blue named people can't be killed, which also helps new players get some contact with staff. It wouldn't be a *bad thing* on the server, but I just don't think it's really needed at this time.

 

[Notme]

Okay, but it has no drawbacks.

BTW KingSam applied this idea to his server...

 

[ethical1337]

It would stop me from messing with players! However ya I can see it being somewhat helpful but not necessary.

 

[Summer10]

This would be hard to code? @LISTINGS09
I think this wouldn't really be needed since most of the time ops are flying and it's the hacking comments that sprout from that..

 

[aperson155]

Well. we have the hide command.

 

[Damer_Flinn]

@Summer10 Actually I think it would be fairly easy. Just use the current hitbox to detect zombie vs ref instead of zombie vs human. Then send the "can't kill a ref" message to the zombie instead of the "zombie got red on human" global message.

 

[LISTINGS09]

I have vague memories of trying to do this a while back and it failing... But there's no reason why I couldn't re-investigate this. As Damer says it'd should just be an extra clause to account for refs.

 

[Notme]

Hmmm. @KingSam easily implemented this idea already (it would be like PM to that player, that wants to kill ref.)

 

[mariosatr]

However ya I can see it being somewhat helpful but not necessary.

I agree with this. You can just explain it to players It's not that big a deal.

 

[Notme]

But what if 15 newbies ask "why I can't kill ref" or just running towards them for whole round?
This suggestion would be useful.

 

[Jowe]

This was added, but its bugged - People still get the message while we are hidden @LISTINGS09

And thank you LISTINGS for being so awesome to listen and put these kind of things into the server! :)

 

[LISTINGS09]

Yes, now you point that out I can see why that would happen! =P I'll get a fix out asap.

 

[Nottykitten]

*aha so that is why I got that message....*

You also get it while you are human. (and walking into refs)

 

[Illusionist]

To be honest it's useless. The referee can just explain it to the player why he can't infect him/her.

To be honest it's useless. The referee can just explain it to the player why he can't infect him/her.

What if he's AFK?
And other players are new and don't now?

Anyways, something like this has been added because sometimes I manage to stumble upon an op using /hide and it says:

Can't kill this players. It's an operator.

Or something like that.

 

[Illusionist]

Or if the person is smart enough he can ask about it in the chat.
Example:
Player 1: I cant infect this guy
Player 2: You can't infect this player because he/she is a referee, referees have blue or green names.Also it can be a ghost you can't infect ghosts.

Example:
Player 1: I cant infect this guy
Player 2: You can't infect this player because he/she is a referee, referees have blue or green names.Also it can be a ghost you can't infect ghosts.

BUT.. This is a message for a player trying to kill a referee, and not a ghost.

 

[Defiant_Blob]

Well, @Illusionist , it's more of a "Why not?" thing. It doesn't hurt, and it'll help some at least.

 

[Illusionist]

@Gasy_Europeon read it again

What Ethical said however ya I can see it being somewhat helpful but not necessary.

 

[Chillingworth]

Example:
Player 1: I cant infect this guy
Player 2: You can't infect this player because he/she is a referee, referees have blue or green names.Also it can be a ghost you can't infect ghosts.

It takes away the explanation part.

 

[Pick Yer Poison]

To be honest it's useless. The referee can just explain it to the player why he can't infect him/her.

But why should the ref have to take the time to explain it when we can have it done automatically?

 

[Jolterino]

Guys, this has been added already.

Guys, this has been added already.

Actually it's only sort of added. We're still ironing out the bugs.

 

[Notme]

I tried to ate ref as zombie, and message didn't showed up...
