this allowDamage false is not working, please help

[Alyxm 1]

Hey i'm an admin on a server trying to get invulnerability, there is definitely something I'm missing here to stop other players from killing me. If not, please help me anyway! thanks again

This AddEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {False}];

note: I give everyone the benefit of the doubt... I do hope you're not trying to abuse commands in public servers.

It's quite interesting that allowDamage does not seem to work properly. It doesn't prevent damage fully, and when for example hit by a rocket which causes 1 damage, allowDamage does not trigger and you'll die. Ironically I just PMed Dwarden about it because to me it seemed like a dev issue.

This AddEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {False}];

Where and how do I implement this? I'm playing on wasteland servers, I wont use it on a public server, I cant, I only know how to put this through pressing u, then debug, proving grounds, and console. This method is only possible via admin status.

And this command isn't working via that way.

Ok, you have two problems here.

1.) allowDamage does not work in multi-player due to it being run on local machines only.

2.) The following will prevent any unit from taking damage, however, it must be implemented in the init line of the unit whilst editing the mission in the in-game editor. You cannot implement this from the in-game admin console.

this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {false}];

I would do this, add this to your mission init

call compile preProcessFile "whitelist.sqf";

Then the whitelist would look like this...Add in your player uid and the other admins if any into the Admin_Array

private["_uid"];
_uid = getPlayerUID; 
Admin_Array = [list,OF,UIDS,SEPARATED,BY,COMMAS];

if(_uid in Admin_Array) then
{
  this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {false}];
};

That should solve most of your problems minus what tryteyker was talking about. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Use this instead.

[color="#FF0000"]player[/color] addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {false}];

[iceman77 18]

You don't eben need false either. Turns out...

[curtisfelton 1]

The command is - this allowDammage FALSE;

Must have two "m".

[Harzach 2517]

The command is - this allowDammage FALSE;

Must have two "m".

You're thinking of getDammage.

None of the solutions given here so far have fixed this issue.

I personally was using 'this allowDamage false;' for testing and certain training units/players.

Anyone else have a solution for making players/units invulnerable?

[f2k sel 164]

Are you placing them in the right place, if your using this allowDamage false or this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {}] they need to go in the units init or waypoint on act.

If you use them in a trigger you will need to name the unit then use that name instead of this

[ChardWreck 10]

Yep, tried both of them in the units init field.

this allowDamage false; was working in alpha.

[tabakhase 10]

Still not happy?

I came here in a similar search - but didn't got a working answer in that thread ether.

My solution (cause using ACE) where an additional:

player setVariable ["ace_w_allow_dam",false,true];

player allowDamage false;

and to get killed again use:

player setVariable ["ace_w_allow_dam",nil,true]; // yes, nil as in unSet

player allowDamage true;

gz.
