Disable takes by low ranked players

[Floris]

... because talking to them often doesnt help. Explaining how to share is even a greater pain.


Make it so that the 1/3 of lowest ranks cant take?

ba gadget request me thinks

[SirMaverick]

Should be implemented mod side, but needs a new callin. There is none called atm.

[Licho]

Does not need calling.

Gadget transfers to gaia + interface to allow take by selected players

[Google_Frog]

So the only question left is can you block engine take?

[Licho]

Yes by transfering stuff to gaia!

That's not blocking. That's a workaround.

How about AllowUnitTransfer and AllowResourceTransfer?

[Niobium]

I think it would be best if the engine take was removed completely, and replaced by an equivalent gadget implementation. This would allow people to customize it however they wanted, e.g. rank limits, time limits, only-combat-units, etc. The spring calls to do this already exist.

In the mean time it seems possible to block engine takes by using :AllowUnitTransfer and :AllowResourceTransfer to block transfers from inactive teams (likely an engine take), unless some flag was set (for gadget take). Not too bad really.

[the above]

as long as they can still take when there's nobody high ranked around.
