Title: [N] Pausing Textdraw
Post by: iMJets on September 26, 2010, 11:05:08 PM
A summary of the changes that you want

- A Textdraw over a person if they are paused, So you can stop people from avoiding death easier.

(Example: If you see someone pause in a door a small textdraw will go over the persons name and say Player is Paused. Which in return would be easier for admins to remove abusers.)

The advantages of this change happening

- Easier Admin Job

- Less Abuse

- More Fun Server

The disadvantages of this change happening

- Maybe small Bugs.

Any script snippets which provide the feature that you want

N/A

as far as I know its not possible. I mean, it will be delayed like the colour change is now. But still would be nice for newbies

I don't think the server can detect if someone is paused as quickly as it takes to enter a building, if it did it would also trigger when people had bad lag.

Well we could just chuck the paused text draw in the same place where the player is turned to black. It wouldn't show when someone  paused instantly but it'd be better than nothing.

I'd prefer this to replace the dark names. It doesn't show that half the server is inactive just by looking at the score board, which makes players leave.

To get it to check fast all you have to do is check the tick rate faster. i once got it down to about 1.5 seconds it could detect

Idea accepted.

Should we remove the black names at the same time? So it's not known if half the server is AFK and players just leave!

yep that would be a good idea cause when ppl see them all black names they will /q so instead the textdraw will lead ppl to stay on the server
