Making a MP campaign - need help with Virus scripting :)

[icebreakr 3159]

I have a settlement that has an airborne virus present (marker area). How can I infect a player that is:

a) not wearing a gasmask (ACE item) in that marker?

b) is wounded (damage <0.95) and virus comes to body directly into blood?

Virus would have a timer that would kill off a unit in less than 5 minutes.

Thanks.

_r = [player] call ace_eyeprotection;
_r = [player] call ace_earprotection;

_r values: true or false

Problem is eye protection will count for tactical glasses and balaclavas and safety glasses too.

Oh god, thats just evil.

Do it :D

Then release the script to us :D

There must be something directly related to the Gasmask though, as tactical glasses won't protect you againt tear gas, for instance? I don't know what variable that could be though.

BTK did it like this.

if (player getVariable "ACE_Identity") == "ACE_GlassesGasMask_RU") || ((player getVariable "ACE_Identity") == "ACE_GlassesGasMask_US") then {

}

[kylania 568]

BTK did it like this.

Shame the ACE Wiki doesn't know that. :)

[cuel 25]

Yes. There's a lot of stuff you need to figure out yourself :)

[icebreakr 3159]

Thanks guys!

[robot 1]

Thanks guys!

Intrigued about how the infected will behave? This sounds awesome!

[blackmamb 2]

They would die after 5 minutes, I guess. As for their behaviour, that's up to the players.

[icebreakr 3159]

BTK did it like this.

if (player getVariable "ACE_Identity") == "ACE_GlassesGasMask_RU") || ((player getVariable "ACE_Identity") == "ACE_GlassesGasMask_US") then {

}

Doesn't work... does anyone have a working sample? I would need to activate script if player doesnt have GasMask_RU or GasMask_US.

[kylania 568]

Two things, first is a few typos in that demo, second it seems that ACE_Identity isn't set by default till you put something on.

Here's a demo that appears to be working, but by no means is the best way of doing this. :)

init.sqf:

player setVariable ["virus", 0, true];
player setVariable ["ACE_Identity", "WhatYourMammaGaveYou", true];

sleep 1;

while {true} do {

hintSilent format["%1", player getVariable "virus"];
};

trigger running this:

addVirus.sqf:

private ["_zone", "_virus", "_inZone"];
_zone = _this select 0;
_virus = player getVariable "virus";
_inZone = true;


while {_inZone} do {
if (((player getVariable "ACE_Identity") == "ACE_GlassesGasMask_RU") || ((player getVariable "ACE_Identity") == "ACE_GlassesGasMask_US")) then {
	//player sideChat "masky"; 
} else {
	//player groupChat "sicky";
	_virus = _virus + 1;
	player setVariable ["virus", _virus];
};

if ((player distance _zone) > 5) then {_inZone = false};
sleep 1;
};

//player sideChat "phew!";

For MP you'd probably wanna call the script via a distance check or local trigger. :)

Some more samples which could be adapted:

BTK Gasmask for ACE - works only for players, not AI

columdrum Tear-Gas and AI with gasmasks

[icebreakr 3159]

Tnx panther42, totally forgot about BTK. All is working fine with couple of tweaks, even in MP ;)

Yeah the BTK thing works but is it possible to fix the Error? Because i hate Script errors. :D

Error in expression <riable "ace_sys_goggles_identity";

if (_old_identity in ["ACE_GlassesGasMask_US>

Error position: <_old_identity in ["ACE_GlassesGasMask_US>

Error Undefined variable in expression: _old_identity

[kylania 568]

As I mentioned in my apparently completely ignored post, the ACE_Identity variable isn't set to anything until the first time you put on a mask. So your initial check of it will fail unless you set it to something first.

[cuel 25]

Could also be fixed by using the getVariable array (value to return if the variable doesn't exist). :). I'd assume it didn't exist when BTK wrote his script.

BTK did it like this.

if (((player getVariable ["ACE_Identity",""]) == "ACE_GlassesGasMask_RU") || ((player getVariable ["ACE_Identity",""]) == "ACE_GlassesGasMask_US")) then {

}

[icebreakr 3159]

I've managed to fix it. But, check BTK's topic for a hint.

[Sc0rc3d 1]

@kylania No i read your Post and set in my init file "player setVariable player setVariable ["ACE_Identity", "ACE_Original_Identity"];"

but the error still comes again on Mission Start "Error in expression <riable "ace_sys_goggles_identity"; blabla" i searched the BTK code to find "ace_sys_goggles_identity" but there was nothing

so i try to set "player setVariable player setVariable ["ACE_Identity", "ace_sys_goggles_identity"];" but unfortunately has not worked.

Maybee i need start the hole squad by mask on his face to fix it. :D

Any Ideas?

[icebreakr 3159]

I can send you a working mission, but it requires ACE,ACEX, Duala & SBP Slovenian Soldiers addons. Only problem I have right now that spawn doesn't work for masks, they are not there.

[Sc0rc3d 1]

A Demo Mission sounds nice. My mission is playing at Duala and the SBP Part i can cut out the file. :)

And for your problem you tried to place the "ACE Respawn with same Gear" Module on the map?

Or try some like this:

in your init: [] execVM "pl_respawn.sqf";

pl_respawn.sqf

player addEventHandler ["Killed",{

player spawn {

_unit = _this;

/*

_Unit setVehicleInit "btk = [this,'Use'] execVM 'BTK\Gasmask\Gasmask.sqf';";

processInitCommands;

*/

};

};

maybee it help a bit :o

If I may recommend something, since the victim will die in 5 minutes. I can presume this is a very painful death. So I say when the victims death timer is near zero you should play the sound when a person is on fire. It sounds like a painful and terrible death, which it perfect for you!
