Invincible after first death or any player that joins

[nebulazerz 18]

Hi, I have been away from arma coding for about 6 months to take some classes and I am picking back up on a mission I almost had finished when i left it. I have one major issue that I cannot seem to fix where I can die the first time I spawn in the mission, but I am invincible when I respawn. Any player that joins is invincible from the start. I have been digging through my code all morning but I cant find any line that would change damage after death. Anyone have any ideas on what could be happening here? Its been a little bit so I am kind of rusty at coding but its all coming back to me as I look it over, just not certain about some specifics. Could it be this is my description.ext?

 

respawn = 3;
respawnOnStart = -1;

Are you using any additional scripts?

The default Arma 3 Respawn system does not allow settings, that make players invincible after they have respawned.

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Respawn

Your issue might be down to using the Vanilla Respawn System/any Third-Party Revive system.

So then i should write my own respawn system or use one from the community and it should fix the problem? I will start with trying that.

 

 

Edit: I am trying to use respawn= 0; now with the onPlayerKilled but it takes me right to the death screen. Is there something specific I need to put in that EH file to stop it from ending the game? this is what I am currently trying in there.

 

// Set Respawn Pos

	
				switch (side player) do {
 
						case west: {
						_posRandom = ["respawn_west1","respawn_west2"] call bis_fnc_selectRandom;
						_position = getMarkerPos _posRandom vectorAdd [0,0,400];
						[_position] call neb_fnc_core_setStartingPos;
												
						
						
						};
 
						case east: {
						_posRandom = ["respawn_east1","respawn_east2"] call bis_fnc_selectRandom;
						_position = getMarkerPos _posRandom vectorAdd [0,0,400];
						[_position] call neb_fnc_core_setStartingPos;
						
						
						};
 
				};

The function just makes sure that the player respawns correctly by checking in  a loop until they are spawned.

 

Edit 2: Using respawn= 3; with the above seems to fix the problem. thanks for the help.

 

Edit 3: Nevermind, it seems I can kill myself with a grenade but cannot die any other way. Still working on a solution.

 

Edit 4: I have recorded a video of the bug in action. You can see the health bar jumping as if I am taking damage but everytime I take new damage it resets my health to 100% then gives me the new damage. Seems it could be something with one of my eventhandlers.

I am still having this issue, I cant find anything in my code that would cause this to happen. Has anyone else had this happen?

Why not showing ur EHs if u think it could be the cause?

 

Something like this could cause that behaviour:

_unit addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {0}];

the important thing there is that the code which is executed by the EH returns 0

Holy crap, thanks... never thought to Cntrl + F "handledamage".

 

Looks like i started experimenting with damage reduction and forgot about it -_- 

 

Found this in my function library (in a level reward script)

 

player addeventhandler ["HandleDamage",{(_this select 2) / 10;} ];

[sarogahtyp 1108]

fix:

player addeventhandler ["HandleDamage", {  if ((_this select 2)  <= 0) exitWith {}; ((_this select 2) / 10)} ];

Thanks, Ill try this out in my bubble effect instead of using allowDamage false. I plan on making a sort of tank class if you buy the armor from the shop that gives you the skill. I could even make different variations of damage reduction. Is there a way to make this effect everyone inside a certain area? would be cool to have players follow the tank class around and stay inside his defense bubble to take less damage while advancing the enemy. 

 

I have decided using this in level rewards though is a bad idea because it would bring a lot of balance issues for new players.

 

But I am also thinking about creating a deployable Item that is on a time limit and creates a defense shield where you take less damage inside.

 

Here is my bubble effect currently, its activated by putting on a certain type of clothing.

 

fnc_bubEffect = {
	params[ "_objNetID" ];
	
	_unit = objectFromNetId _objNetID;
	
	_unit setVariable[ "bubEffect", true ]; //local object variable
	
	if ( local _unit ) then {
		_unit allowDamage false; //AL and EG
	};
	
	_unit setAnimSpeedCoef 2;//Unsure of locality needs testing
	_unit switchMove "AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_EaseIn"; //AG and EL
	_unit setAnimSpeedCoef 0; //Unsure of locality needs testing
	
	while ( _unit getVariable[ "bubEffect", false ] ) do {
		
		drop [ //EL
			["\A3\data_f\ParticleEffects\Universal\Universal",16,13,7,0],"","BillBoard",
			1,1,[0,0.25,1],[0,0,0],
			random pi*2,1.277,1,0,
			[3],
			[[1,0,0,.5],[1,0,0,.5]],
			[10000],
			0,0,"","",
			_unit,0,
			false,-1
		];
		
		playSound "electricshock"; //EL
		_unit switchMove "AmovPercMstpSnonWnonDnon_Ease"; //AG and EL
		
		sleep 0.25; //This is the equivilent of you action per tick 6/24 = 0.25 seconds
	};
};

_skillE = [
	player,							//  0 object

	"images\blinkicon.paa",					//  2 idle icon
	"images\blinkicon.paa",					//  3 progress icon

		[ netId player ] remoteExec [ "fnc_bubEffect", 0, format[ "%1_bub", netId player ] ];

	//  7 code executed per ACTION tick ( Range 0 - 24 ), tick duration = action duration / MAX tick 24
