How do i warp someone into an isolated box where they can't get out. They can't change ships, or press insert.

Also how do i make people stay in spec? I know how to get them in spec, but i don't know how to make them stay.

Yes... i saw that *spec command already, and I searched through the FAQ but i still couldn't find what i was looking for

... My question was how to spec everybody at once and lock them in.

As for the box thing, its only possible with a bot with anti on the box.

you need to keep greening the players energy depleted prizes or they can change ships out of the anti field. (I thought about this for my zone for punishment but abandoned it)

Bah, most fun you can have to punish someone is to do this (replace number with your crappiest ship):

/*spec
/*setship 5

The server has the lock applied to them, so they can't change ships. Just remember, if you want to disable their ship-lock, you have to send a /*spec, which will put them into spec mode again, but free to change out of it.

would be really funny to have a ship reserved for punishment that a bot puts people in when you tell it to.

hahah make a crappy ship, then minus green them, and when they die becuz the bot is neat and turreting them, make them stay there then warp them around the map repeatedly with a bot !!!

unfortunatly i am unable to do any of this due to the lack of ability to make a bot.

gimp dood!~!~! · Guest Offline

#1 u can ask how to make 1 or
#2 u can ask another zone to use theirs if sum1 has something like that

i tried asking how to make one, but no one responded.

I'm not going to use a bot for punishment.... i need one for timed games like hockey. Oh and for score keeping.

You need a custome made bot that will use the same method used for tracking and banning players to make sure that the player, no matter under what alias he enters, be placed onto that box.
So even he warps with insert, the bot will return/spawn him onto that box.

As for keeping people in spec, if I remember right that works on macID, and they might change it.
So you might wish to change the permittion mode, so that if you spec someone, he can't unspec unless authorized by a mod.

I dont think that the box is anything that formal Grav, it's just something to !box you friends into and hear them scream for 10 seconds.

Helicon · Posted: Sat Feb 22, 2003 9:24 pm Post subject:

I got it... just *spec, /HAHAHAHAHAR!!!!,*setshipt X
...whenever they move too fast...

Just repeatedly *warpto <box> every second until you want to let them out.
