Safezone Enforcement
Define coordinate-based safezones. Alert admins and auto-ban players who kill inside them.
What it does
The Safezone Enforcement module lets you define specific areas on your server's map as protected zones. If a player kills another player inside one of those areas, Vigil posts an alert to Discord and optionally auto-bans the killer from your Nitrado server.
This is designed for servers with trader areas, starter zones, or any location where PvP should be prohibited.
Adding a zone
Click + Add Zone to open the zone creation wizard. There are three ways to define a zone:
Draw on Map (recommended)
Click points directly on an interactive map to outline your zone as a polygon. Best for irregular shapes like trader compounds or military bases.
Circle Zone
Enter a centre point (X and Y coordinates) and a radius in metres. Good when you already know your coordinates from a tool like iZurvive.
Auto Detect via Fireplaces
Go in-game as your linked gamertag and place up to 10 Fireplaces around the boundary of your zone. Vigil tracks each placement in real time and calculates a zone that fits those positions. Click Use These Positions once you're happy with the coverage.
Auto Detect is useful when you want to walk the boundary in-game rather than look up coordinates. The detection window is 20 minutes from when you connect.
After defining the shape, give the zone a name and confirm. The zone appears in your list immediately.
Zone shapes
| Shape | Description |
|---|---|
| Circle | A centre point and radius. Simple and fast to set up. |
| Polygon | A custom outline drawn on the map. More precise for complex areas. |
Editing and disabling zones
- Edit — reopens the wizard pre-filled with the zone's current values. Use the back links to redraw or adjust coordinates before saving.
- Active / Disabled — toggle a zone on or off without deleting it.
- Del — permanently removes the zone.
Position checking modes
Configures which player's position is checked when a kill happens:
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Victim | Alert if the victim died inside the safezone |
| Killer | Alert if the killer was inside the safezone when they fired |
| Either | Alert if either player was inside the safezone |
Most servers use Victim mode so the zone protects players who are physically inside it.
Configuration options
Whitelist
Gamertags listed here are exempt from all enforcement — no alerts, no bans. Use this for admins and trusted staff.
Auto-ban
Automatically adds the killer to your Nitrado ban list when a violation is detected. Set the ban duration in hours — use 0 for a permanent ban.
Ban on build
Bans any player who builds inside a safezone. Useful for preventing fortification of trader areas. You can choose which build actions trigger the ban: Built, Mounted, or Placed.
Display options
- Show location — adds a map link for the kill position
- Show distance from zone centre — shows how far inside the zone the kill occurred
- Show server log time — includes the in-game log timestamp in the embed
Suggested Discord channel
#safezone-violations — admins can review and act on violations as they come in.
Auto-ban applies immediately via Nitrado. Make sure your whitelist includes any admins who may legitimately need to engage in PvP for testing purposes.
