"HE KILLEDZ ME HE SHUD BE BANNED DESUDESU T_T"

Beorn, whilst I dislike that behavior too, if we do nothing about it then whose to say they wont just grief someone else?
If I get randomly killed, I'll send a polite message [Hehe] to Adminhelp making sure he wasn't the traitor or whatever, and if he was just randomly killing me, then I would like for him to be warned or punished somehow, but I don't believe anyone but people who actually come on to grief that should be banned.
Because everybody can learn.

Then again, this is hard to manage when your admins are players, too. What if the guy who killed you and isn't a traitor has been tricked into killing you by the traitor in some fashion? I've had scenarios where I've been sitting in the CSI lab discussing things with the forensic tech, and he could easily lead me astray and have me arrest you and throw you in the brig in a second. By which I mean, shoot you with a laser gun when you try to escape, and then watch you die before I can get you to medbay.

It's never happened to me, but it could.

We have ways to be invisible if we need to...I'm pretty sure.

when you find one, I'll be the happiest admin on the server. Having to use cloaks is VERY annoying. being detectable by Ai and people with thermal googles is even worse.

Haven't tried it, but set var invisible = 1
visible = 0?

Even if that doesn't work, just switching your icon may work..

Arrest the admin!

The variables visible and invisible does absolutely nothing.

Will try icon states next session.

Though I can hardly be blamed for having to be self-taught. =P

Is there an astroid station or something ingame? I haven't played for a bit and that screenshot you posted sure suggested it.

[Rift]

It's something that people have been throwing around as a idea, but i think a lot[code-wise] still needs to be done before it would be viable...

That was actually just a resprited shuttle. I was trying to show a way to make a airlock that did not eject you into space with the force of a artillery shell.

[quinnr]

Hmm...I wonder...

If I open the escape pod airlock, after the air speed is set to INF, will it slingshot me to the other side of the escape bay?

[zchris13]

I don't think so. Anyway, we need a server first.

Try invisibility set to 101. However, then you will be literally invisible to the game(people can neither see nor <verb> you, you don't even show up in the right click menu) and can probably only be restored through one of the dialogues that lets you select yourself from a list of everything on the station...

</atom>.invisibility = 100
can be seen with
</mob?>.<see_invis?> = 100
but an invisibility of 101 can never be seen.
(You can find this all in the official documentation.)

Server = up.
Serious admin attitude = on.

Layer = 0. Can still be seen through walls with thermals though.

Layer = 0. Can still be seen through walls with thermals though.

Won't work: They will appear in the right-click menu of anyone, revealing their presence.

[ReaperSWE]

what about icon = null?

[qwertyuiopas]

Both solutions of no icon or a layer below all turf would "work", in the way that you wouldn't appear graphically, but would fail in the sense that you would appear as a target for any command and would appear in the right-click menu.

invisibility var (atom)
See also:
invisibility setting (verb)
opacity var (atom)
see_invisible var (mob)
sight var (mob)
view proc
Default value:
0
Possible values:
0 to 101
This determines the object's level of invisibility. The corresponding mob variable see_invisible controls the maximum level of invisibility that the mob may see.

A value of 101 is absolutely invisible, no matter what, and it is filtered from all lists of possible values for verb arguments. This is intended for objects that exist purely for some internal purpose, such as "verb containers".
