Vote to Silence Feature

[INW]

Wondering how to add the feature to vote silence someone by typing /vote silence "player"

I am only aware of the default /vote kick include suspend commands. How would I go about adding the silence feature?

P.S. I already have a vote folder working to include files from my CP which does work.

Also I noticed this topic but it doesn't say how it would be added. I am guessing development maybe?

Can't you just do /vote command silence inw

hmmm...that seems like a plausible idea. I know G5 has the command stuff or used to in his server.

How would I got about doing that? Make a command file in my vote folder for commands like silence?

I wasn't aware you needed a folder for this, it's just limited by the user level of the submitter, if the command even has restrictions on what auth level can execute it. Although there might be a minimum level needed to use /vote command
Over to someone more informed...

Heh I think that admins shouldn't be able to silence people* and I deff believe that you should be able to start a poll to silence someone.

The silence menu is there use it.


* I have silenced people in the past but I already admit that if I have power I am going to abuse it that's why I never ask for mod.

It's not the always access level of the vote caller. If the vote caller has at least the access level ACCESS_LEVEL_VOTE_COMMAND, a successful vote will execute the command at ACCESS_LEVEL_VOTE_COMMAND_EXECUTE or the access level of the vote caller, whatever is better. The following looks safe:

Code: Select all

ACCESS_LEVEL_VOTE_COMMAND_EXECUTE 2
ACCESS_LEVEL_VOTE_COMMAND 15

And then just say "/vote command SILENCE <player name>".

Obvious problem, of course: the command is only interpreted and executed after it's accepted. A name change can easily dodge it.

Thanks but that's not good

In that case, look up the code for /vote kick (in eVoter.cpp, the 'if command == "kick"' line starts it), copy (refactoring common bits first), adapt, submit patch
