i know like your all saying drive to the side and everything drive slowly but it can be hard sometimes for example popped tyres, slow car this is the only reason i put this topic because people do use the ramps unnesscerly.
All the same some of the ideas are great:

Quote:If someone abuses it like that, there should be an admin command to stop them from using it
For example: /stopramp *id*
would stop them ramping until you do /unstopramp *id* and you could warn them to not abuse it again or they will have it stopped again.
Quote:So, if somebody doesn't use the ramp to fly, they're obviously only freezing somebody, which constitutes abuse in my book. Perhaps Jay could implement some sort of check system activated by a timer - if the player doesn't move up in the air <sometime> after the ramp is created, there should be a consequence, safe guard, or something else that's triggered. This wouldn't be as concrete of a solution, because not moving doesn't necessarily mean you were targeting somebody.
Another, probably safer solution would be to simply refuse to create a ramp if there are any players in the current arc of the vehicle's Z angle (that would be players right in front of it) while a player's vehicle is moving under a certain velocity. So, if you're moving slowly and there's a player in front of you, the ramp doesn't get created. It would check the vehicle's velocity against the speed at which that vehicle would not be able to stop short by braking. This would give faster cars an advantage, but would still universally work.
