Theres a region called rs_access. On enter region, it gets the profile name of the person. If it's not my profile name, it will kill the person/detonate a grenade with push = 9999. I could even do thing like poison them or something xD. Whatever would work online though. Now you may ask, "well how do we keep someone from stealing someone else's identity?" The answer is that getProfileName does not get the GameSpy ID of the user. It gets the regular profile name (which IS NOT displayed online if you have a GSID). This means one could use the profile name as a "password" which nobody would know.

Theres a region called rs_access. Do I have to specify that in the LUA? how do I get an "rs_access" region? On enter region, it gets the profile name of the person. Is this the region that does this? Or the LUA command listed below? If it's not my profile name, it will kill the person/detonate a grenade with push = 9999. Is this automatic or do I have to put this in the lua myself? If I do, what is the command?I could even do thing like poison them or something xD. Whatever would work online though.

Ok, I've gotten it down to this:

Hidden/Spoiler:

OnEnterRegion(
function(regIn,character)
local name = getProfileName(character)
if name ~= "Genaral Nate" then
MoveEntityToNode(character,"gn_node3")
end
end,
"g_n_only"
)
ActivateRegion("g_n_only")

It doesn't work.

Am I missing anything? I have everything I need for the teleport BTW.

if name ~= "Genaral Nate" then

if name ~= "Genaral Nate" then

So, if someone has a name approximately equal to Genaral Nate, they get access to something?
