Wire Hurtfield

[Calypso]

So I and a friend have been toying with this idea.
A wired hurt-field. its technically simple, I'm certain. the idea is that you input the GPS coordinates, the on/off value and a radius, and it will hurt/kill anyone in that area it covers.

accepting that mingery is probably extremely likely, I plan to make it admin only (assuming I get the lua skill to make the thing)
I'm looking for similar devices, so far I'm looking at combining attributes of the cam controller, for the XYZ coord-ness. and some kind of radius based area effect pain. I dunno where from :P.

if anyone can give me advice, snippets of code, or anything like that..heck, the whole thing would be wonderful if its not too long.
I'd be really appreciative

thanks all

I like it!
Maybe if you used a radius range, you could build a forcefield sort of thing. And it can fry and destroy props. I see potential in this idea.

instead of letting it get placed anywhere using coordinates have it require a central sent of some kind (the fields emitter if you will), that combined with a strikt limit (1 emitter, max field size) should minimize possible mingyness or admin-abuse (I know a few admins who would love nothing more then to put a killzone right on top of players )

bad.

bad bad bad bad bad.

Forcefield Generator.

good good good.

vaporize props + players on edge.


still ad/min/ge abusable.

This will be in Version 2 of the Field Generator, which will be released in 1 or 2 days.

Wire - Field Generator

It will be one of the new Fields.
I'm adding is the 'Crushing Field' which is pretty much what the equivalent of your Hurt Field.
