Can a bot plugin actually kill a player? I was thinking of good ideas for people to use, and I thought of one that slowly drained your energy might be an interesting twist. There obviously wouldn't be a ball time limit, but if you held on to the ball for too long, you'd be killed.

The bot would have to lock down onto a players coords, as an enemy, and fire weapons to deplete the players energy to death.

you can prize an "energy depleted" green too, but that won't make the energy drain slowly.

How about give (aka *prize) an item that drains energy even when its not used or something like that..

Yeah not sure. I don't do bot plugins, so I guess I'm just pitching new ideas. Since I'm leaving mgbf soon, I won't be really using the ideas. I might be around the forums but other than that... moot.

you could use my drone plugin for ASSS, assuming your willing to learn a better server instead of using a 10 year old one.

Once again, it's not for me. (Silly bak.)

You could use a bot to check whether a person has one of the devices(x-radar, antiwarp, stealth, cloak) turned on, and then prize them with whatever. Then in settings make the device drain energy and essentially create a secondary use for it. You could also use the settings to negate the primary function of the device.

Of course a bot can kill a player. Ever tried having MERVBot just sit there and kill 500 million people? Of course, the bot would have to be on the map, and it would really only work with 1 player at a time.

That's good for if you hold the ball too long, but not for slowly draning NRG.

Well, if you only had one ball, the bot could just torment you by repeatedly shooting you...
