=BTC= Revive

[fn_Quiksilver 1633]

Ahh ok.

So all players are able to heal one another, presumably, and if all players are dead then logically the mission is over so you want to end it.

In that case, something like the below would work.

It evaluates in a loop to check all the players. If less than 1 players are not (read that twice) in the BTC 'unconscious' state, then the mission will terminate.

It's probably best to put some sort of delay at the beginning, as I can foresee issues when the players have entered the game but the BTC Revive code has not initialized yet, triggering the _allPlayersDead variable right at the start before the mission begins.

// "init.sqf" or "initServer.sqf"

if (isServer || isDedicated) then {

[] spawn {
	private ["_allPlayersDead"];

	mission_in_progress = TRUE;
	win = FALSE;
	_allPlayersDead = FALSE;

	while {mission_in_progress} do {

		_allPlayersDead = ({(format ["%1",player getVariable "BTC_need_revive"] == "0")} count (playableUnits + switchableUnits)) < 1;

		if (_allPlayersDead) exitWith {
			sleep 1; 
			["LOSER", false] call BIS_fnc_endMissionServer; 
			sleep 1; 
			forceEnd; 
		};

		if (win) exitWith {
			sleep 1; 
			["end1", true] call BIS_fnc_endMissionServer; 
			sleep 1; 
			forceEnd; 
		};
                       sleep 5;
	};
};
};

I won't update this script anymore, too much time consuming and honestly, i'm start to hating it :D If I re-open the script one more time probably I'm gonna re-write it from scratch and it's not a good idea!

If you want to try something similar but a bit advanced you should take a look at the system used in Hearts and Minds

Don't work in a Dedicated Server, Just start the mission, end the mission like all is dead. Why? Can help me please?

[halex1316 3]

Quick question - is there a way to utilize the mobile respawn aspect of the script without the medical system portion?

Thanks

Quoting myself, from your post ...

I'm assuming this is a local issue with my install, but on every mission I play that has the =BTC= Revive script in it, whenever I die I don't get the Respawn option. I know that the option exists because other players are presented with it. But I just see the countdown timer... no respawn option. Anyone able to shed some light on what's going wrong?

I've double checked that Arma3 is up to date. Here's an example of a mission that contains =BTC= Revive, with a respawn option but when I die, I don't see it...

I think A3 has a need for a fresh, working revive system, and I would think with the project here in this thread, you would be a good man for the job :D.

I've written it in less than an hour, still trying to find time to test it.

Hello,

I am making a multiplayer mission and I need help with some scripting. I have everything done except I am unable to understand how to reset the loadout after dying. I have tried multiple different scripts with no success including =BTC= Revive. I have the files copied from the virtual arsenal that I want to be used as the loadouts, but I do not know how to get them to stay as the loadout after the player dies. I have four types of players per team and each player has a unique loadout. I would love some genuine help not just a redirect to an old thread because I have been searching for a solution for the past two days to no avail. All I want is an explanation and a simple guide on how I might go about fixing this issue, not someone telling me to go search before I ask a question.

look forward to the new script i need a revive script for sp/coop that enables ai to revive ai and players.

[chenettx2 10]

[giallustio 770]

Check the new script:

[TheBUTTERY_T 10]

Is it possible to be able to make this script still show, Player1 was killed by Player2, and also keep score of the kills on the score board?

Edit: Sorry, this was for quick revive. nm :)

I believe with both BTC Revive and the Quick Revive, enemies will continue firing at you once you are unconscious. I would think perhaps there is a simple fix for this like maybe using setCaptive when unconscious and then reverting that once revived. Is this possible or has something like this been tried?

Its a little annoying when the enemy basically just empties clip after clip on an unconscious player laying not the ground.

[giallustio 770]

It's already like that, since forever. Sometimes it could take a bit to update the player's status on the server tho

[delta99 34]

Not sure what you are saying exactly? Are you saying this has been fixed forever and I shouldn't be seeing this behavior unless the players status on the server hasn't updated yet? If so, I see it happening for a long time and I'm sure it doesn't take that long for the server to update. And not sure what you are keeping track of on the server. Player object is only local to clients not server as far as I know.

[mariodu62 5]

Setcaptive is not working very fine now, since the last update.

[Chairborne 2594]

I want to make a mission with "infinite" (a lot of) revives and only one life (when the timer runs out you die for good).

Is there any compatibility issue with F3 framework and your Revive system i should be aware of?
