Bring back !takeknife 12 members have voted

This function was on the servers forever and a day ago, and was removed. If I recall correctly, everyone said Valve didn't like it.

 

Recently, I was shown this webpage.

 

http://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/server_guidelines/

 

The webpage contains this quote.

 

Assuming that I’m not granting an item that a player does not own:

-Is it ok to have a “remove all weapons”/“hide knife” function on a server?

-Is it ok to have a “knife drop”/“knife switch” function that allows a player to drop their knife (that they own) so another player can pick it up?

Both of these functions are fine. There are some game modes where it makes sense to have unarmed players (e.g., surf), and in a trading server being able give a player your knife to inspect is fine too. In general, letting players use what they own in a new way isn’t a problem.

 

 

Can we bring the !takeknife function back?

What they are referring to is when a player drops his knife, so he no longer has it, and picks up a different player's knife. So they switch. !takeknife COPIES the person, so both of you have it. Which isn't allowed.

Nope, I can't be sure if they are saying "Yes, you can use custom weapon skins" or saying "No, you can't" because #2 that I quoted makes it seem like you can't but striking out that quote makes you think its allowed. So its better to be on the safe side and say its not allowed.

 

^ Better to not take the risk.

Could we use a plugin that does a sort of trade system?

 

!takeknife evol

 

Evol then sees in chat: Enderspine wants to trade knives with you, type !takeknife accept to accept.

 

!takeknife accept

 

Knives swap.

 

Confetti falls from the ceiling

 

Then, at the beginning of the next round, everyone spawns with their own knives

They have that on the sG trading server. Not sure if it's allowed or not though.

This would be allowed yes.

!takeknife is still unapproved so I wouldn't add it back,

!switchknife this should be fine if an AO+ wants to add it @arottenpickle, @Black Rain, @Vick, @Goku

[Ender]

Or, we could implement a command that drops a player's knife upon typing it. !dropknife, knife thuds against ground. We would have to give the knife the same properties as the C4 explosive, so they cant get shot around.

I'd be fine adding takeknife to PB. I'll let pickle decide if he wants to add it to TTT or not but I don't see any harm in it.

@Enderspine I won't add dropknife to PB since that's just going to cause a rule to be made saying CTs can't make Ts drop their knife and overall you're just asking for trouble. Not sure about our other servers tho.

Yeah, I had just considered that, and that was partially in mind when I added the C4 properties part.
