Line 1: [[File:JukeAlertCheatsheet.png\|thumb\|350px\| A summary of snitch mechanics on [[CivClassic]]. "JukeAlert" refers to the name of the snitch plugin.]] {{Mechanics series}} A '''snitch''' is a block commonly included in ~~civ~~[[Civ]] servers which records nearby player movement or actions. Snitches provide different abilities based on their type. Some can send a message to a [[NameLayer\|NameLayer group]] when it detects player movement, allowing for real-time tracking of players. Other snitches can log nearby actions and can be examined after the fact to determine a recounting of events, even if nobody was present at the time. Snitches are frequently placed in high-traffic areas to provide real-time insight into player movement, and in high-value areas so that any attacks can be traced back to a particular player or group. Line 81: === Movement === When a player enters the radius of a snitch with the ability to detect movement, the snitch will send a message to the [[NameLayer\|group]] it is reinforced to. The format of this message ~~can~~varies ~~vary depending on the~~by server, but itis generally ~~has the form~~ <code><player name> entered snitch at <snitch name> [world <x>,<y>,<z>]</code>. Snitches that track movement will also track if a player logs in or logs out within their radius. This sends a message in the same way player movement does.
