Needing Help with server_playerDied.sqf and getting the correct kill message...

DangerRuss · Apr 26, 2014

Im currently using this in my server_playerDied.sqf...

Code:

#include "\z\addons\dayz_server\compile\server_toggle_debug.hpp"
 
private ["_characterID","_minutes","_newObject","_playerID","_key", "_killer", "_weapon", "_distance","_loc_message","_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 =     name _newObject;
 
_newObject setVariable["processedDeath",diag_tickTime];
_newObject setVariable ["bodyName", _playerName, true];
 
_killer = _newObject getVariable["AttackedBy", "nil"];
_killerName = _newObject 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 = _newObject getVariable["AttackedByWeapon", "nil"];
    _distance = _newObject getVariable["AttackedFromDistance", "nil"];
 
    if (_playerName == _killerName) then
    {
        _loc_message = format["PKILL: %1 killed themselves near %2", _playerName, (getPosATL _newObject) call fa_coor2str];
        _message = format["%1 killed themselves near %2", _playerName, (getPosATL _newObject) call fa_coor2str];
        [nil, nil, rTITLETEXT, _message, "PLAIN DOWN", 0] call RE;
    }
    else
    {
        _killerPlayerID = getPlayerUID _killer;
        _loc_message = format["PKILL: %1 (%5) was killed near %7 by %2 (%6) with weapon %3 from %4m", _playerName, _killerName, _weapon, _distance, _playerID, _killerPlayerID, (getPosATL _newObject) call fa_coor2str];
        _message = format[" %1 was killed near %5 by %2 with weapon %3 from %4m", _playerName, _killerName, _weapon, _distance, (getPosATL _newObject) call fa_coor2str];
        [nil, nil, rTITLETEXT, _message, "PLAIN DOWN", 0] call RE;
    };
 
    diag_log _loc_message;
 
    // Cleanup
    _newObject setVariable["AttackedBy", "nil", true];
    _newObject setVariable["AttackedByName", "nil", true];
    _newObject setVariable["AttackedByWeapon", "nil", true];
    _newObject setVariable["AttackedFromDistance", "nil", true];
} else {
    _loc_message = format["PKILL: %1 was killed near %2", _playerName, (getPosATL _newObject) call fa_coor2str];
    _message = format["PKILL: %1 was killed near %2", _playerName, (getPosATL _newObject) call fa_coor2str];
    diag_log _loc_message;
    [nil, nil, rTITLETEXT, _message, "PLAIN DOWN", 0] call RE;
};
 
if (typeName _minutes == "STRING") then
{
    _minutes = parseNumber _minutes;
};
 
if (_characterID != "0") then
{
    _key = format["CHILD:202:%1:%2:",_characterID,_minutes];
    //diag_log ("HIVE: WRITE: "+ str(_key));
    _key call server_hiveWrite;
}
else
{
    deleteVehicle _newObject;
};
 
#ifdef PLAYER_DEBUG
format ["Player UID#%3 CID#%4 %1 as %5 died at %2",
    _newObject call fa_plr2str, (getPosATL _newObject) call fa_coor2str,
    getPlayerUID _newObject,_characterID,
    typeOf _newObject
];
#endif
 
//dead_bodyCleanup set [count dead_bodyCleanup,_newObject];

Whenever a player kills me all it says is..

Code:

PKILL: DangerRuss was killed near Elektrozavodsk [96:136]

where am I going wrong here? Im trying to get
"DangerRuss was killed by PLAYERNAME with WEAPON from DISTANCE"

Ok I was given a better server_playerDied.sqf. Basically just follow these instructions
http://dayz.st/w/Kill_Messages
but use this server_playerDied.sqf

Code:

#include "\z\addons\dayz_server\compile\server_toggle_debug.hpp"
 
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 =     name _newObject;
 
_victim removeAllEventHandlers "MPHit";
 
_victim = _this select 2;
_victimName = _playerName;
 
_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;
 
    // Cleanup

_newObject setVariable["processedDeath",time];
_newObject setVariable ["bodyName", _playerName, true];

DangerRuss · Apr 29, 2014

Yep. Works fine!

LTGNick · Apr 29, 2014

I havent seen any problems concerning skins. From time to time it wont work especially if theres a lot of people. Not much can be done about that

cyrq · Apr 29, 2014

This was resolved a long time ago. Someone should really make a guide for this.

Switching clothes in DayZ is a process of creating a second unit, copying the inventory from the original one to the new one and lastly deleting the old one. The new unit needs the MPHit EH for the death messages which is normally only added when the player logs in.

I dont have any of the things there talking about >.> besides more of a help forum then how to install it

cyrq · Apr 29, 2014

Is it that difficult to read?

Add to player_switchModel.sqf

Code:

player addMPEventHandler ["MPHit", {_this spawn fnc_plyrHit;}];

Done. Kill messages working after skin change.

Yea it is when i dont have the same files as them

I dont have any of the things there talking about

missing the switch model.sqf .....

is it that hard to read?

cyrq · Apr 29, 2014

Then your not playing DayZ, since the file is in dayz_code for over 2 years.

DangerRuss · Apr 29, 2014

Cyrq just to clarify.. Adding that snippet of code to the bottom of player_switchModel.sqf will fix the issue using the method I posted from dayz.st? No other changes required? Just making sure because that thread you linked to was talking about a hint and I like mine global. thanks

LTGNick > dayz_Code >compile > player_switchModel.sqf

also you're previous post you excluded this

Code:

diag_log ("PLAYER: SETUP: Hit Event added after model change");

from this

Code:

player addMPEventHandler ["MPHit", {_this spawn fnc_plyrHit;}];
diag_log ("PLAYER: SETUP: Hit Event added after model change");

Was this intentional or should I include all of it?

cyrq · Apr 29, 2014

Add this:

Code:

diag_log ("I'm very rude, no seriously just google it.");

If you got nothing polite to say don't say it at all.

Let's be nice to one another ey, @cyrq is just getting frustrated with you that's all. Let's leave the hostility at bay and discuss this appropriately. Cyrq isn't a staff member by the way, he just moderates the forum for his mod DayZed. None the less, it doesn't give him nor any of you an excuse to behave like children.

Now, continue....

Im sorry just had no idea where the switchmodel.sqf was and I was pretty confused but its all good not everyone is always in the best of moods
