Gmod Slay Bug

[blazedd]

There is a problem in gmod if you use an "!" in your slay command. I don't know if this works in kick or ban. So if there is a player named !--Minge--! and you use "!slay !--Minge--!" the entire server will be slain. This could cause some serious problems.

why wouldn't you just use !slay Minge

or use quotes around it. ie !slay "Minge"

[blazedd]

Because not everyone knows about using quotes and this was an example. I've seem Veterans and new Admin alike do it. This was just an example.

Another workaround is.. use UIDs?

If you type status into the console, you will get a printout of users on the server with their respective < UIDs.. SteamIDs etc...my understanding is that if you use console and slay someone... it'll be like this

 

ulx slay #nn...

If that works, I still don't see an issue. I understand this goes back to the mapping of shorthands, e.g. in CSS !slay @me

 

@me is the shorthand for current user... etc...

I don't see this as a very problematic thing and honestly, it's not going to be an issue since most people have names that don't start with !. Otherwise you can slay by UID, partial name or SteamID...

Well considering in Gmod Making an RP name is one command away and Gmod is notorious for minges.

I don't recall in which file, but somewhere in the dark rp base there is a list of forbidden characters. Just add !, problem solved.
