Revive script for ACE2 Wounding system [V1.5]

[Braker355 10]

Hello, i have problem with your new revive script 191:

When i use the version 182, it work but when i replace the files and rework the confiiguracion file identically, it doesn't work... (The parameters of the configuracion file was ignored (denyed) and it load the default config (revivetime=400;number of lifes=2;spectator mode=true))... Thanks for your reply

PS: i have completely replaced and reworked the configuracion file from 182 to 191... Thanks again.

[columdrum 11]

it should always work, even with the 1.6 configuration file :S(but the new options will have default values). Maybe i forgot something on the last version, i will check it anyways ^^. I also got another problem reported so i may release a mini bugfix version tomorrow.

Is there any way to disable the persistence lives , as trying to run a MSO style mission where it replenished every 24 hours or is there a way Revive can do this ?

[columdrum 11]

New bugfix release 1.9.2. Changelog:

+Added the option to adjust the persistence of the player life number

*Several small fixes

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?cy0m60sdzf1ltpo

As always the older config files are compatible :)

Not on the latest release but, you can do with the new option with the latest . Read the comments on the config file for the "Colum_revive_LifesPersist" option. If you have any problem with this option just post here or send me a PM ^^

Just tested it and It works like a charm , many , many thanks indeed !!!!!

[1para{god-father} 105]

Would I be correct if I wanted it to be set to 48 Hours ?

Colum_revive_LifesPersist=(172800*60);

[Braker355 10]

Hello, just a question, how i can set the altitude of the respawn point? beacause i would like to place a respawn point on the nimitz with your revive script. Thank you.

Its good in theory but when you click the respawn buttons when at the life timer screen it does not count your death. Seing as respawn without actually dying is there a way to make it still count?

Why cant you have the telaport to squad leader with spectating off. When i set it up this way i get perma death when respawning.

I really like what you are doing but I would really like a stand alone for the wounded map marker system when someone goes to life timer in this. This system does not play to well with my Insurgency missions.

Colum_revive_LifesPersist=(172800*60);

172800*60=10368000 = 2880 hours = 120 days = 4 moths

Good look to have a mission that long :P. Just use 172800 or (48*60*60), the *60 on the example its only to make easier to see what you are trying to do, because if you use 172800 at first you wont know how many time is it, but if you use (48*60*60) its obvious that that means 48 hours :).

Hello, just a question, how i can set the altitude of the respawn point? beacause i would like to place a respawn point on the nimitz with your revive script. Thank you.

Use the respawn offset option:

Colum_revive_RespawnOffset= [0,0,0,0];

First number its for first respawn point.... i dont know the height of the nimitz, but i would asume that its arround 18 so if for example the nimitz respawn point its the second one:

Colum_revive_RespawnOffset= [0,18,0,0];

But be sure that you get the height correctly, it isnt fun to spawn in the air and die :P

What you mean that its not counting? you mean on the stat screen? thats the way the revive works and avoids a lot of troubles. If you want to do something when someone gets heavily wounded, instead or using the killed eventhandlers you can use the ACE one:

["ace_sys_wounds_rev", {your code here}] call CBA_fnc_addEventhandler;

But the killed event would triger when someone really dies(out of lives), or respawn button used.

Teleport to squad only works 1 time, and when you JIP. And should work with spectating off. There can be a bug there, plz send me your exact config.

And about perma death, respawn button always means perma death unless respawn its active. Thats the way its done, and the main reason its that on a normal mission its no sense on doing so, unless you are respawning each time just to teleport arround.... lol.

columdrum first of all mate, let me just say what a great script suite this is. Really does give that little more flexibilty to the ACE system that ensures smooth play.

I have a question (well more a plea for help), regarding the JIP teleport to squad option that is included.

Basically I would like to use just this system in a mission where unfortunately I cant use ACE Wounds (thus unable to use the entire script suite). Is there anyway the JIP system could be used on its own?? I have tried looking through the code, but unfortunately my scripting skills just aren't up to the level required the extract the specific sections.

I would really appreciate it if you could find the time to help me out with this.

Thankyou in advance for any help you can provide.

[columdrum 11]

Not sure why but I set it to 48 hours , and after that time i.e i left it 3 days and went back into the server (i still had 8 lives left) It goes in fine but within about 45sec I get ACE Spectating mode - even thoi i have disabled it.

It is like it does not reset my lives but removes them ?

Weird thing, i will take a look but i suppect that its more like a script lag/ server FPS issue, the server RPT and the client RPT would help. If you can send me the RPT via PM that would help a lot.

I have never seen a mission last more than 48 without issues. The server fps start to going down always and makes some scripts starts to fail, the AI starts to act stupid, and finally arma itself start to fail :(, so your it could be really dificult to create that kind of long missions.

Srry but thats not posible and have nothing to do with the script itself. Fell free to use any part of it, you should look for "Revive_Keypressedcode" and "Revive_TelepSquad" functions. Right now i dont have time to help you any further :(

[Kerc Kasha 102]

Colum regarding resetting the lives with the "Colum_Revive_Funcion_Reset_Data" function is this done just by executing something like

null = call Colum_Revive_Funcion_Reset_Data;

in a trigger or script?

as I want a trigger in a mission to allow for players to rejip/respawn

[columdrum 11]

yes thats it, "null = call Colum_Revive_Funcion_Reset_Data;"(you can change null for anythig that its not a constant/funcitonname or the name of a used variable :P) for a trigger or just "call Colum_Revive_Funcion_Reset_Data;" if its a script. It just deleted all the data stored, so if someone is death he should reconnect to become alive again, but the living ones would get their lives reseted to max value without needing to reconnect :).

I just tried it out and it didn't seem to work - when players rejoined(mind you they didnt reconnect, jsut hit abort and reselected their spot - but we tried reconnecting afterwards and it didnt help) they respawned but immediately went into the spectator script - it was very weird

EDIT: tried something different - it worked when the jipping player disconnected before the data was reset - previously they rejipped after

[columdrum 11]

MMM it should have worked even if the player was disconnected :S. I will try to find what can be wrong there but right now i am busy with other things so it may take time to fix that :(.

Hi Columdrum,

First off your script is great and just what I'm looking for. However, I am having a problem on every death past the first one: the spawn buttons are not showing up =( And if I force respawn (escape --> respawn), I just get stuck in spectator mode unable to respawn. Is this something you've ran into before? I'm using the latest version of ACE with the beta version of A2OA. Thanks!

[columdrum 11]

when you say stuck on spectator, you mean with countdown?(if no coundown it means that you have no lifes left). Be sure of setting the "Colum_revive_Conf_Lifes" to the number you want :). Also, you should never use the escape--> respawn option (it would allow exploiting thats why its penalized with -1 life), if you want to allow fast respawn, just lower the time to show button(ace_sys_spectator_RevShowButtonTime).

If nothing of this solves it, just send me your mission or just the revive config file you are using so i can see whats wrong there.

[1para{god-father} 105]

A quick question I am using the ShackTac Fireteam HUD (STHUD) and noticed that when the leader dies i.e in a car or watrer we all lose the HUD could it be the

Colum_revive_Death_LeaveGroup= true;

Is there an issue if i chan ge it to False ? not sure what it does would it still show the killed corps in the group as well ?

[mons00n 3]

when you say stuck on spectator, you mean with countdown?(if no coundown it means that you have no lifes left). Be sure of setting the "Colum_revive_Conf_Lifes" to the number you want :).

Yea it's stuck with a countdown and no buttons come up the second death, even with the number of lives set to 1000. If I let the countdown run out, the countdown starts over.

I'm currently focusing on coop mission so this is not a concern. I want to allow the respawn button if someone dies in a hopeless place and they don't want to wait on the timer to run out so they can get back into the action. I'll give it another try on a simpler mission and see if I can get it working.

I've been having the exact same problem. I have all my markers down and double checked the config file, and I can't seem to figure it out. Out of interest, I referred to the Sample Mission that is included with the script and experienced the same problem (the only option I changed was to increase the number of lives from 2 to 10 for testing purposes). Has anyone else had this problem where the script works perfectly on your first death, but then stops working after your second (i.e. stuck in spectator with countdown and no respawn buttons)?

Thanks in advance for any help!

[columdrum 11]

Confirmed its broken after first respawn, maybe some of the last changes broke that :S. I will fix it ASAP

A quick question I am using the ShackTac Fireteam HUD (STHUD) and noticed that when the leader dies i.e in a car or watrer we all lose the HUD could it be the

Colum_revive_Death_LeaveGroup= true;

It only removes from the group the death players, dunno if that could cause the STHUD to fail O_o

Yea it's stuck with a countdown and no buttons come up the second death, even with the number of lives set to 1000. If I let the countdown run out, the countdown starts over.

NOTE: when you run out of time the timer sets to 1000 for 10 seconds and then autorespawns(if not revived on those 10 extra seconds) if you have lifes left, thats a workaround for low fps situations, to allow people that its about to run out of time to be revived
