    Hello, many of us on Fortress of Gamers are very familiar with the /benefits system. It allows us to buy fake unusual effects, donator perks, and the hat colours that we were promised, that don't actually have anything in the menu. (thanks, nerdname). Anyway, I was thinking of a system, where, with some shop plugins, there is the ability to "donate" points to other players, such as if you wanted to give a budy 100 points for that fake unusual effect he wants to buy. I'd like to see that implemented.

    Also, I understand if this may seem stupid to you, as your butt is filled with requests for servers right now.

    The outcome of this suggestion depends on two things:

    Is there a purpose to this?
    Will it be too hard to implement?

    I personally think that it's a sweet idea.

    The purpose to this implementation is to assist in creating bonds between multiple players, and to help those who are kind to you. It could be for a reward too, like giving a player some for achieving something, or following a certain rule, etc, etc. The possibilities are endless.

    This would probably be a pain in the butt to implement, as it requires information to be sent from player-to-player.

    Don't worry, you made your suggestion clear and easy to understand.

    We can only wait to see what noname has to say.

    I might have an idea of how it would work, but it depends on how the data is saved for everyone's points

    Seen this before and it's certainly not a bad idea. This could definitely assist with relations between players.

    It could be a situation of the person sends the items first :3 Then we can ban the person for scamming etc. And reimburse the victim with the amount of points they would have got. Anyways its all hypothetical.

    I have already modified the base AP plugin to support gifting, only requires another plugin for a menu/actually calling the function.
    No ETA on that.

    Sorry for the very long delay, but I have finally came around installing this plugin.
    It is actually not fully installed yet, but will be after the next tf2 update (once the master/slaves synchronize).

    The command will then be !giftap.
    After sending that command, a menu will open where you select the person you want to give AP, the amount (custom ones are supported to) and finally, a confirmation window.
