| 00:03.16 | macsforme | is the shot limit sent now in a way that would allow it to be re-sent during the game? or would it actually require a new protocol message |

| 00:33.42 | Delusional | Iâve been making a map that I think would be pretty nice for it. Sixteen teleporters in a circle, connected to sixteen telporters near the world edges. Iâve set a drivethrough arc inside the teleporter circle that reflects all incoming shots back out, so you canât shoot into the circle from outside. |
| 00:34.51 | Delusional | Right now Iâve made , inside the tele circle, a bunch of smaller, drivethrough circles so if you fire while inside the tele circle, youâll kill yourself. |
| 00:35.33 | Delusional | would be better to just prohibit firing while inside the âNeutral Zoneâ or DMZ |
| 00:37.06 | Zehra | I'm probably going to sound somewhat stupid, but this gives me a bit of an idea. |
| 00:37.19 | Zehra | Maybe setting the shot types in that zone to "PZ"? |
| 00:37.49 | Delusional | that might work, actually |
| 00:39.36 | Zehra | I also know there is something which can prohibit shooting, but really isn't a solution.... |
| 00:40.00 | Zehra | If the shot speed or distance is set per player to be a completely different value or something... |
| 00:40.20 | Zehra | So basically to all other tanks, that tank appears to stop shooting. |
| 00:41.03 | Zehra | "I didn't consider it before, but the fact that some of the variables cause bullets not to shoot anymore could actually be used to take advantage of preventing players from shooting." |
| 00:41.20 | Zehra | https://forums.bzflag.org/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=18134 |
| 01:16.13 | macsforme | that doesn't allow for normal shots to exist outside the zone while preventing shots from being fired inside it |
| 01:23.59 | Zehra | There basically isn't any way in 2.4.x to prevent shooting. |
| 01:25.18 | allejo | I *think* the shot count is part of the world itself, which there is no way to update it without a force redownload |
| 01:50.50 | Zehra | Does the API contain a function to send endshots? |
| 01:52.47 | blast007 | macsforme: the shot limit is never "sent". the server just zaps their flag and the rest is chat messages. |
| 01:53.29 | blast007 | unless you're referring to the -ms setting and not -sl |
| 01:54.40 | blast007 | the -ms is value is sent as part of the MsgGameSettings |
| 01:57.57 | blast007 | and resending that will trigger the client to request the world hash again, which will make the client download the world again... |
| 01:58.20 | Delusional | the way the PZ shot-changer works, will actually work for me. The shooting player sees a regular shot, but the server sends pz shot-type to everyone else. |
| 01:58.33 | Delusional | need to add a zone to it |
| 02:59.41 | Zehra | I might have a plug-in ready. |
| 02:59.51 | Zehra | just needs to see if everything compiles and works |
| 03:05.37 | JeffM | No the api does not expose endshots |
| 03:07.59 | Zehra | :/ |
| 03:09.01 | Zehra | There goes my idea for "preventing" shots. |
| 03:09.13 | JeffM | <PROTECTED> |
| 03:10.09 | JeffM | The protocol needs many changes to be more extensible |
