[Release] Make a specific player's body hide instantly upon death.

Instantly Hide Body Upon Death​

By Freaking Fred​

Someone requested this a few days ago and I created a detailed tutorial for them just to find out, the next day, that the thread was deleted for some reason. Since I already scripted and tested this, I figured I might as well release it because someone else may be interested in it. This tutorial will show you how set a specific player's body to become hidden instantly, upon death.


Tutorial

Step 1: In your mission folder, create a new file and name it player_death.sqf.

Step 2: Copy and paste the following code into player_death.sqf.

private["_array","_source","_kills","_killsV","_humanity","_wait","_myKills"];
if (deathHandled) exitWith {};
 
deathHandled = true;
//Death
 
_body =        player;
_playerID =    getPlayerUID player;
 
//Send Death Notice
//["dayzDeath",[dayz_characterID,0,_body,_playerID,dayz_playerName]] call callRpcProcedure;
        dayzDeath = [dayz_characterID,0,_body,_playerID,dayz_playerName];
        publicVariable "dayzDeath";
 
_id = [player,20,true,getPosATL player] spawn player_alertZombies;
 
sleep 0.5;
 
player setDamage 1;
0.1 fadeSound 0;
 
player setVariable ["NORRN_unconscious", false, true];
player setVariable ["unconsciousTime", 0, true];
player setVariable ["USEC_isCardiac",false,true];
player setVariable ["medForceUpdate",true,true];
//remove combat timer on death
player setVariable ["startcombattimer", 0, true];
r_player_unconscious = false;
r_player_cardiac = false;
 
if ((getPlayerUID player) in ["#########"]) then {
hideBody player;
};
 
_id = player spawn spawn_flies;
 
_humanity =        0;
_wait =        0;
 
_array = _this;
if (count _array > 0) then {
    _source = _array select 0;
    _method = _array select 1;
    if (!isNull _source) then {
        if (_source != player) then {
            _canHitFree =    player getVariable ["freeTarget",false];
            _isBandit = (["Bandit",typeOf player,false] call fnc_inString);
            _myKills =        ((player getVariable ["humanKills",0]) / 30) * 1000;
            if (!_canHitFree and !_isBandit) then {
                //Process Morality Hit
                _humanity = -(2000 - _myKills);
                _kills =        _source getVariable ["humanKills",0];
                _source setVariable ["humanKills",(_kills + 1),true];
                _wait = 300;
            } else {
                //Process Morality Hit
                //_humanity = _myKills * 100;
                _killsV =        _source getVariable ["banditKills",0];
                _source setVariable ["banditKills",(_killsV + 1),true];
                _wait = 0;
            };
            if (_humanity < 0) then {
                _wait = 0;
            };
            if (!_canHitFree and !_isBandit) then {
                //["dayzHumanity",[_source,_humanity,_wait]] call broadcastRpcCallAll;
                dayzHumanity = [_source,_humanity,_wait];
                publicVariable "dayzHumanity";
            };
        };
    };
    _body setVariable ["deathType",_method,true];
};

Step 3: In player_death.sqf, search for the following line.

if ((getPlayerUID player) in ["#########"]) then {

Step 4: Replace the "#########" with the UID of the player(s) you wish to be hidden upon death. If you have multiple players to add, separate the UIDs by commas. Be sure to use the player UID and not GUID.
Example: ["123456789","987654321"]

Step 5: Open your init.sqf.

Step 6: Find

if (!isDedicated) then {

and directly underneath it add

// Hide Body
    player_death = compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "player_death.sqf";
