Farooq's Revive

[Meska_ 10]

Hey Guys,

i got a little problem - it looks like I cant revive civilians if i'm playing as Blufor (west) or the other way around ;/

Does somebody know how to fix this?

[DancZer 65]

I got script error in 1.5 when i use it without acre.

I added in FAR_Mute_ACRE below the time waitUntil:

waitUntil{!isnil "acre_sys_core_globalVolume"};

[Genderbent 10]

If you're not using the debugging mode then the script won't initialize for ai units.

[DarealAl 10]

Hi there,

first let me say, i am not really familiar with Arma3-Scripting. I am trying to write some MP-Code for a dedicated Wasteland Server.

FAR_revive works perfectly but now i need to find out who killed a unit. So i have a Little Loop running...

waitUntil
{
   sleep 10; 
   ! alive _Target || _failed
};

_killer = _Target call FAR_findKiller;
_killerName = name _killer;

Result is always empty and in my logs there is a "Error Undefined Variable in Expression: far_findkiller"

So my Questions are:

How can i Access the FAR Variables from my script ? Is there a way to use the FAr functiosn such as UNCONSCIOUS(_unit) ?

Any help would be appreciated :))

EDIT:

OK, i figured out how to get FAR_Vars... Anyway, it would be cooler to use the already implemented Functions like DRAGGED_BY(), UNCONSIUOS etc... Any Ideas ?

...and i am not able to find the one who killed a Player... (Need it Serverside) :(

No one ? OK, let me try to explain...

I have a dedicated A§Wasteland Server running, with FAR_revive.. It is running as i want but now i try to wirte a Server side script...

I need to get the Playerobjekt that killed another one.

The "Victim" is know and i can Display Names and so on. But whatever i try, i cant get the object that killed "Victim" ...

I have tried via call FAR_findkiller and getVairable[""FAR_killerPrimeSuspects", objNull] but there is "any" or "error: no vehicle" when i try

to Access

name _unit;

Any1 with ideas ?

i dont know how to fix your problem, but it sounds like a locality issue or the function is not returning the player as a value. Check to see if theres a

if (isDedicated) then exitWith {};

at the top of the function file or that there is a value returned when the function is done. :confused: good luck

[DarealAl 10]

Script runs serverside, so there is a

if (!isDedicated) exitwith {};

at the top.

Anyway, thank you for your Kind reply.

Hm, i think my Problem is not really FAR_revive ... So please consider my question as "in the wrong Forum" .. I will try it somewhere else.

Anyway, thanks a lot :)

Very good script! But there is a problem. After I respawn, the player is constantly moving. How to fix it?

[seba1976 98]

I have a problem. Whenever I choose to commit suicide and respawn at base, everything works fine but other players can't see me in game anymore. If, for example, I die again, other player don't see my body laying on the ground, nor can they interact with me. Basically I can't be revive, nor seen. Anyone else is having this or know what the problem might be?

[Smoerble 11]

When someone dies in a helicopter, he cannot respawn.

Even more, he cannot hit ESC to leave the server.

I think, I have read somewhere, that this is a known bug? Is there a fix available please?

BUMP

Yep, same problem and a little fix would be really nice:

When I die in a helicopter (crashing the ground) I am stuck in the helicopter and don't die and can't press anything => I have to shut down Arma completly..

Any idea why this is happening and how I can fix it? :)

[654wak654 25]

Open FAR_revive_funcs.sqf and replace

while {vehicle _unit != _unit} do 

with

if (vehicle _unit != _unit) then 

Hope this helps.

This is the solution to your problems people. Go to notepad (or np++) and use Ctrl+F or Ctrl+H.

Has anyone else noticed the following behaviour since the last official game update.

1st - Medics sometimes (Generaly a little way into a session) get a situation where they cannot fully heal someone. The person who is injured shows no sign of being injured, but they cannot run. You go to heal them, but have no options.

2nd - After fully healing your self, you get the silly "medic" beep noise when fully healing yourself. The beep they continues to loop after the heal is complete.

[silentghoust 132]

Any chance this script is still in active development? I would really like to see the ability to put wounded into vehicles.

[avibird 1 154]

Hey I don't really thing this script is working right now. Their are a few that just don't work since the last update A3

Hi!

I wast thinking to make revive a bit more realistic, because at current point it takes only few seconds.

I`ve modified revive function with some additional animations, hovewer it doesnt seem to work, (character just stands and doing nothin - idle animation) im new to scripting so if anyone can point me what is wrong - big thanks for him :)

FAR_HandleRevive =
{
private ["_target"];

_target = _this select 0;

if (alive _target) then
{
	//player playMove "AinvPknlMstpSlayWrflDnon_medic";

	player playMove "Acts_TreatingWounded_in";
	sleep 3;
	player playMove "Acts_TreatingWounded01";
	sleep 5;
	player playMove "Acts_TreatingWounded02";
	sleep 8;
	player playMove "Acts_TreatingWounded03";
	sleep 9;
	player playMove "Acts_TreatingWounded04";
	sleep 5;
	player playMove "Acts_TreatingWounded05";
	sleep 10;
	player playMove "Acts_TreatingWounded06";
	sleep 6;
	player playMove "Acts_TreatingWounded_Out";
	sleep 4;

	_target setVariable ["FAR_isUnconscious", 0, true];
	_target setVariable ["FAR_isDragged", 0, true];

	sleep 6;


              .....

[phant 10]

So at the moment I have the below values set in the damage handling init of the FAR_Revive script. Right now it is taking only 1 bullet from literally any gun (even a pistol) to any body part (even the foot) to put someone into the unconscious state. What values do I increase/decrease so that a player can take more damage before being put into the unconscious state.

////////////////////////////////////////////////

// Handle Death

////////////////////////////////////////////////

FAR_HandleDamage_EH =

{

private ["_unit", "_killer", "_amountOfDamage", "_isUnconscious"];

_unit = _this select 0;

_amountOfDamage = _this select 2;

_killer = _this select 3;

_isUnconscious = _unit getVariable "FAR_isUnconscious";

if (alive _unit && _amountOfDamage >= 1 && _isUnconscious == 0) then

{

_unit setDamage 0;

_unit allowDamage false;

_amountOfDamage = 0;

[_unit, _killer] spawn FAR_Player_Unconscious;

};

_amountOfDamage

};

I have tried setting values to the below, but it breaks the script completely. Any ideas fellas?

_amountOfDamage = _this select 1;

AND

if (alive _unit && _amountOfDamage >= 0 && _isUnconscious == 0) then

[profcupcake 11]

Farooq is not the most reliable person on these forums, and there's clearly a lot of problems here.

I probably know this script just as well as he does at this point, so I'm gonna start solving problems.

Wowzers. Welcome to scripting, you're clearly new.

Okay, so the first number you changed there has completely broken it. The "select" command simply selects an element from an array; by changing it, it is now selecting the wrong number. Change it back.

The second number you've changed has resulted in ANY damage making someone unconscious. 0 damage is fully healed; 1 damage is basically dead. Not the other way around.

As to what caused your original problem in the first place, I have no idea. If you have any weapon/damage mods enabled, it's probably those. This script should not be doing that. Try a test mission with no mods or scripts enabled other than Farooq's Revive.

I'd recommend using playAction instead. There are cases where playMove has an advantage over it, but this is not one of them. The specific actions you're looking for will be "medicStart" and "medicStop". An extra advantage of this is that, with the engine dynamically applying the animation for as long as the action is active, you can have a randomised duration for healing (or, for example, have healing take longer for non-medics). This is, in fact, the exact thing I do in my medical system. Shameless self-advertising.

Very good script! But there is a problem. After I respawn, the player is constantly moving. How to fix it?

It's a quirk of disablePlayerInput. Basically, any keys that were pressed when you got knocked down will act as if they are being constantly held. To stop it, simply press whichever keys are acting as if they are held (e.g. if you are constantly running to the left, you'd probably press A).

It's unfixable without a considerable amount of workaround, or possibly the addition of a better command by BI.

I don't think those variables are present server-side. I'll look into it and come up with a solution within the hour day. I said day. None of you saw "hour" here. Liars.

UPDATE: Alright, I've got it. You're going to need to add something to your init.sqf, though.

At line 36 of the init.sqf, modify it so that it is as follows:

if (isDedicated) exitWith {"FAR_deathMessage" addPublicVariableEventHandler nameOfYourServerSideFunction;};

Then, within your server's function, _this select 1 will point to an array containing the victim's name in index 0 and the killer's name in index 1.

To clarify within a script...

nameOfYourServerSideFunction = 
{
   _victim = _this select 1 select 0;
   _killer = _this select 1 select 1;
   // And then from here on you can do your function's stuff as required
};

Note that this assumes the server is dedicated.

Would that work for you?

Thanks for taking the time to help us with our problems.

I am very new to scripting, yes :)

So I have just run a test without any mods and same default settings. Again 1 bullet to the foot is dropping the player on their back. I was hoping there was a way to increase the damage threshold before unconscious state in this script but I guess not. As soon as I disable the script entirely it's back to the usual 3 bullets to the leg/5 to the chest before the player is killed. It's only when I'm using this script that player's start taking 1 bullet to kill. If you don't have any ideas that's okay, thanks for pointing out my previous mistakes anyway!

Hi,

we are a team playing mostly on PVE missions with this script and we also noticed this second bug. When a medic heals someone or himself, sometimes, the beep noise stays and the medic loose the ability to interact with anything (opening door, entering vehicule or healing again). Droping the medic bag fix the sound bug but not the interaction problem. We never had such problem before the last update with the helicopter update. Any idea ?

thx

Hi there, im currently trying to implement Farooqs revive into my missions and implemented it exactly as it said on the read me file, however im running into a big problem. In the SP and MP editors, the revive script works fine, but as soon as i run it out of editor in SP or MP, it refuses to even acknowledge the scripts existence. Now I am unsure if it needs to be on a dedicated server or not as my games are done through LAN simulation through Evolve as i cant figure out port forwarding. So if anyone can help me with a solution that would be much appreciated thanks. Also to note, i am new to scripting so i dont know if its anything obvious or not

[moharisy 10]

When i preview my mission in editor where the revive script works, it says at the bottom left corner when i start the preview:

"Module curator not owned, player used instead in singleplayer"

I believe this pops up because i have mcc sandbox but this message does not pop up when i run my mission in SP or MP and the script does not work. They just die. Just thought this extra info may be of use to anyone

It's unfixable without a considerable amount of workaround, or possibly the addition of a better command by BI.

I found this one. Untested. According to Killzone kid, going through disablePlayerInput one extra time would clear the inputs. SO he suggested:

disableUserInput true; 
//do something 
disableUserInput false; 
disableUserInput true; 
disableUserInput false;

Another bug I found was when a player dies in a static weapon, they are ejected. Since there is no Eject action menu that player simply remains on the gun. moveOut command might be useful in that situation instead of eject command. (between the disableUserInput commands)

This started to happen after the most recent patch. This happens with almost every revive script. It will happen if a player is healing somebody and they move while doing it. If the player who is being healed moves away, the medic loses action menu. It is something BI introduced, and only one way to confirm that would be to test this theory with a non-scripted environment in a dedicated server. A medic heals a wounded soldier, but the woulded soldier moves away in the process. So for now, the best workaround is not to heal anybody unless they ask for it. Thus, have attention on the medic and will not move until the healing process is done.

disableUserInput is the command I was talking about.

I keep mistakenly calling it disablePlayerInput because I am a gibbon.
