How do I script the following...

[BEAKSBY 11]

I want to say...

if there is no _killer then assign _killer = to the player(human) on the opposite side of _unit (that was killed).

I'm stuck at:

if ( isNull _killer) then {_killer = ??? something with playerSide , player and _unit and not ???};

Thanks in-advance

BTW this is for when an explosion kills an unit nearby since the "Killed" Event Handler does not return the killer for this case.

How about tsomething like this?

_unit addeventhandler ["killed",
{
private ["_unit","_killer"];
_unit = _this select 0;  
_killer = _this select 1;
if (isNull _killer) then 
	{
	if ((side player) getFriend (side _unit) < 0.6)
		{
		_killer = player;
		};	
	};  
}];

Not on Arma box, can't test it for you.

Yes but this is for MP, don't you have to designate the side of the player then?

Silly me, I completely overlooked where you asked about this being for MP. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/playerSide

Dead/killed unit will be Civilian, to get the actual side you will need to check the config

real_side = getNumber (configFile/"CfgVehicles"/(typeOf _unit)/"side");

results should be as follows

0=east

1=west

2=resistance

3=civilian

REALSIDE

I suggest using faction

does the same as above.

Thanks, but...

...In my MP script when a unit in the "Killed" Event Handler is killed by a nearby explosion explosion, the

Dead/killed unit will be Civilian, to get the actual side you will need to check the config

as F2K Sel described.

So, getting back to my original request in post #1, I think my script should look like this:

_unit addeventhandler ["killed",

{

private ["_unit","_killer"];

_unit = _this select 0;

_killer = _this select 1;

_realSide = 0;

if ((side _unit) == civilian) then { //---if dead soldier was killed by an explosion

_realSide = getNumber (configFile/"CfgVehicles"/(typeOf _unit)/"side"); //---get actual side of dead soldier

if (side player != _realSide) then {_killer = player}; //---set player as _killer of _unit

};
