Non-moderators/admins able to use vanish or not?

Do a user need to be either an admin or moderator for the plugin to work?

I am stalking a group I suspect is cheating, when they shoot random arrows at eachother their characters flick the last nano-second before the arrow leaving the crossbow and the arrow goes straight towards me. This has happened to me when I've given myself ownerid, moderatorid and even removed both statuses.

So what is going on here? Are they cheating? Or why are their arrows going straight towards me when they shouldn't be able to even see me.

unless u gave them permission then no they cant use it
if they see u while u are in vanish mode then something is wrong.
Do u see the ghost icon on your screen when u r in vanish mode ???

Yes when I had myself set as ownerid (admin) I gave myself all permissions with "oxide.grant user xxxxxxx etc", I can toggle it and everything. I get the icon.

So when I was watching over people I started noticing that some of them are shooting arrows at me, seemingly when trying to shoot other things as other players/barrels. So are they using some kind of cheat? Or can they see me and the plugin is broken for me? Only some players can see me, so my guess is the former.

 

So I removed myself as admin, made myself moderator, same people can still see me even when vanished. And removed myself as moderator, they can still see me.

Or at least shoot arrows at me.

in vanish mode no player should be able to see you.
Are you going in vanish mode near them as they may hear the sound it makes when u switch
In response to tomhud ():

Are you going in vanish mode near them as t...

I have disabled the sound effect, my understanding is that the sound effect was heard globally so I disabled it in the config .json

So my only conclusion is that they have some kind of aimbot that senses me, because they could be aiming at a barrel and the instant they release their arrow they turn towards me and the arrow comes flying.
