    Aight, I don't exactly play but I've recently seen 2 ideas based around the fact of stopping hackers from getting your loot and one for getting your loot back after a hacker kills you.

    So Ritzy what is /is? It's short for inventory save. It can be used by a player once every 10 minutes and should be used as soon as the player sees a hacker. /is will instantly log your inventory and send an automated message to all staff members online telling them that you have used the command.

    Obviously the command doesn't give the player invincibility so you will still die but when a mod gets on and bans the hacker that you reported for whatever it was that they were using the mod simply enters a command like /irestore (name) and your inventory will be restored to what it was when you typed /is; another feature could be being tp'd back to the spot you were at when you typed the command.

    This won't be too server intensive as it isn't constantly logging everyone's inventory and it can't also be abused as doing the command gives the player no physical advantage like /panic would.

    I personally see this being the solution to all of your guys problems that are still playing with not that many staff on WarZ anymore. Hope I helped and this can maybe implemented in the future.

    EDIT: Inventory logs last for 1 hour after the command is used per log per server, then are deleted. This stops people from logging there inventory in full d and then getting it back every time they have their inventory reset.

    TPing back to the spot could be sort of abused, since it could in theory teleport you into a battle and you'd basically get free kills on people that are caught off-guard. The rest of this idea, however, is very good. +1.

    what about my idea?Okay, so first of all speed hackers, no one likes them what if there was a way to not die by them while fighting them? what if brawl added a /hacker command that froze the player fighting the speed hacker, now I know what you think. people are gonna abuse this well if people do /hacker in a fight without speed hackers the person fighting the one that abused could either record them abusing but here's one thing in order to get the person that abused banned they need to show that there team is not hacking or no one in the team has been banned in like a week. and if people lie about this the person that did /hacker could /team name name name name to show who was in the team. it seems like a long process but I mean how else could we defend if there are no mods on, also when you are in /hacker or /panic there you go lol if a mod gets on he could set you free. edit: people that abuse more than 3 times get no access to this command

    plus mods are the only ones that unfree you from this, you can't move throw or pickup items, basically when you're handcuffed in wildwest

    Running away from 4 full d's. Uses /Panic and claims he was being chased by a hacker. Walks away alive.

    The tp part is just so if you died at snow for example you would get a tp back up there.

    @ritzy, the only way they could get out of /panic is if he has proof if not ./kill

    1 abuse, 2 more chances after those chances he can't use the command anymore.

    Ok let me put it this way, your idea works, but has quit a lot of flaws. My idea works and has near to no flaws. I'm not knocking your idea at all I just thought of this as a thing to replace it as its more convenient for the server itself and cannot be abused at all.

    And having to /kill just because you can't prove someone is hacking... Would that not annoy you?

    Not a WarZ player, but I do know hackers on that server is an issue. This is a great idea :3

    From a coding standpoint, this is quite easy to achieve. I don't play much WarZ, but still +1.

    You really cant abuse anything... /is only saves your inventory, it gives you no advantage...

    But if you get attacked by a lot of people and you have FullD you just can do /is

    @ritzy so I talked it over and it was determined that there were a couple flaws with it, such as the player needing to be on at the same time as the mod when they ban, how you can prove they were killed by the hacker, how long it stores this data. It is also believed it would be extremely server intensive due to the fact that it would have to store large amounts of data very frequently. If you could think of some ideas to help with these i could send them over.

    Stores data for 30-60mins, you have to trust the player in knowing he died to the hacker. Maybe have it so that it the player types /is (hackers name) and then when the mod does /invrestore (player) (hacker) it will tell you if he died to him or not.

    OMG we are so in sync! I literally came up with the exact same idea right before you posted it. Waiting for a response on it. I'll keep you posted

    Pretty awesome idea! Can't really think of any ways that people will abuse it. If only we had this command a few weeks ago :stuck_out_tongue:
