The flag ladder

The flag ladder

What happens on flag 1, 2, 3 and beyond: steps, stages inside a flag, commands, templates, and the guard against double bans.

4 min

Every flag is a step. On each step you put together what happens to the player: cut their damage, lag them, kick, ban or run your own command. Set it up in the preset: “Suppression” → “By flags” → “Configure”.

“+”: every later flag repeats the last step.

VL 0

Flags vs stages

Don’t mix them up. Flag 2 means the player filled the buffer a second time, so they cheated again. Stages are what happens after a single flag, all at once or one after another. Say, on flag 1: −50 % damage for 30 seconds right away, then a kick as the next stage. The next stage starts when the longest effect of the previous one ends.

Templates

TemplateWhat’s inside
SoftCombat suppression on two flags, a ban on the third.
StrictKick on the first flag, ban on the second.
No bansSuppression only, stronger with each flag.

You can save your own ladder as a template and use it in all your presets. After “Apply”, remember to save the preset itself.

Commands

  • Ban, kick or your own command (tempban, mute, anything) runs as the console. Bans come with an animation by default.
  • Placeholders: {PLAYER} is the name, {VL} the flag number, {PROBABILITY} the confidence written like 0.97, {BUFFER} the buffer.
  • Commands in later stages still run on time even if the player logs out, so leaving doesn’t dodge a delayed ban.
  • If two punishments hit the same player within 5 seconds, the second one’s commands are skipped. Its effects still apply.
