Gift: Warpto System for Non-RCs

Projectshifter · #1 06-20-2004, 10:15 PM

I was tired of seeing ETs, FAQs, GPs etc with RC so they can have "warpto" and such. It's not needed, and the rules actually prohibit it for dev worlds. So I spent about 20-30 minutes writing (and chatting, he he) a script to replaec this. I've added a few more features than most playerworlds that have these have. Rather than just giving them a weapon and them warping and summoning and such, it's a little bit different.
The weaponname is "-Warpto System", and unless you edit the trigger then it needs to remain that way. There are three types of warps you can: xy, xylevel, player. XY being able to do "/warpto 30 30", XYLevel being "/warpto test.nw 30 30", and Player being "/warpto Projectshifter". It is "/warpto" rather than "warpto" so it does not cause any confusion and does not overlap the existing system (mainly so you do not get the (not authorized) chat).
Also you can add rights. In the Control-NPC, if you go to 'Edit flags' then you can do:
warpto.requirerights=true/false -> which in turn means that if they are false, anyone with the system can use all the warps, but if it is set to true, then the next thing comes into player:
rights.account=xy,xylevel,player -> which translates to if I had rights.Projectshifter=player it would mean that I could ONLY warp to players. There is a few commented lines at the top of the script with some further information. I would encourage it's usage, as long as you leave the comments at the top, and it is "Globally Sanctioned" I suppose, considering I am GST and all, he he.
Just as an end note, all warps are logged into logs/warpto_system.txt, and if you are warping to a player, you can also use their nicknames. And no need to include double quotes for things such as "/warpto Projectshifter (GST)" because it contains a space. If you DO warpto a player, even if you use the nickname, it logs the account name (in the proper case-sensitivity) in the logs. Enjoy, and let me know if you like it =)

That is without a doubt...Genius. Good job

I hope a lot of dev worlds start using this system or something similar, I smell a crackdown coming.

*ominous gaze*

Clap Clap Clap. Very good

Very simple, indeed. And I don't even program. *shrug*

Eh, keen I guess? Why a FAQ would need warpto is beyond me anyways. Also, isn't it possible to just use /openrights on the account and give Warpto, but still not give out RC by not adding the user account to the serverops? Correct me if I'm mistaken.

LOL, you are mistaken. Many servers will add to staff= and then set their IP wrong, which clutters up staff= and is annoying. Plus this is logged =p

Nice man, good to see that you're working hard for the community, you're an example of good global.

Pretty neat script, easy to follow I have some crits but none that I can think of without opening the script again so good job!

There should be a new server option called 'warprights'
The people's accounts that are in it would be able to use warp rights if they're no included in the staff list.

I take it then you have never been a FAQ on a large server, getting asked multiple question at once?

Why in the world would you have to warp to the person to answer a question?

A lot of FAQ teams actually go and HELP the players as well. THAT would be the purpose of them "requiring" warpto.

Trevor · #15 06-21-2004, 07:26 PM

FAQs (which I think is a horrible name) should answer questions and that is all. There is no reason for them to warp to a player to do that. For a person to be a FAQ they should have sufficient knowledge of a server, enough so to answer questions without warping to a player.

I imagine you are relating helping to quests and the like, so I'll give my input on that.
Quests are designed to be for the players to figure out on their own, not for a FAQ to walk them through it. What is the point in the time it took to make the quest if a FAQ helps a player through it?
