Combine ulx slap and ulx whip into one command

(1/1)

atomicspark:
It does seem to be a bit redundant to have two commands that basicaly do the same thing. Suggestion? Make it into one command!

Example, I want to slap megiddo once.


--- Code: ---ulx slap megiddo 100
--- End code ---

Now, I want to slap megiddo 10 times.


--- Code: ---ulx slap megiddo 100 10 1
--- End code ---

Note that the command has been switched around for compatibility. It's now slap megiddo for 100 points, 10 times, every 1 second. The old way was slap megiddo 10 times, every 1 sec, for 100 damage. This new way enables the last two values to be purely optional with default of 1 (just like damages default value is 0, if left off).

Why bother you ask? Ulysses motto is "Striving for Simplicity".

JamminR:
I understand and somewhat agree with your point of view atomicspark.
Majority of the slap access userbase on the 3 servers I admin on have no idea that slap even has inputs, let alone how to use them.
They get all excited when I use a whip.
Though the recode wouldn't be too difficult, I like the idea of keeping them separate more. I've seen many admins repeatedly screw up the whip command and end up whipping themself (or a poor abused player) for a long time. At least with a slap, they know its once.
