would it be possible to add a config to stop staff members from hurting animals, buildings, players, npc when using the radar

Sure.

thats awesome im sure its something a lot of server owners would like and players knowing this function is there stops staff members abusing the mod
oh. also a cooldown funtion when the radar has been disabled would be a nice idea
