Safety on Admin-verbs

Post by Sarah_U. » 12 Jul 2016, 01:24

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Add a safety toggle on admin verbs that can cause explosions and damage.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
It will prevent damage and accidents in scenarios where they are accidentally triggered without the intention of the admin in question, generally leading to a safer approach to using it.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Add the safety within the admin menu. If an admin toggle it off he/she can freely blow any tiles clicked whatsoever.
If the safety is on, the admin is prompted with a message to know if he/she wants the effect to occur.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Condition on dangerous effects, boolean on toggle, new admin verb to manipulate boolean.
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

Admin clicks on ground shuttle console and destroys by accident.

That happened once awhile ago

There are safeties built in to certain verbs, though this isn't a bad idea overall. This does seem like a really odd suggestion coming from someone who doesn't admin the server though. Locked and resolved.
