player.ip?
 

Is there anything remotely like a 'player.ip' variable?
I don't believe there is, but I might've missed something.

If not, could it be added?

There're lots of things you could use it for. :)

No. It should be added though. :/

Lots of things like ?

Could be abused me thinks. <- Ignore that.

Couldn't this be easily abused? <- Answer that.

Well if you're trying to track someone who you think is sharing an account you can add a make a script where it logs their IP everytime that person logs on, it can be used for numerous things.

EDIT: If player.ip existed...

What's the difference from looking in RC for their IP?

Because that takes too long.

You don't understand my question.

If it's a 'danger' why can we view it through the attrs?

Ah, you are correct I misunderstood.
I do not think it is a danger, unless that person is stupid to have so many open ports on their computer. I think that this should be added. IP protected scripts would seem sort of cool. o_O

I do agree it's a cool idea.

Having someone's IP doesn't really mean much.

You could put an IP range lock on someone's player, like there is for RC.
Maybe the script would send a msg to RC if the player of a staff account is out of range.

if (actionplayeronline) savelog2 ips.txt,#a has logged on with ip: #s(player.ip);

err, would that log it?

Right now it doesn't exist...

I was thinking about that, which is why I changed what I wrote into a question. What if... someone makes a script that allows anyone (normal users) to get at anyone elses IP address as long as they are on the server.

Or if some kind of error allows them to get it.

You can say all you like "Having someone's IP doesn't really mean much", but I wouldn't want someone having my address, even more so if they have some kind of problem with me. Even though i'm fairly well protected and have a dynamic IP address, it still doesn't change anything for me.
