civilian casualties counter

[davidoss 552]

Hi.

 

Have found on ARMA2 forum some code by Shuko  which can be useful for my Insurgency mission.

I don't knew for now if this is  arma 3 compatible but i wanna ask you fellows if there are any possibility to

get player kicked if he exceeds the CK limit (SHK_DeadCivilianLimit = 10;).

If not maybe someone knew different  way  how the mission  could punish the player for too many civilian casualties?

SHK_DeadCivilianCount = 0;
SHK_DeadCivilianLimit = 10;
SHK_fnc_deadCivilians = {
  hintsilent format ["Civilians dead: %1",_this];
  if (_this >= SHK_DeadCivilianLimit) then {
    player sidechat "mission end"; // end mission, do whatever
  };
};
if isserver then {
  {
    if (side _x == Civilian && _x iskindof "Man") then {
      _x addEventHandler ["killed", {
        SHK_DeadCivilianCount = SHK_DeadCivilianCount + 1;
        publicvariable "SHK_DeadCivilianCount";
        if !isdedicated then {
          SHK_DeadCivilianCount call SHK_fnc_deadCivilians;
        };
      }];
    };
  } foreach allunits;
};
if !isdedicated then {
  "SHK_DeadCivilianCount" addpublicvariableeventhandler { (_this select 1) call SHK_fnc_deadCivilians };
};

you could set his position to somewhere off map and use disableUserInput true.

Also you could use the #kick server command. No idea if you can use it from within a script.

Back in A2 there was a function that would actually exit the game using the menu controls, no idea if this is still possible in A3.

 

Cheers

SHK_fnc_deadCivilians = {
	hintsilent format ["Civilians dead: %1",_this];
	if (_this >= SHK_DeadCivilianLimit) then {
		player sidechat "mission end";

		[] spawn {
			sleep 5;

			player endMission "LOSER";
		};
	};
};

Also you need to use database like [[<uid1>, <civKillsNum1>], ...] if your mission is for multiplayer, because you need to kick player who killed 10 civilians, not player who killed last civilian.

			if (_lv1 == -1) then {
				_pn = 0;
				_this select 1 setVariable ["_p",_pn];
				lac = lac + _la2;
			} else {
				_la2 = [_this];
				_pn = (_this select 1) getVariable "_p";
				_pn = _pn + 1;
				_this select 1 setVariable ["_p",_pn];
				if (_pn > 2) then { //How muh cicilians killed by the unit, can add any number of levels: after 2 kills, after 3 kills... by repiting the section;
					hint format ["%1 is under invastigation",_this select 1]; //replase this on what you want to do with unit;
					//_pn = 0;				|
					//_this select 1 setVariable ["_p",_pn];|if you want to restart counting kills;
					//lac = lac - _la2; if after punishment unit will not exist use to remove him from counting (for clearing);
				};
			};
			_la1 = [_this select 0];
			ac = ac - _la1;
			//};
		}];
		ac = ac + _la;
	};
} forEach allUnits;
sleep 10;
};

That will work for all civilians even if they added after mission start

Ilias38rus, your code is very unclear and irrational.

I'm sorry, sended it to early, now is finished

[Grumpy Old Man 3546]

Again, your code is nonsensical.

Those weirdly named variables make it a pain to look through aswell.

I do not care about opinions, this is best functionality code is possible to create for the situation

you writing like dictionary page trying to explain variables, i using 3 leters to know what type of the variable, where is it and what mean

You are greatly mistaken.

If it's not so borring, can you show masterclass by making skript with same functionality more rational?

[Grumpy Old Man 3546]

A good start would be to not use a while true loop, then replace slow, deprecated commands with their faster counterparts.

If then else will always be slower than multiple if then checks as an example.

Then there's the new param and params commands (which are a godsend in many ways).

Ilias38rus, the most rational solution is to add Killed event handlers to civilians after its creation once as I and others suggested you on arma3.ru.

How to detect they creation?

[Schatten 290]

How to detect they creation?

_unit = _group createUnit [...];

_unit addEventHandler ["Killed", {...}];

[Ilias38rus 5]

_unit = _group createUnit [...];

_unit addEventHandler ["Killed", {...}];

Units in the mission can be created by zeus, by mcc, by skripts and not even shure what thats all

Nice ideas i will look into this.

 

SHK_fnc_deadCivilians = {
	hintsilent format ["Civilians dead: %1",_this];
	if (_this >= SHK_DeadCivilianLimit) then {
		player sidechat "mission end";

		[] spawn {
			sleep 5;

			player endMission "LOSER";
		};
	};
};

This is little too complicated i think.

whats wrong with a while true loop?

[Schatten 290]

How are you going to determine who killed 10 civilians? Without DB you can't determine this. E.g. player1 killed 9 civilians, player2 killed 1 civilian. In your current implementation player2 will be kicked, because SHK_DeadCivilianLimit will be 10 after killing civilian by player2.

Jst use mine and no problems)

Ah understand. Thanks for explanation.

Can you please at least say how to execute this ?

[Ilias38rus 5]

just put in any file and Write in init.sqf execVM "_filename.sqf_"

[davidoss 552]

Sorry your code is not working at all.

[davidoss 552]

Ok maybe something easier.

 

I can add eventhandler to each civilian unit on the mission by Extended_Init_EventHandlers .

 

And i need just a  chat message on system chat who killed a civilian person.

 

How do i get that?
