Watched map areas

Base Radars for DayZ Communities

Mark bases, PVP arenas, faction territory, trader areas, raid zones, or restricted places with channels, owners, roles, whitelists, alerts, and optional bans.

Area rules

Base Radars turn map areas into Discord-managed rules.

A circle radar uses one X,Z point and a radius. A polygon radar uses three or more X,Z points for towns, compounds, and uneven event areas.

Each radar can have its own owner, alert channel, ping role, location display, whitelist, and separate ban toggles for build, kill, death, entry, logout, or disconnect events.

Base Radar example
A Base Radar watches a defined area and sends the right records to Discord.

Zone rule examples

A faction base can alert its owners, a raid zone can notify staff, and a PVP arena can have different punishment rules from the surrounding PVE map.

For players, it makes rules easier to trust because staff can point to a defined zone instead of arguing over rough locations.

Create and edit radars

Use /base radar create for both circle and polygon zones. A single X,Z coordinate with a radius makes a circle; three or more coordinate pairs make a polygon.

After creation, use /base radar list to confirm the zone ID and /base radar edit when the boundary, channel, owner, role, ping, location display, or ban toggles need changing.

Use /base radar whitelist for players who should be ignored by that radar's zone bans.

Autoban functionality

Running PVE with PVP zones

Base Radars let an owner run a mostly PVE server while still allowing fighting inside marked PVP zones. The important part is that the whole-map rule and the zone rule are separate controls.

  1. Set the wider server rule with /settings autoban config. Use Kill to ban killers outside approved PVP areas, Death for one-life style victim bans, or Off for review without automatic bans.
  2. Create each PVP area with /base radar create. Use a circle for simple arenas and a polygon for towns, castles, trader surroundings, or uneven event areas.
  3. For that PVP zone radar, set ban_on_kill to Off. That tells Legion not to autoban normal PVP kills inside that marked zone.
  4. Leave the wider PVE rule active outside the radar. A player killing outside the marked PVP zone can still trigger the PVE autoban rule, while fighting inside the zone is treated as allowed.
  5. Use /base radar list to confirm the zone and /base radar edit if the boundary or ban toggles need adjustment.

For servers advertising PVE map with PVP zones: protect the whole map, mark the PVP areas, and review each kill against the radar boundary.

Setup guardrails

  • Do not use GPS-style map labels when the command asks for X and Z world coordinates.
  • Use alert-only zones for staff review. Use autoban toggles only for written rules.
Base Radar intruder alert

Intruder alerts show the radar that fired.

The intruder alert is the normal review side of a radar: who entered, which base or area was involved, and where staff should look.

Base Radar PVP alert

PVP alerts mark kills inside the allowed zone.

For mixed-rule servers, this is the visible proof that a kill happened inside the marked PVP area instead of the protected PVE map.

Base Radar kill alert

Kill alerts are review context before they are punishment.

Leave ban_on_kill off when the zone allows combat. Turn it on only when the area rule says kills inside that radar should be banned.

Create

/base radar create

Use this for circles and polygons. The coordinate format decides the shape.

Maintain

/base radar edit

Use this when the shape, owner, channel, role, location display, base ping, whitelist, or ban toggles need updating.

Audit

/base radar list

Use this after creating a radar so staff can confirm the zone ID and current settings before enforcing bans.

Base Radar zone bans

Use /base radar create, not separate custom-zone pages.

Create a radar with coords, zone_owner, optional channel and role settings, and only the ban toggles that match the area rule. X,Z plus a radius creates a circular radar. X,Z;X,Z;X,Z creates a polygon radar when three or more coordinate pairs are provided.

Use /base radar edit to change the owner, channel, shape, role, location display, ping setting, and ban toggles later. Use /base radar whitelist for players who should be exempt from that specific zone's bans.

Base Radar ban toggles

Each radar can stay alert-only or ban automatically for specific event types.

Toggle Turn it on for Leave it off for
ban_on_build Protected bases, no-build areas, staff-only structures. Normal bases where owners or faction members build inside the radar.
ban_on_kill No-kill areas, PVE protection zones, restricted event spaces. Allowed PVP zones. This is the key setting for PVE maps with marked PVP areas.
ban_on_death One-life style zones where the victim is banned after dying inside the radar. Normal PVE anti-kill rules where the killer should be handled with ban_on_kill.
ban_on_entry Restricted zones where entering is the offence. Faction bases, trader zones, or arenas where entry only needs an alert.
ban_on_logout Small restricted areas where logging out inside the zone breaks the rule. Large zones where normal disconnects would catch innocent players.
location Radar posts that should include location detail. Public channels where exact locations expose bases or hidden event areas.
base_ping Radar posts that should mention the assigned role. Quiet staff logs or high-volume zones where pings would spam Discord.

Commands and options

Copy the command name, then fill in the Discord options listed under it. Discord shows the option fields after the command is selected.

/base radar create
  • coords: X,Z for a circle, or X,Z;X,Z;X,Z for a polygon.
  • radius: used for a circle radar.
  • zone_owner: owner name shown for the radar.
  • zone_channel: optional Discord channel for alerts.
  • zone_role: optional role to ping.
  • location: Exact, Near, No Link, Near No Link, or Off depending on how much location detail should show.
  • ban_on_build, ban_on_kill, ban_on_death, ban_on_entry, ban_on_logout, ban_on_disconnect: turn on only the bans that match that area rule.
  • base_ping: controls whether the configured role/channel is pinged.
/base radar list
  • No extra typed fields.
/base radar edit
  • Select the existing radar, then change owner, channel, shape, role, location display, pings, or ban toggles.
/base radar whitelist
  • setting: Add, Remove, or View.
  • gamertag: player name or comma-separated player names for that radar exception list.
/settings autoban config
  • mode: choose Kill, Death, or Off. Kill bans the killer for PVE anti-kill rules. Death bans the player who died for one-life style rules. Off leaves the map-wide autoban rule disabled.
