ET Jay #1 Disable !spec restrictions

[RASHOMON]

Currently on Jay1, you cannot !spec someone who has same or higher level as you. I don't really see why this restriction exists in the first place, what bad could come out from spectating someone? Also, it is circumventable by /follow [ing] the player instead but it comes to the cost of having to type/players then look for the player number then type /follow [number]. It simply penalizes beginners who do not know about this trick and who probably manually cycle through players to find the one they are looking for. 

Let's get rid of this!

Hey .i see ur point here 

but ,,,,,,

since u can do !spec [Floki] u can do also /follow floki without my slot u just need to remeber the name well thats all 

so no big problem i guess

But you need to /follow the whole name and some are impossible and it's too long to copy while you only need to !spec the discriminant part of the name. I really don't see why I would have to follow instead of specing anybody ^^

In nq we don't have!spec command so we do /follow flo so u follow me 

No need to enter the whole name just in case there's 2 similar names (very similar)

Yes you're making a valid point. We should have !spec command for everybody on this server. It's the same as doing /follow but faster. By the way, basic commands should appear on the console messages to teach beginners how to use them. I'm refering to the recruiting messages, and occasional automatic messages that appear on the chat about team balance and stuff.

this might take sum time to get changed.  not 100 percent certain but i think only dare can change this setting. an i think hes had RL issues this passed yr and not been around much.

 

i also see no reason for specing players to be restricted by a level.

 

maybe there is a valid reason but , i agree with u rashomon .maybe @RNGesus could elaborate on why this is set this way on jay1.

It seems to me that Jaymod just prevents lower-levels admins from executing commands like !kick !mute and thus !spec on higher-levels admins to prevent abuse, meaning administrative actions only work on downward levels. 
It most likely is an automatic setting for all !commands and Jaymod simply doesn’t distinguish types of commands and just sees them all as equals.

 

if anywhere it should most likely be changed in the shrubbot file. Not sure if you can change this setting per type of command. Not into programming 😅

Not that this is much faster, but you can /follow their player number as well.

 

/Players -get slot ##

/Follow ##

 

To be honest, this was the only way I knew how to spec people before joining FA

But when they are dead, the command "/follow [player]" doesn't do anything, whereas "!spec [player]" does spec the player, even during respawn time.
