weapons and being paused

[Com013]

Weapons are stopped when you are paused. This is normally useful, because you shouldn't attack someone while being paused.
But for the display (hitpoints, explosions, ...) I would like a weapon to run even while I am paused. (I need it for explosions).
It could be solved by adding an ignorepause command. But of course, there must be a way to stop cheaters using it.

that is possibly the worst idea I have ever heard... pause is meant to take a break... so everything around you shouldnt affect you during that time

Yes bad idea.

Your in the middle of a quest.
OH NO EXPLOSION!
"IT'S GONNA KILL ME"
*pauses*
HAHA Dumb explosion.
*unpauses*
*slashes bad guy*
Your dead I win.

Of course it's a good idea.
Stops stuff like that happening.

but if that is implemented, pausing will be pointless, and won't have its intended effect.

But for quests it can be used.
Pauses in any quest takes out a lot of the difficulty and is just a cheap way round the quest which should be stopped if possible.

if its for a quest jsut use disablepause or enablefeatures, I think com wants it so pausing doesnt stop certain weapons from running, not so you can attack the player (I think)

He's only talking about clientside display stuff. When he refers to explosions, he means the graphical representation thereof. Readthinkpost, yo.

Exactly. The damage is done serverside anyway and checking for playerpaused.

No, just that you didn't read carefully (most people don't ).
