Hi, This is my 3rd thread this day :D until i finded the place. Ok so o downloaded falcons prop protection and it works prefectly but there is one problem... I can protect a player from taking props from admin (myself), but i cant protect admin from taking props from another player. How do i do this cause the new prop protection looks complicated and even if i dont mark that admins can do stuf he can still touch other props.

[QUOTE=TornadoChas3r;31652139]Going to take a shot in the dark and say, you're trying to configure FPP, and turn on prop ghosting? If you're and admin just open your Q menu and go under Utilities --> Falco's Prop Protection --> and click the Admin settings. It's normal for admins to interact with players props but players should not be able to interact with anyone's props or entries but their own unless they are granted someones "Prop Protection". FPP has a good amount of settings, you will just have to mess with them to see what they do. Here's a few of those settings you may want to look at since they are related to the physics and the Anti-Spam options, which allows you to have props ghosted if they are too large... I'm guessing this is what you meant by "nocollide" [img]http://oi55.tinypic.com/2lay6g7.jpg[/img] If you want "Non-admins" to have the ability to move your props and such, just add them to your Buddy list (under Utilities --> Falcos Prop Protection --> Buddies) If you are an admin, but want to avoid unfreezing or touching someones prop by mistake just open the "Private settings" menu [img]http://oi52.tinypic.com/259ykjl.jpg[/img] Just mess around with the settings.. there are plenty to mess with, you will learn how to use it quickly. ..and if this was not what you wanted...then I'm not sure what you were asking. [editline]August,10,11[/editline] Forgot to mention this, but next time you post a help thread you should put it in the [url=http://www.facepunch.com/forums/16][b]Help & Support Section[/b][/url], don't want to risk your thread getting locked, your account banned or have everyone flame at you for this reason.[/QUOTE] For the sake of re-typing, this was from your thread in the General chat area. Not sure why would you need it disabled for admins, if you don't trust them I would find better admins, try using the "Private Settings" menu if you are worried about breaking someones contraption, otherwise you could try disabling "Admins can ____ all entities", each tab should have one of those options, but I think it would be alot easier to just use the private settings, or tell your admins to be a bit more careful Hope this helps some.

Is this: Well when my friend press Z it removes my items and his. And when i place for example a door that works on one button he can control it too, And the last thing is with the rtcamera when i place it on one button and my friend places it on another button, and when we place two screens (his and mine) it shows the same view and if he or me presses the rtcamera button it switches to his or mine. Sorry if im really anoying i really need help on these ones. And when you mentioned private settings i didin't find any thanks. P.S sorry if my English is bad.

[QUOTE=makzue;31656542]when i place for example a door that works on one button he can control it too[/quote] That's normal, unless you enable "Use" protection then only you and anyone on your "prop protection" list can use your buttons.

Its right near the Admin settings and Buddies menu, If you do not have it, try updating to the [url=http://falcospropprotection.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/]latest version of FPP[/url] (SVN is the best way to get the most up to date version).
