Chatbox Invulnerability Toggle

[Soh Raun]

This is more of a policy suggestion than a mod suggestion, because a server Cvar exists to configure chat protection globallly.

/rcon set rp_chatProtection 1 - invulnerability enabled
/rcon set rp_chatProtection 0 - invulnerability disabled

Obviously you need to have someone with Rcon access (any HC or server owner) to help you during the mission (in game or on instant messaging networks).

In that case, the discussion of this topic in this fashion is closed and finished.

If it's toggable, I suppose it's okay. I don't really support the idea though. If you're typing, you're typing. Can't really help taking that long to type, realistically you wouldn't take that long to say/do whatever you are typing, so you need that protection so people don't take advantage or get 'trigger happy'. Oh well, you have to wait or your shooting 'groove' has been interrupted, move on and find something else, it's what I've done a few times to avoid being entirely unfair. There's a time and place for typing, comes down to the person and the environment, up to them whether they decide to appropriately take the time or feel the need to type something or they don't and choose inappropriately. Don't think they should suffer because of that though, including the other points. It is roleplay after all, and sometimes makes a difference between pure TFFA and a decent roleplay-combat situation, hey they could be giving orders or something like that...

But yes, if they choose to allow the invulnerability to be turned off, then they're aware of the risk that exist now and such, yada and so forth, lol.
