First of all: Yes I am aware of the potential misuse one could do if one had full access to the filesystem or even the Operating System which is why
and
most likely have been blocked from any use.
My use-case is not directly connected to the in-game UI but will involve a button to turn the feature I have in mind. This would be a service one could log-on to with a discord-server which would then either adjust the volumes of active people or move them in seperate channels based on the distance they are apart from each other which is something I would love to have and many RP-community members might agree.
However I already fail at one of the easier steps (at least based on what I was hoping): Somehow getting a location change out of the game so that I can use it in an external (web)service to proceed further on.
By now I failed using os, io and luasql.mysql.
The variable file could in theory only be used when the addon is unloaded which would make smaller location changes impossible to track.
I cannot see any problem with accessing a database from the first place (maybe I am missing anything though) as the change could only be observed by external programs that would have to run on the machine as well or on a webservice that could not directly harm the machine.
Another idea would be a (flag-)file with maximum one line of content that could be detected (which then would require an external program as well).
