just an example of what you can do with an event handler.
Here's a script to kill a TK'er:
init.sqs line:
teamkill = player addeventhandler [{Killed}, {_this exec {Killshooter.sqs}]
then this little script
_killer = _this select 1
?side _killer == side player:_killer setdammage 1
exit
cool, huh?
(edit: removed little bug: brackets around _this)
-
Thanks dinger, exactly what i needed!

Hi dinger
Within 4 hours of me posting the thought you come up with the script. Man you are a God.
The OFP multi-player community should sing your praises to the heavens.

As another alternative to killing the offending player, you could take away their weapons and cripple them.
_killer = _this select 1
?side _killer == side player: removeAllWeapons _killer; _killer setdammage .8
exit
I have no idea if .8 is the right value to force a person to crawl. Also, I don't know if removeAllWeapons gets rid of grenades, satchel charges, etc. But you get the idea.
BTW, Dinger, sorry about the similarity in names. This is a name I've used for a while and I registered it before I saw yours. If it's any consolation, I'm also excited about being able to use braces instead of quotes. :)
-
*To Hamdinger* I think it's .9 to cripple someone.
*To Dinger* Great job Dinger! You solved to holy grail of dealing with the 7 year-old punks that can't kill the other team, so they have to kill their own. Cheers! :cheers:
-
the thing is there are a lot of players out there setting out to piss people off intentionally
they normally disconnect as soon as they'e killed some1 and that is the most frustrating thing because u cant punish them, or ban them because they change their name and recirculate into the sad world of TKers
thanks
i just thought i might make that comment to make more people aware of the fact that TKers suck

I didn't do anything other than point out what BIS did.
Heh, Ham, I don't have a lock on the name.
One other thing, youshould probably first check:
?_killer == player:exit
another killshooter variation is to give the shooter the damage the player received, so if I hit a buddy with a stray bullet, he's okay, and I take the bullet (and nobody dies). That's done this way:
teamkill = player addeventhandler [{Hit}, {_this exec {killshooter.sqs}}]
;Killshooter.sqs
;dinger@raf303.org
_killer = _this select 1
_damage = _this select 2
?_killer == player:exit
?side _killer != side player: exit
player setdammage ((getdammage player) - _damage)
_killer setdammage ((getdammage player) + _damage)
exit

@ Dinger thanks for your help man. OK i tried this and there seems to be a problem occuring after respawn, it works ok initially BUT after respawn the problems begin, it seems that your soldier respawns and his name comes up red instead of green thus indicating enemy status. Is there any way to reset this after or during the respawn process to be Friendly again?

Im making a script to kill the respawn killers, and had the same problem.
I belive it's because when unit is dead, it's rating is 0 untill it respawn, so when the eventhandler "checks" the side, the result is "CIV".
I solved it putting a name to the group and not using side command.
I still have the problem of inserting again the eventhandler to the dead guy. I can do that by making a trigger with the condition !alive unit, but there must be a better way. i dont want to make a trigger for each unit in the map.
Also, i don't know if this will work in MP because the "killed" eventhandler is local ... :-\
Any hook will be apreciated
My script so far goes like this
_muerto = _this select 0
_matador = _this select 1
? _muerto in units grpOeste && _matador in units grpOeste: goto "fin"
? _muerto in units grpEste && _matador in units grpEste: goto "fin"
_linea = "Don't kill in the respwn zone"
? _muerto in units grpOeste && _muerto in list listaRespOeste: _matador setdammage 1; hint _linea; goto "fin"
? _muerto in units grpEste && _muerto in list listaRespEste: _matador setdammage 1; hint _linea; goto "fin"
#fin
exit
-
Ahh, true.
What you need to do is set a variable like PlayerSide = Side player when you load the EH, and use that as your check.
Second, when the player respawns, you need to respawn the EH too.
Third, all EHs are local events. You need to load an EH on each client (for the player). If you want messages ("you are a bad boy"), you need to have a publicvariable broadcast/monitor system.
I'll see what I can do when I get home in a cupola weeks.
-
well, here's a new one. I can't add handlers to a respawned unit. Not by script or trigger.
Here's what i have. Works fine first time, but when unit respwns no handler is added. Any hook?
init.sqs
ArrayGlobal = units grpEste + units grpOeste
eventos = true
trigger:
condition: Eventos
on activation:"""_X removeAllEventHandlers {killed}"" foreach ArrayGlobal; ""_x addeventhandler [{killed}, {_this exec {Camper.sqs}}]"" forEach ArrayGlobal; eventos = false;publicVariable ""eventos"""
;script Camper.sqs
_muerto = _this select 0
_matador = _this select 1
? _muerto in units grpOeste && _matador in units grpOeste: goto "fin"
? _muerto in units grpEste && _matador in units grpEste: goto "fin"
_linea = "Dont kill in respawn"
? _muerto in units grpOeste && _muerto in list listaRespOeste: _matador setdammage 1; hint _linea; goto "fin"
? _muerto in units grpEste && _muerto in list listaRespEste: _matador setdammage 1; hint _linea; goto "fin"
#fin
Eventos = true
Publicvariable "eventos"
exit
-
I am not sure, but perhaps the problem is in the Init.Sqs
init.sqs: ArrayGlobal = units grpEste + units grpOeste
eventos = true
the init.sqs runns just one time, when the mission is startet. so everything you set in the init.sqs counts just for all units who are existing when the game starts.
As soon a unit gets respawned, all setings from init.sqs will be lost for this unit.
i think
ArrayGlobal = units grpEste + units grpOeste
eventos = true
should be in a seperate script (globarrays.sqs) , with a never ending loop, and you start this script in the init.sqs
could this be a solution?

Thanx for the reply Nedal !!. That's correct, the problem was the array. I get the answer @ the official forum the past week. I solved the problem, but i still don't get why the respawned unit is not in the array if it's still in the gruop.

I am working on another way to get this working
but i have to problem, that it is just working for the guy who starts the game (server) not for all the others
If he kills someone in savezone, his weapons will be removed. But if someone else is doing it nothing happens. I dont know why. there is no trigger gamelogic server.
if you want to see or try, you can download the pbo file at

well, this is what i've done (tested on MP and woprking)
;init.sqs
eventos = true
2 triggers covering each respawn area (west example, you shoul change the act and name for EAST)
rad: your respawn zone
act:west/present
name: ListaRespOeste
1 big trigger covering the entire battlefield
rad: big
act:anyone/present/repet
countdown: 1 second higer than the respanwdelay you setted in de description.ext
condition:eventos
onactivation::"_X removeAllEventHandlers {killed}" foreach thislist; "_x addeventhandler [{killed}, {_this exec {Camper.sqs}}]" forEach thislist; eventos = false; publicVariable "eventos"
Now the script
;;camper.sqs
_muerto = _this select 0
_matador = _this select 1
? _muerto in units grpOeste && _matador in units grpOeste: goto "fin"
? _muerto in units grpEste && _matador in units grpEste: goto "fin"
_linea = "No mates en el Respawn"
? _muerto in units grpOeste && _muerto in list listaRespOeste: _matador setdammage 1; hint _linea; goto "fin"
? _muerto in units grpEste && _muerto in list listaRespEste: _matador setdammage 1; hint _linea; goto "fin"
#fin
Eventos = true
Publicvariable "eventos"
exit
Note: define the name of the groups (grpOeste for west and grpEste for east)

error in top line for Init with dingers orig. post- missing }

This works!
OK after lots of tweaking
in init field
this addEventHandler ["hit",{_this exec "teamwound.sqs"}]
in teamwound.sqs
killer = _this select 1
hurt = _this select 0
killera = driver killer
Publicvariable "killera"
? side killera != side hurt :goto "enemy"
? IsNull killer:goto "enemy"
killera setdammage 0.99; removeallweapons killera; Killera globalchat "I nearly killed a teammate! I'm such an
idiot I should throw my weapon away!"
exit
#enemy
~5
exit
Works perfectly in msn editor. I'm not sure if it will in MP, I'm going to test later.
If someone on your side shoots you, they get their weapon taked off them and their damage set to .99 (crawling)
It even works if they are inside a vehicle.
-
But now what I want is the action to drop weapons (introduced in resistance) so I can make the player drop his weapon, because it could be that they are the only LAW or AT soldier and the team needs it. Anyone know what it is? It's not in the unofficial command reference with the other actions, unless there has bee na new version out.
************EDIT
Actually there is a problem with the above script, if you are driving a car or vehicle, the weapon is removed from whooever you drive over and their damage is set to 9.9...... which is REALLY weird, although it could stop people getting killed by vehicles so much with some changes! (because even though they are hurt with this, they don't die!)
-
punishing them with "disableuserinput" after respawning them would be a good twist

I have been thinking about this a bit and was wondering if the following was possible and if so how to do it
Objective
1) To check if a player in his safezone had been killed by an enemy
2) To check if player in safezone had killed an enemy player
My idea is to have 1 main trigger which encompasses the whole playing area
Which uses the addeventhandler "hit " or "killed"
and two smaller triggers which are the same size and in the same location as the east and west ("_x setdammage 1" forEach thislist; ) respawn protection triggers
These two smaller triggers would switch a variable "Insafezone" to true for any player that is within the triggers perimeter
Then the addeventhandler script exec by the init.sqs
that is continuously looping would check to see if
a) The "hit" target was ?(insafezone)
or
b) The shooter was ?(insafezone)
If either the shooter or target was ?(insafezone), then the shooter would be punished by being
{player setPos (getMarkerPos "respawn_east")} or if west the respawn_west
and then
player=shooter disableuserinput = true
~ punishment
player=shooter disableuserinput = false
I aint that familiar with eventhandlers, but i think i got a failry good understanding of them
However, what i do need to know, is how to make the smaller triggers switch "insafezone" to true for any player in its list
If i can get it working, i think it will be far more efficient that any of the Anti spawn shooting systems used so far
Any help will be appreciated Thx

Hi Dinger: How would I take one of these scripts you mentioned above and make it to ( say ) take points away from someone killing an unarmed enemy officer or soldier? As a rules of engagment script?
-
After 6 years I doubt you will get a response from Dinger, but you never know I suppose. :cool2:
