Allow players to send message to admin ingame

[lima]

Hi

 

I've seen on some servers, that players are able to send a message to admins in case of fx. hackers or server problems. It seems to work by using !admin <message> in sidechat. I'm not sure how the message is delivered to the admins.

 

How could I go about setting something like that up? BEC? arma script?

 

Any ideas and advice is appreciated. If it turns out to be possible without altering too much, I'll write it and share it here.

With BEC you can create special commands such as !rules !upt etc, so yes I think it is possible via BEC. But me and BEC aren't really friends :P

 

Yeah, I was thinking that as well, but I'm not sure how I would pass the message/data variables from BEC to a script, which then could send a email. If thats even the way to do it :-) That's why I'm looking for ideas :-)

That's most commonly used through BEC to send a message to designated admins on a teamspeak server.  There's actually a sample of this TS BEC plugin in the standard BEC installation, with an explanation of how to use it.
