Vac ban system. - Developers

Ok guys, So I'd like to make a system that detects if someone has a vac ban, then disconnects them on initialize. [code] function GM:Initialize() If player has a vac ban --I know, not real code. print("Go away, you failed.") RunConsoleCommand("disconnect") then Print ("Account Verified.") end [/code] I know this might be dumb, but please if anyone knows a way, let me know, thanks!

Don't run this stuff clientside, they can cheat this. The general rule is "never trust clients". You should make this script serverside; and use playerauth or playerconnect hook, instead.

Just because someone has a vac ban, doesn't mean they should not be allowed in your server. What if someone got banned falsely? I know, they may have hacked in the past but they'd be stupid to do it again.

Can I ask why? Being banned for cheating in different games (and probably a long time ago) shouldn't affect how they play GMod. I know it doesn't reflect well but the last ban could've been six years ago.

I'm in total agreement with everyone else who posted in this thread, but it's not a reason to deny him access to the information. Using [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1400043"]GSAPI[/URL] you can get most of the information about a player from Steam servers, including Community bans and VAC Bans. Like everyone else has said though, there's [URL="https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7849-RADZ-6869#vacgames"]a reason VAC works the way it does[/URL].

VAC is permanent. I know few people who are older than 13 year olds, who cheated about a 5 years ago when they were young. Now, they absolutely hate hacking. Stop generalizing those kids that joined your server with an aimbot, and get a decent anti cheat instead.

It's been disputed if VAC is even "enabled" on Garry's mod.

I do have Anti Hacks, but every ten days a new hack comes out for these little skids to go on servers (with their vac ban ) and aim/speed hack, so I would like for them to be eliminated from the server before they turn on their hacks.

I won't drag this conversation out any longer since you're pretty dead set on generalizing all people who have VAC bans, but if you do plan on implementing a system like this, at least check the days since their last ban. There are some people who have [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/id/nickthehorse"]over two and a half years[/URL] since their last VAC ban, and you'd be blindly denying them access to the server.

You just compared hacking with murder. :v: I think that says everything that needs to be said. The coding resources have been provided to you. Do what you must.

-that's me in the spotlight, losing my religion-

[QUOTE=elixwhitetail;45752314]Okay, let me rephrase, since I didn't realize I was dealing with someone who made it to high school, because you are correct. The way you're treating VAC-banned users is the very embodiment of the ideals of the Third Reich. Have some hyperbole while you're at it.[/QUOTE] Embodiment and Ideals? That's a bit redundent, since Embodiment is the form of ideas and ideals is the principle and priciple is the basis (formed of the ideas) So what you are saying is: The way you're treating VAC-banned users is the very idea of the ideas of the Third Reich. Rate dumb if you're an idiot.

Does anyone remember that one Coderhire job by a guy who had a VAC ban and also wanted a script to stop people with VAC bans from joining because people don't change apart from THIS ONE GUY I really hope OP is the same person

[QUOTE=Frozendairy;45752204]narrow minded people as yourselves.[/QUOTE] There needs to be an "ironic" rating.

You really don't know everything that goes on behind a VAC ban. I'm 90% sure you once tried to use some hack or cheat on a game, whatever game it may be, even if it was 10 years ago. That doesn't give us the right to kick you off our server automatically for no reason even though it was a different game, ages ago, no backstory behind it, and because we are just assholes

I laughed my ass off reading Frozendairys posts, thank you for that. But on the more serious side, I still don't think all people that have been VAC banned years ago will hack again.

A hacker is a hacker. That's it. You're logic is flawed if you believe that someone can change because they want to join a server. They should automatically be kicked off of a server and have all of their keys unbinded. [code] RunConsoleCommand("unbindall") print("Go away, you failed.") RunConsoleCommand("disconnect") [/code]

Irony of it all is, you're abusing your privilege as a server owner to unbind all of their keys just because they want to play a game? If anything, you're the one who shouldn't be allowed on any servers

You're logic is even more flawed. Oh, and, yeah, unbindall is a blocked console command. So good luck with that.
