[REJECTED] /Test <Rank>

[OfficerFlake]

I would like to see a command that can test the permissions of any rank below yours. Sure, demote/promote would do it just fine, but consider this scenario:

I'm not the owner of a server, and I can't demote myself (no console access), and if i did, i couldn't repromote again.

The reason for this is so I can wipe a world easily via /c air, and have it drawing at a specific rank power, so I don't get to place the air blocks in the zones I don't want to (eg: spawn)

I was thinking something like /bind for this:

/test Moderator -> gives the drawing rights of moderator rank, says "/test" to reset.
/c air -> cuboids with the power level above
/test -> resets back to the Admin rank.

Cheers if you could implement this! would save a decent ammount of time.

I'm not understanding this at all...you want a command that would give you command limits above your rank? Then what would be the point of having ranks? Sorry if it's just me not understanding.

So... you want something like a temporary rank change? That would be very tricky to implement, technically. Very tricky indeed.

boblol, only equal or below. This would avoid power issues.

I've got a work around, but it requires /wsave and /wload.

Make the fully cleaned world template
Save to a file
when the world is dirty, /wload the template to the appropriate world.

To clear part of the world, /wrestore.

Using this, The spawn is set to be for those with /wload or up to edit. Solves this problem reasonably well.

You should totally call it /Su or /SuDo!

What if you, like with displayednames, let all commands check for a "CurrentRank", and have the true rank stored somewhere else?

It's not that you really switch ranks, just when a command preforms a check it sees a different rank.

I'm not tearing up fCraft's whole permission system to add this.

Rejected? Have a mod!

I used a slightly riskier approach to accomplish it: http://forum.fcraft.net/viewtopic.php?f ... 96&p=30175
