EH HandleDamage Help

[Alert23 215]

Hey,

can someone help me with a code?

i'am trying to make the player unkillable and Prevent death but still take damage and in the same time increase his health,

because i want to create a custom deathscene where if the damage of the player reaches 0.8 or 0.9 he will fall in unconsciousness and then my code follows.

 

i tried like this:

player addEventHandler [  
"handleDamage",  
{ 0.9;}];

this works, but i cant add a code to increase the health in the same time, tried like this:

 

player addEventHandler [  
"handleDamage",  
{ 0.9; 
 _unit = _this select 0;  
 _dmg  = _this select 2;  
               _oldDmg = damage _unit;  
               _dmg = _oldDmg + (_dmg / 50);
	_dmg;    
} ];

this increases the health but now the player isent unkillable and my code dosent fire because player dies.

if I understood ur situation then this could work:

player addEventHandler ["handleDamage",  
{ 
 _dmg  = _this select 2;  
 (_dmg * 0.9)    
}];

hmm, sry.

somehow it dosent work.

player gets still killed if hit by a tankshell.

 

what i try to achive is that nothing can kill the player but player can still take damage.

[sarogahtyp 1104]

in this case just do a check if damage value is bigger than 0.9 and return 0.9 in that case.

 

can not show it cause i m on mobile now

yes i tried it with two triggers:

 

trigger 1:

Condition:

damage player >= 0.8

ONAC:

some code

 

 

trigger 2:

Condition:

damage player >= 0.9

ONAC:

player setdammage 0.8

 

 

but if player gets hit by a tankshell he will still die.

[sarogahtyp 1104]

not in a trigger. in the event handler code

[sarogahtyp 1104]

tested and working for me:

d = this addEventHandler ["handleDamage",   
{  
 _dmg  = (_this select 2) * 0.9;
 if (_dmg > 0.9) then {0.9} else {_dmg};
}];

}];

 

yes indeed this does work thanks so far 👍

but i want to add another HandleDamage EH which increases players Health:

 

increase health:

player addEventHandler [   
"handleDamage",   
{   
 _unit = _this select 0;   
 _dam  = _this select 2;   
               _oldDmg = damage _unit;   
               _dmg = _oldDmg + (_dmg / 50);
 _dmg;     
} ];

now if i add both then the first one will be ignored.

[sarogahtyp 1104]

try this:

d = this addEventHandler ["handleDamage",   
{  
 _dmg  = (_this select 2) * 0.02;
 if (_dmg > 0.9) then {0.9} else {_dmg};
}];

damage can be 0.0 (full health)  upto 1.0 (dead)

 

factor 0.2 is calculated by 1 / 50 = 0.2

 

this should reduce the taken damage by factor 50 and stops getting damage at 0.9

 

 

EDIT: not working, damage gets reduced to much. damage has to get stored in a global variable...

Note that this eventhandler is broken for JIP. So use in SP only (unless preventing JIP).

[sarogahtyp 1104]

SARO_global_damage = 0;


d = this addEventHandler ["handleDamage",   
{  
 _dmg  = _this select 2;
 
 SARO_global_damage = SARO_global_damage + ( _dmg - SARO_global_damage) * 0.02;
 
 if (SARO_global_damage > 0.9) then {0.9} else {SARO_global_damage};
}];

this should work

I ran into problems myself a couple of weeks ago when I tried to create a similar script. When I googled I found this, which was somewhat close.

 

 

[engima 327]

What I found more precicely was that it seems to work when player is local to - and when EH is executed on - the server. But on client (local unit and EH fires on client), when JIPing and EH returning 0.99, the EH fires, but the damage dealt to the unit is not the value being returned from the EH. Thus, the unit often dies.

}];

this should work

yes this does work thank you Saro.

How are you supposed to use it for JIP?

What do you mean? Why would there be a difference? I wanted to control the damage dealt to a player, no matter if he is a JIP or not.

You claim it is broken specifically for JIP, so I’m asking how do you test it, how does one use this EH for JIP that is different from other uses?

[engima 327]

Two Steam accounts. One assigned a slot from start, and the other enters the server later. (A dedicated server). The EH is added in the same way, from init.sqf:

 

player addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", ... ];

 

I tried to prevent players from dying, and always enter inconsiousness. But soon I noticed that some died instantly, and after some research i found this issue.

 

(I assume this should work, i.e. the eventhandler should be local to the player. But anyway I tried some more, like adding the EH on server, which did not work either.)

Well, only the last EH can override the damage, if you added your EH too soon, then EH added after yours will override it. And BI also adds own HandleDamage EH, so it must have been added later than yours

Ok, tanks, that's interesting. Then I will try again. How do I know when BI adds own HandleDamage EH (for JIPs)? waitUntil { ... }; ?

[killzone_kid 1326]

when you add EH and returned index is 1 then you are adding it after the one BI added, if index is 0 you are the first one. Dunno if you can waitUntil for something, but you can give a good sleep to your script to make sure

you could try to add the eh by a post init function or check for that bis init variable to be true. i forgot its name but it should be mentioned on wikis init order page
