The best idea I can think of is player attribute modification. I'd have to mess around with it though, putting in

The first two serverr vars mentioned make the most sense, and in particular the nohurting one, but then of course, the entire damage system is serverside so I could just to clientr.vars for that, so eliminate that one.

The noblocking one... I don't know...

maybe setting some attr[#] to ".paused.spectate.dontblock" and then tokenize it with a delim "."? I don't know if that would work... could try it though.
Oh I see what you're doing with the nicks. Basically a player can choose which type of nicks he/she can see. Why not script showing nicks in the ganis so by simply using a flag check, you can choose whether or not to display the nicks.
