this is an old method ... use "addForce" instead if (local bob) then { [] spawn { bob addForce [bob vectorModelToWorld [0,-200,0], bob selectionPosition "rightfoot"]; sleep 5; bob setUnconscious false; }; };

Updated to 1.5.1 Stability & bug fixes * Due to the massive number of code changes, 1.5.x is still in beta. Expect bugs, fixes, etc. [ADDED] Ability for Zeus to raise/lower placed buildings/structures/fortifications with [-] and [+] keys (on selected structures).

[FIXED] Admins were not able to lock their own group [FIXED] Non-pilots could fly jets even when role was restricted to pilot-only in parameters. [FIXED] Deployable virtual cargo was available even after deployable packed up. [FIXED] Fixed bug in enemy jet pylon handling. May have been causing cascade failure in AI system and preventing AI cleanup after AO. [FIXED] Spawn vehicle-protection zone was not functioning. * In addition to bug fixes, we will be working on language translation and documentation in the coming days.

Just a note, if you are working with latest build, there are and will be bugs. Keep on top of ongoing fixes by keeping up to date with recent commits: https://github.com/auQuiksilver/Apex-Framework/commits/master

^ showcases a few of the new logistics systems

Integrated graphics and Nvidia GeForce Now works great too. just $20/mo or whatever, no need for a rig.

in my experience, is best to just trust your team and give them full access. tell them if their actions cause people to leave the server they'll be removed tell them that to keep their zeus they need to run a 2-3hr op once a week for however many people are on

awesome work lads that "selectionVectorDirAndUp" is a game changer for stuff like this

actually a decent idea to run hideobject locally on each machine
