Make a area unaccesable

[777devil777]

I was snooping through my object DB when I came upon some gos from WoW Alpha back when Ironforge had elevators.

I tried spawning one but I instantly crashed, any time I tried to log back on that character I would get a crash too.

I brought another character to the location and when he got within 20yards of the elevator he was locked too.

I summoned them both out while they were offline and they were fixed.

To sum it up, if you really want an area 100% unaccesable...

.go spawn 32057 1

Now only the admin can go there because YOU are the only one with acess to the DB and can disable them (Go to .go spawns and delete all the 32057 or just edit if their enabled)

On my server you have to do all sorts of mazes to obtain gear so by putting these 30yards away from the maze stoped model editors and other hackers from getting gear for no work :wave:

That's dumb, what if a high lvl go there and never can log on the character again... -_- and you will need to port him out..

Good for creating an area near a maze to prevent hackers and exploiters from cheating to win. Not good however for walling off an area, but game objects like this have been posted before.

Nice, but i would go for an Inviable wall
A lot easy and it does not crash and needed to port them back out
Thanks for Helping

I wonder why you spawn objects while testing with "1" ...

I wonder why you spawn objects while testing with "1" ...

Is that a question? It saves it into your database so you don't have to do it manually.

[Rake2]

Umm no its not a question i just wondered why hes saving objects while testing.. i never do that im scared of errors like this

[777devil777]

Lol, I never test with 1, I put the 1 because alot of people dont know it saves to db by that.

Btw, the reason I dont use invisible walls to stop model editors is because they can model edit through invisible walls or make them have no collision.

I use one because it's simply a good habit to get into. In my early days I had no idea how to save GOs, so I had been accustomed not to use a one, but yeah, I simply use it all the time so I don't forget to use it on another occasion.

[Illidan1]

Lol Very true, when I'm Testing
I don't put a "1" because once
I was testing out some trees and the server crashed
i was humm normal crash so i restarted server and then
the Server wouldn't register and then the next 4 weeks trying to fix it
and then i found out i couldn't, so i just Screwed up my Server
because of spawning To much Gameobject's (I had alot...)

lol had a bad 4 weeks

Having alot of go's doesnt effect your server much, its prolly some bugged go.

I backed up my server once and 56% of the go's in my server was tables. (I started pulling hair out)

[Succy]

Agree... Its just stupid to use the "1"...
Now Im saying this because im to tired of making own lists atm xD... Maybe members of MMOwned together could make list of items that makes "The server" crash or lock your character... Could be good ! So if you like this idea... feel free to post :P

[weaselking1973]

well putting a normal wall up and that GO on the other side of the wall would deffinatly stop any and all hackers... by the time they scripted past that first wall they would crash as soon as they attempted anything else

Maybe if you could read you would understand what he is saying...

Its a good idea, but I've tried this before and honestly its too much risk/hassle to deal with even if you are testing imo. Good concept though.
