Kill messages sometimes don't show.

[Nextep]

Hello all!

Our kill messages worked fine until we changed to reality - and now it just show's up sometimes. I'd say 1 out of 6 times it show's who killed the victim, and with what weapon - aswell as from what range. Anyone got any ideas here? Our playerdied.sqf;
private["_characterID","_minutes","_newObject","_playerID","_key","_playerName","_playerID","_myGroup","_group","_victim", "_killer", "_weapon", "_message", "_distance","_loc_message","_victimName","_killerName","_killerPlayerID"];
//[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;

_victim removeAllEventHandlers "MPHit";

_victim = _this select 2;
_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];
_victim setVariable["AttackedByWeapon", "nil", true];
_victim setVariable["AttackedFromDistance", "nil", true];
};

dayz_disco = dayz_disco - [_playerID];



Our playersetup.sqf;

if (isNull _playerObj) exitWith {
diag_log ("SETUP INIT FAILED: Exiting, player object null: " + str(_playerObj));
};

//Add MPHit event handler
diag_log("Adding MPHit EH for " + str(_playerObj));
_playerObj addMPEventHandler ["MPHit", {_this spawn fnc_plyrHit;}];

if (_playerID == "") then {
_playerID = getPlayerUID _playerObj;
};




Thanks in advance!!

Doesn't work for us at all and I've double and triple checked all the code and it's all there for us. Though we are on DayZ.ST lol.
