Simulated rounds help

[Blackfox34 14]

I'm working on a misson for basic training and I want the rounds to not damage the players since it will be PvP/Force on Force.

I've searched for this topic on the forums and such but could not find anything.

I've fiddled with the addeventhandler "hit" however I could not get it to work. I'm a semi noob and I tried this. It works with the Hint format but not Globalchat as I want it to alert everyone.

this addEventHandler ["hit", "globalChat format['shot by %1',_this select 1]"]; this addEventHandler ["hit", "this setDamage 0"];

I've also tried doing the Chernarus Life/Zargabad Life Revolution stun effect, however, I could not get it to work, which would be perfect for what I'm aiming at:

1) Player gets hit from a round by any gun

2) Chat alerts other players that Player1 shot Player 2

3) Maybe a simulated knockout effect so the player is out of action for a short period of time.

I would like this to also be compatible with ACE.

Use a handleDamage event handler. If you don't return "_this select 2", they won't receive any damage.

You can also use this which is easier. Run this code on each unit. Put it in their init.

this [url="http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/allowDamage"]allowDamage[/url] false;

You'll still get the blood when hit.... but will be invincible.

If he wants to do all of these, he'll need to use the EH:

1) Player gets hit from a round by any gun

2) Chat alerts other players that Player1 shot Player 2

3) Maybe a simulated knockout effect so the player is out of action for a short period of time.

Oh yes. My bad for not reading it through.
