I realize this was once posted here https://www.skial.com/threads/admin-player-resize-command-for-trade-idle.70250/#post-709683


However for whatever reason it was never implemented so I decided to create a new suggestion for it.

This would of course only be for trade/idle.

Now, I don't believe it should be as small as RTD does, maybe like a 25-50% reduction in size, and only 25% larger size. This could also be put into the store as a purchasable perk for like 50k credits or so, but I believe donators should have complete access to this. A lot of people love the resize ability, and I see a lot who ask for it, so why not add it to the donator ability? It could bring in quite a bit more donators.

I asked on discord for the shop, but bottigers reply was that it was easy to exploit maps with it and people complained about it alot. But if you gather enough support why not, I was in favor of it too when we talked about those shop perks.

We used to have it as a class perk on Deathrun. People complained a lot that you could use it to get through cracks in the map and I would imagine the complaints would be widespread if it was enabled on other servers.

It is also harder to hit a smaller model so people would complain about that too.

A more reasonable idea would be to let people resize heads instead.

But we can't allow people to change it too much or people will complain it is harder to get headshots on them? Maybe only allow people to enlarge their heads.

Is it possible to put resized players in a friendly state, unable to take damage, attack and use weapons? That could prevent several factors of abuse and still allow players to enjoy being resized.

Isn't friendlying against the rules, and if you wanted it on all servers wouldn't that waste time on stuff such as VSH where hale could just be invincible until the times runs out...

None of this matters if it's only on trade/idle though?

He's suggesting this for trade/idle.

What I have seen other servers do is while resizing to a smaller size your damage is decreased but speed is increased (damage significantly decreased of course) and while bigger your damage is increased and movespeed is decreased, I'm sure there could be some balance that you could find with the right stat changes to make both sizes and normal feasible but I don't know that's just what I've seen.

People complained about it on both trade and idle. Also it is very easy to exploit friendly which is why we removed the plugin.

What about allowing players full killing capabilities with it but make it short duration and make it purchasable in the skial shop with credits

As in you can purchase say 10 minutes with a tiny player model for X amount of credits so you can run around and kill people while small but it wears off in a short time frame

And since its available through credits anyone can get it
