Ghost mode and invisibility #38

Closed AntonioMertz closed 6 months ago

AntonioMertz commented 6 months ago

When in Ghost mode, the user is visible to other players via teleportation or health replenishment selections. For the server administrator, this is critical in maintaining law and order. Is it possible to remove the ability to display the names of players who are near you in Ghost mode? Thanks

Hi @AntonioMertz ,

The ghost mode feature is actually an already defined feature in the game that my tool is only giving to the user without needing dev console/commands. This feature has been developed by the game devs to only be invisible to monsters, not players. To be able to implement this feature, it would require to develop a mod to be installed on the server (because the client alone cannot do it), that is out of scope of this project.

Kind regards, Astropilot

Thanks for the answer. I mean hiding the player name in Ghost is in your program. So that he is not visible in the list for teleporting or replenishing health for other players if he is in Ghost mode

Even in this case, it would mean everyone would be able to be "invisible" for all the other. So users could be "invisible" to admins too. As a reminder, even if this tool can be used as an administration helper, it has never been developed for it. It is a cheating mod. In a context of a dedicated server, users should not be able to simply use it at all, thanks to AntiCheat mods that are able to detect it. Otherwise everyone using my tool will put themself on ghost mode (even non-admin can do that) and no one will be targetable for any action, that would give even less possibility for the admins (like can't TP to a user)
