Short console lines.

[oromis]

in qwerty's server once, he had these small 1 line scripting lines that h typed into the console, such as chaning peoples names and talking for people. can soembody tell me some of these and how to sue them

1) would be abused
2) aren't built in functions as far as I know and must be scripted in.

[Stratofortress]

Epic qwerty scripts...
I think people did that in RTB too

[laremere]

Easy to do, but telling how would lead to endless abuse by n00bs.

[Ephialtes]

Sounds like it already is "being abused by n00bs"

Its not his scripts. Its things built into game, I can do them too. I'll admit that even I abuse things like this sometimes. If this info got leaked to the masses... Badspot would ban whoever did it from his master server.

[rkynick]

Uhm...

It isnt that much of an issue, bling.

Also I am fairly certain it is not built into the game. Why the hell would Badspot add a name changing function?
"Hm, I think I will add a hack to get around my system that keeps people from changing their names to other peoples names and make it easily accessible in the console."

[Dr Bling]

You can start some drama using afk people as your puppets :P Also, I never downloaded anything so its built into the game. It might be through torque but its definitely built in.

[LTvic]

Did he use the External Console?

[laremere]

No.


There aren't specific functions that change people's names and such, but you can use console commands to do it...

[rkynick]

I mean built in as in a built in /cmd or function("name","newname"); in console.

I'm not denying that you could make a function to change name and such, I'm saying its not premade for you.

[laremere]

Duh...

[tails]

if i change my name that that other -tails- noob will take my name D:<

[Dr Bling]

Its just in game Tails. It doesn't change your actual name (Blockland ID Name) It changes your name for that server temporarily. And since names aren't saved by servers, it goes back to normal when you go to a different server.

[NiXiLL]

You can do this with little scripting knowledge , lets say someone wants to script something that says your name. Then he gets to know %client.name , then he tries to change it ... voila his name got changed temporarily.

About talking for someone , real noobs can't really do this but if someone can script some more he will know that servercmd* function can be called then its just a matter of time that he finds out what thefirst argument is , after that he can make any player do anything even if he didn't want to.

I hope this gives an answer to you guys.
I did not mean to learn noobs how to do it but maybe I did.

If you get into a server where this happens, just leave the server.
They'll most likely abuse it more and more because they get better at things.
