Arma 3 Revive System - handle damage

[Chris_37 0]

Hello wondering if anyone is able to help me currently i am attempting to create it so when a unit enters the INCAPACITATED state a dialog appears on the screen not sure if i am going about it right however i currently have 

 

if (lifeState _unit == "INCAPACITATED") then {

createdialog "blah";

};

 

this ^ in my event handler handle damage but cant seem to get it to work any ideas?

This state is not immediate when you trigger the EH.

That means you need to wait for it,... inside the EH or in a loop. So, the added value of the EH, here, is not evident. Just say, you'll start your loop at the first hit instead of the start of the game,... but you must avoid multiple repetitions of the code (each hit parts damage).

 

Roughly:

thisUnit spawn {

  while {true} do {

    waitUntil {sleep 2; lifeState _this == "incapacitated"};

    < code you want>;

    waitUntil {sleep 2; lifeState _this != "incapacitated"};

  }

};

 

or

thisUnit addEventHandler ["handleDamage", {

  params ["_unit"];

  _unit spawn {

    waitUntil { lifeState _this == "incapacitated" && isNil {_this getVariable "EHTreated"} };

    _this setVariable ["EHTreated", true];

    < code you want>;
    waitUntil { lifeState _this != "incapacitated"}
    _this setVariable ["EHTreated",nil]

  };

}];

 

Added value?

Do it in damaged EH instead. The revive handleDamage works out what damage the unit will receive. The damage EH will receive applied damage, specifically on the Incapacitated hit point when going incapacitated.

//initPlayerLoacl.sqf

#include "\a3\functions_f_mp_mark\revive\fn_reviveinit.sqf"

params[ "_player" ];

_player addEventHandler [ "Dammaged", {
	params[ "_unit", "", "_damage", "", "_hitPoint", "_source" ];

	if ( _damage >= 1 && { REVIVE_ENABLED( _unit ) && { _hitPoint == "Incapacitated" }}) then {
		if (!IN_VEHICLE(_unit)) then {
			//Unit being set to incapacitated
			//Do what ever

			//Test: Tell everyone this unit has been incapacitated
			format[ "Unit: %1 incapacitated", name _unit ] remoteExec [ "hint", 0 ];
		};
	};
}];

Put through very little testing. Keep in mind this may change with the coming update, especially the in vehicle part, as I believe they have made some changes to the revive system.

@Larrow @pierremgi thanks guys, don't suppose it s possible to stop the player from rolling over when Incapacitated?
