Author Topic: Time Travel  (Read 2599 times)

What if you could add an admin option that would allow you to turn back the clock on a server.

It's not going to be easy to explain this.

Lets say that there are 3 people on a server all doing specific things, one is building, the other is flying around and another guy is driving a jeep.

AND the entire time all of it is being recorded by an action recorder. (Not a video making recorder, a recorder that records what happens in game)

You announce to the 3 users that you are going to put yourself and them back in time to the beginning when the server started.

They agree (Of course)

So you press the turn back time button, the effect is represented by a white flash.

You and the users are virtually unaffected by what happened.

Then, a copy of you (A bot) spawns and begins to perform the exact actions you did when the server had started.

Then the other three users (Bots) spawn in the order to the time they joined the server (Whether they had joined the server 5 minutes later or more or less)
and begin to repeat the actions the users had performed in the past.

If my description of this suggestion is not clear enough, please play this flash game to get the concept.

1 seems like you based this off of a game.
2 It might be good but there could be a downside. if there is like 10 people.. you now have 20 people. if there is 20 you have 40. It could cause lag and the addon would use up space on your computer because it will have to record it.

It would be a great experiment

So really its not resetting things, or going back to another moment in the server; it is more of watching a replay of what you did 5 minutes ago, performed by bots.

Don't see much practical use in that.

Time alteration? like i load up beta city peacefull RP, and i go back, and plant a couple of zombie spawns, go back to present day, and the whole city would be in ruins, and it would be a zombie thingy,

Something liek this?

I can see how useful this would be if some ass-hat spammed, hid stuff, all the things that would get you banned for.

That would be amazing.
But easily abused.

Actually, I see much use for this. Such as, for one, say you're in a team deathmatch, and somehow you keep getting killed by someone on your team, but no one can prove it because of an add on. So, someone uses this to see who killed you, and boom, you got your team killer.

Can also bring up mass bad ass bragging rights.

I Agree but i think the concept should go like this:

You time travel like undulo i mean you removed a brick and then you choose the time you want to travel back so the brick appears again

Also i've played the game 1-2 Months ago i think


That would be hilarious.

Build a house and see other blockhead doing it xD, anyway if you would do time travel back to time the script must detect what was built.

DONT MEET YOUR OTHER SELF OR YOU'LL CUASE A PARADOX AND THE PANDORICA WILL OPEN, SILENCE WILL FALL, AND THE UNIVERSE WILL END!!!

Actually, the one who time traveled would probably disappear.
As the guy in the past originally never met himself, so history was re-wrote.
