MPHit Eventhandler instigator

[draoth 13]

Hello everybody, 

 

I'm working on a script that will change a player his side when he's shot by a certain person. And change the player that shot the other player back. So it will always be a 3v1

The player that is last shot will be called = Active. The eventhandler doesn't work as i hoped it would, because everyone gets changed sides when shot by anyone.

I'm pretty certain that the mistake is in the first line, but i'll show it all:

 

_HITIT = Player1 addMPEventHandler ["MPHit", {if (_this select 4 == Active) then 
{
[Active] joinSilent (Friendlygroup); 

Active setObjectTexture [0, "#(rgb,8,8,3)color(0,0.1,0,1)"]};

Active = Player1;  

[Active] joinSilent (Enemygroup); 

Active setObjectTexture [0, "#(rgb,8,8,3)color(1,0,0,1)"];
}];

This is done for all 4 players.

Thank you for helping someone who has almost no experience in coding howsoever!

I guess you have named player1, player2... your playable units in editor.

But where active, friendlygroup, enemygroup,  (variables) come from?

They are set in different scripts: 

//First script
Friendlygroup = createGroup west; Enemygroup = createGroup east;

//ArrowSpin script that randomizes the first Active
while {true} do {
//player1
if (ArrowDir >180 && ArrowDir <235) then {ActiveP = Player1};
if (ArrowDir >135 && ArrowDir <180) then {ActiveP = Player1};

//player2
if (ArrowDir >45 && ArrowDir <90) then {ActiveP = Player2};
if (ArrowDir >90 && ArrowDir <45) then {ActiveP = Player2};

//player3
if (ArrowDir >0 && ArrowDir <45) then {ActiveP = Player3};
if (ArrowDir >315 && ArrowDir <360) then {ActiveP = Player3};

//player4
if (ArrowDir >270 && ArrowDir <315) then {ActiveP = Player4};
if (ArrowDir >235 && ArrowDir <275) then {ActiveP = Player4};

Pointer setPos [ getPos ActiveP select 0, getPos ActiveP select 1, 3];
if (Arrowspeed < 1) exitwith {};
sleep 0.1
}

I hope you can understand it a little, I know it's messy but i did my best

Hum, No chance to do something with that. I don't understand your infinite loop.

I made an arrow spinning in 360 degrees. 4 players stand around it. The infinite loop checks at what degree the arrow stops. When it stops it will set a player ActiveP.

The only part i need help with is this line. 

_HITIT = Player1 addMPEventHandler ["MPHit", {if (_this select 4 == ActiveP) then { ETC

Is the eventhandler correct? i want to check if the one that shot Player one is the same as ActiveP. That's why i put select 4, which is the instigator.

No,  instigator is select 3 but try something like this (SP/MP compatible)

just one EH in init.sqf or a trigger for example:

 

if (isServer) then {

  {

    _x addMPEventHandler ["MPHit", {
     [_this select 3] joinSilent (Friendlygroup);  
     (_this select 3) setObjectTextureGlobal [0, "#(rgb,8,8,3)color(0,1,0,1)"];
     ActiveP = _this select 0;   
    [ActiveP] joinSilent (Enemygroup);  
    ActiveP setObjectTextureGlobal [0, "#(rgb,8,8,3)color(1,0,0,1)"];
  }]} forEach switchableUnits + playableUnits;

};

Thank you so much! People like you are the reason i keep scripting. Have a good day!
