=BTC= Revive

[I34dKarma 1]

Had an interesting bug with BTC today. I was dragging a player to cover when someone revived him. The player I was dragging was revived and still attached to me. I would move around had he was along for the ride. I tried switching weapons, and doing a few other things. The only solution was to use him as a human shield and when he went down all was well. You might need to add a check to see if the attachedto command is active.

On our dedicated server when we start a mission and say 6 of us join everything is fine - then an hour later player 7 joins we have noticed player 7 doesnt have the revive option - to solve the problem what we do is ALL disconnect and then all 7 players reconnect at the same time and everything is fine. Then again if an eigth player joins they too dont have the revive option and we all disconnect and reconnect and everything is fine - any ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance

We've been seeing the same thing. Not sure if it's a problem with JIP players not running the revive_init for some reason and not initializing BTC, or some sort of problem with BTC no recognizing this new person is part of the same 'group' and they should be able to revive/be revived.

Never had this issue...

OK Good (sort of) to know someone else is experiencing the same. The only error I am getting in the rpt file re the Revive stuff is the following

Error in expression <each BTC_objects_actions_west;} foreach BTC_vehs_mobile_west_str;};

case (BTC_si>

Error position: <BTC_vehs_mobile_west_str;};

case (BTC_si>

Error Undefined variable in expression: btc_vehs_mobile_west_str

Any ideas anyone?

Unfortunately this means nothing to me with my VERY limited scrpting knowledge - Any idea where I should look - though I am not convinced this is causing the JIP players not getting rev option as it refers to the mobile hq which is working

[mariodu62 5]

start your game with -showscripterrors, to check if you have a client error.

[Doodle 10]

I am running -showscripterrors - Thats how I noticed the error

Anyone know of any way to put a minor 'delay' in the revive script? Let me explain what I'm doing and it'll make more sense. I've written a simple 'paradrop' script that grabs info about the players backpack and it's contents, sticks that in an array, then removes it to put a parachute on the player. On landing, it does the reverse, removing/dropping the parachute and then putting the original backpack/contents back on.

Problem is, if the players die on landing, since I have BTC set to respawn the players with gear, BTC is seeing the dead player wearing the parachute, because the paradrop script hasn't had a chance to swap it back, and then when the player is revived, they've lost their backpack.

[giallustio 770]

Probably a killed eh with a sleep inside...

[meatball 25]

Well, here's what I was thinking. I set a global variable in the 'paradrop script' when it starts to paradropping == 1 and when it finished (player has landed/gotten their backpack) to paradropping == 0. Using this variable I should be stop BTC from doing get gears until the player is on the ground.

I'm thinking I can just change the BTC_revive_loop function to check that variable as well with a change to the if check:

if (Alive player && paraDropping == 0 && format ["%1",player getVariable "BTC_need_revive"] != "1") then ...

The other thought to just stop the gear from being checked at all if the player is in the middle of a drop and adding a simple waitUntil {paraDropping == 0}; to the first line in that function.

Thoughts?

Hi Giallustio and everyone else,

Great script! It works where many others produce numerous bugs. However, I have a question: People seem to be instashotted, particularly with this script, on our servers. I looked around in the scripts and functions and saw some variables dealing with damage and their thresholds. Is it possible to increase the threshold from alive --> respawned?

Thank you in advanced. I apologize if this has been asked, but I tried to search to no avail.

[giallustio 770]

What type of revive are you using?

[Torojon 10]

This is the code I have in the init. Is that what you meant?

BTC_black_screen = 1;//Black screen + button while unconscious or action wheel and clear view

BTC_action_respawn = 0;//if black screen is set to 0 you can choose if you want to use the action wheel or the button. Keep in mind that if you don't use the button, the injured player can use all the action, frag too....

BTC_respawn_time = 30;

BTC_active_mobile = 0;//Active mobile respawn (You have to put in map the vehicle and give it a name. Then you have to add one object per side to move to the mobile (BTC_base_flag_west,BTC_base_flag_east) - (1 = yes, 0 = no))

BTC_mobile_respawn = 0;//Active the mobile respawn fnc (1 = yes, 0 = no)

I've never finished the new system and i don't have time to look into it sadly.

[Torojon 10]

How would you do it with the old system?

[meatball 25]

Hey Gia, is the 'lite' version that you mentioned a while back have all the latest changes from your last full patch?

[viotech3 10]

Hey, i'm trying to get the BTC Revive script working on the MCC Template. I've done what all the installation stuff says, but it never works. It does work on other missions, just not the MCC blank template. I presume that it's because the Template doesn't have a mission.sqm or .pbo, and runs based off the mod. Either way, I've yet to find a blank altis map with respawns so i can just load a mission with MCC. I should probably post this on the MCC thread too.

Hello,

Is there a way to stay sync with support module (artillery, helico...) after respawn ?

Thanks,

[meatball 25]

Anyone ever figure out the 'random no revive' issue, where players will just randomly after being revived no longer be able to revive other players or be revived themselves? Doesn't seem to be tied to whether the player is JIP or not, just seems to randomly hit individuals on occasion.

[hennio 1]

Hi Giallustio,

Great functionality! I've played CTI and what I loved was the ability to revive players. We are trying to add this to our own server using Wasteland, but the respawn screens are in conflict:

The respawn blue screen from A3Wasteland appears after dying, but then the black screen from Revive goes over it and we can only spawn at base etc.

How could we disable this black screen, so that when one dies (and not revived by teammates after the revive time) doesn't get the black screen nor the clear screen?

Thank you!

Anyone found grenade launchers unloading themselves on player revive? Trying to track down the cause of it.

[[kh]jman 49]

Hey Meatball. Concerning the 'random no revive' issue, it is rather annoying so I'm going to debug it and see if I can narrow the cause down ;)
