that tutorial worked for me but broke custom loadouts and heli crashes from spawning.

Any ideas Will695?

Hi, thanks for the replies

In that tutorial when it comes to the: dayz_server/compile/server_playerDied.sqf part, it says to replace:

private ["_characterID","_minutes","_newObject","_playerID","_key"];
//[unit, weapon, muzzle, mode, ammo, magazine, projectile]
_characterID =    _this select 0;
_minutes =    _this select 1;
_newObject =    _this select 2;
_playerID =    _this select 3;
_playerName =    _this select 4;
 
dayz_disco = dayz_disco - [_playerID];

my taviana server_playerDied.sqf says :

private ["_characterID","_minutes","_newObject","_playerID","_key","_source","_method","_deathMessage"];
//[unit, weapon, muzzle, mode, ammo, magazine, projectile]
//[dayz_characterID,0,_body,_playerID,dayz_playerName,_source,_method];
_characterID = _this select 0;
_minutes = _this select 1;
_newObject = _this select 2;
_playerID = _this select 3;
_playerName    = _this select 4;
_source = _this select 5;
_method = _this select 6;
 
private["_distance","_sourceName","_weapon","_deathMessage","_playerIDk"];
_distance = _newObject distance _source;
_sourceName = _source getVariable["bodyName","unknown"];
_weapon = currentWeapon _source;
_playerIDk = getPlayerUID _source;
 
//_deathMessage = format["%1 killed by %2 using (Weapon:%4) from (Distance:%3)",_playerName,_sourceName,round(_distance),_weapon];
 
if ( isNull _source || _source == _newObject ) then {
//diag_log format["%1 died. (zombie? suicide? bleed?)",_playerName];
diag_log format ["DeadMSG: %1(%6) died. -> %2(%7). Distance:%3 Weapon:%4 Method:%5",_playerName,_sourceName,_distance,_weapon,_method,_playerID,_playerIDk];
 
} else {
//_deathMessage = format["%1 killed by %2. Distance:%3 Weapon:%4 Method:%5",_playerName,_sourceName,_distance,_weapon,_method];
 
diag_log format ["DeadMSG: %1(%6) killed by %2(%7). Distance:%3 Weapon:%4 Method:%5",_playerName,_sourceName,_distance,_weapon,_method,_playerID,_playerIDk];
 
// _weapon may be inaccurate
// _method is inaccurate
// TODO: ...
};

Its slightly different at the top, so im not sure excatly how far down the file I need to replace.
What did you do please?

Many thanks

Will695 is all this specific to death messages?

_victimName = _victim getVariable["bodyName", "nil"];
 
_killer = _victim getVariable["AttackedBy", "nil"];
_killerName = _victim getVariable["AttackedByName", "nil"];
 
// when a zombie kills a player _killer, _killerName and _weapon will be "nil"
// we can use this to determine a zombie kill and send a customized message for that. right now no killmsg means it was a zombie.
if (_killerName != "nil") then
{
_weapon = _victim getVariable["AttackedByWeapon", "nil"];
_distance = _victim getVariable["AttackedFromDistance", "nil"];
 
if (_victimName == _killerName) then
{
_message = format["%1 killed himself",_victimName];
_loc_message = format["PKILL: %1 killed himself", _victimName];
}
else
{
_killerPlayerID = getPlayerUID _killer;
_message = format["%1 was killed by %2 with weapon %3 from %4m",_victimName, _killerName, _weapon, _distance];
_loc_message = format["PKILL: %1 (%5) was killed by %2 (%6) with weapon %3 from %4m", _victimName, _killerName, _weapon, _distance, _playerID, _killerPlayerID];
};
 
diag_log _loc_message;
[nil, nil, rspawn, [_killer, _message], { (_this select 0) globalChat (_this select 1) }] call RE;
//[nil, nil, rHINT, _message] call RE;
 
// Cleanup
_victim setVariable["AttackedBy", "nil", true];
_victim setVariable["AttackedByName", "nil", true];
