Arma 3 Revive Question

[uncookedzebra 13]

I have been using the standard revive system for most of my missions for Arma 3. The problem I am running into recently for a mission is that once revived you no longer can be picked up again if downed. I understand that for realism that is awesome but for a less realistic and more forgiving mission multiple pickups in one run would be nice. I searched for a function that can set this but no luck. Anyone have an answer, besides using a different revive system? Thanks in advance.

What do you mean by "picked up"? Are you in Arma vanilla (no mods)?

[uncookedzebra 13]

Yes, just using the vanilla Arma Apex. When I say pick up I mean when a player is switched to the incapacitated state and then another friendly player holds space to "pick them up" to set the incapacitated player to a healthy state. This is using the End Game Revive System.

Check in the editor "Attributes >> Multiplayer >> Revive >> Incapitation Mode". It should say "Basic" which means the players will always enter incapitation mode. Or at least it should...

[uncookedzebra 13]

That is the case. Players will enter incapitation mode once after receiving max damage. After the one time they will force respawn. I am looking to have it unlimited times.

You can make choice also to "pay" with a first aid kit. So, in this case, you can't do that if you don't have anymore FAK.

Okay found the following in BIS_fnc_reviveOnPlayerHandleDamageBasic:

//check if unit is not in vehicle and there is at least one other friendly player with revive enabled; otherwise kill the unit

and

//kill unit if there are no friendlies with enabled revive

 

Complete script:

Spoiler

// File: a3\funcitons_f_mp_mark\revive\fn_reviveOnPlayerHandleDamageBasic.sqf
#include "defines.inc"

#define DEBUG_LOG		bis_fnc_logFormat

params ["_unit", "_selection", "_damage","_source","","_index"];

if (local _unit || {alive _unit}) then
{
	//kill player if he is in vehicle that blows up
	if (vehicle _unit != _unit && {!alive vehicle _unit}) exitWith
	{
		//["[x] Vehicle exploded, player should die..."] call DEBUG_LOG;

		forceRespawn _unit;

		SET_STATE(_unit,STATE_DEAD);

		MAX_SAFE_DAMAGE
	};

	if (IS_DISABLED(_unit)) then
	{
		if (_index == -1) then
		{
			//update damage value
			if (bis_revive_bleeding) then
			{
				private _damagePrev = damage _unit;
				private _damageRecieved = (_damage - _damagePrev) max 0.35;

				_unit setVariable [VAR_DAMAGE, (_unit getVariable [VAR_DAMAGE, 0]) + _damageRecieved];
			};
		};

		_damage = MAX_SAFE_DAMAGE min _damage;
	}
	else
	{
		//validate _source
		if (isNull _source) then
		{
			_source = missionNamespace getVariable ["bis_revive_lastAttacker",objNull];
		}
		else
		{
			bis_revive_lastAttacker = _source;
		};

		if (_damage >= 1 && {_index <= 7}) then
		{
			_damage = MAX_SAFE_DAMAGE;		//can be a different value if we dont want player to breath and cry in pain so much

			//check if unit is not in vehicle and there is at least one other friendly player with revive enabled; otherwise kill the unit
			if (vehicle _unit == _unit && {{REVIVE_ENABLED(GET_UNIT(_x)) && {side group _unit getFriend side group GET_UNIT(_x) >= 0.6}} count bis_revive_handledUnits > 0}) then
			{
				//["[x] Player should enter incapacitated state!"] call DEBUG_LOG;

				SET_STATE(_unit,STATE_INCAPACITATED);

				//award attacker with +1 'infantry kill' point
				[_source] spawn bis_fnc_reviveAwardKill;
			}
			//kill unit if there are no friendlies with enabled revive
			else
			{
				//["[x] Player should die!"] call DEBUG_LOG;

				forceRespawn _unit;

				SET_STATE(_unit,STATE_DEAD);
			};
		};

		//["[i] Damage returned: %1 @ %2",_selection,_damage] call DEBUG_LOG;
	};
};

_damage

 

 Also it might be worth to do the following (needs some work):

   _unit setVariable [VAR_REVIVE_ENABLED, false, true]; // Disables revive; Taken from "a3\funcitons_f_mp_mark\revive\fn_disableRevive.sqf"

I can't find the VAR_REVIVE_ENABLED anywhere. It has to be defined somewhere since variables can only be strings. I guess it is in the "defines.inc" which has to be somewhere in the folder with the other functions.

[uncookedzebra 13]

O nice. I found the REVIVE_ENABLED in the functions viewer but had no idea how to access it. the format I found it in used  REVIVE_ENABLED(player,true/false)
