Per-rank annoucnements

Post by BobKare »

The topic says the most, actually.

What I want, is the ability to send announcements per-rank!
By default, the announcement should be sent to all players on the server, but I think there should be a way to limit per-announcements to ranks.

This might be done like adding something like @RankName [Announcement] in the announcements.txt, which will only send the announcement to all players of that rank and above!

This will make it easier to announce staff/op stuff, which all players on the server shouldn't be allowed to see.

Thanks,

~BobKare

I say add logic!
%if(@admin): Please check of main needs to be wiped.
A = {x ∈ P(U) | x ∉ x}
Mods:
  1. /Su - Allows players to temporarily become a different rank
  2. /Snap - Like /Line but only draws straight or diagonal lines.
  3. pre-0.630 skip/none block

Eventually, make staff-only announcements, in a seperate file. Eveyone with perm. ReadStaffChat should be able to read them.

I believe he means the lines in announcements.txt will be handled like normal messages, and thus will be able to contain commands like @@rank or even @player. This won't even be very hard to implement.

No, he thinks what you are suggesting is already possible. He missed the "to every player of that rank and above" part. What you are suggesting is basically a less specific /staff, which could prove useful at occasions. Like Hellenion said, might be easy to mod.
