Creating an ACE 3 unconscious player marker

[Rawshark 11]

 I was wondering if it was possible to create a script where, once a player goes down, their unconscious position could be marked on the map for all playable units to see. Scouring the internet I found a script where the positions would be revealed to the medics on the map

findDisplay 12 displayCtrl 51 ctrlAddEventHandler ["Draw",{
    if ([player] call ace_medical_fnc_isMedic) then {
        {
            if (_x getVariable ["ACE_unconcious",false]) then {
                _this select 0 drawIcon ['\A3\ui_f\data\igui\cfg\actions\heal_ca.paa',[1,0,0,1],position _x,24,24,0,name _x,1,0.03,'TahomaB','right']
            };
            false
        } count allPlayers
    };
}]

So, to make modify it a bit further would it be possible to edit it like so to make the positions be visible to all playable units?
 

findDisplay 12 displayCtrl 51 ctrlAddEventHandler ["Draw",{
    if (player) then {
        {
            if (_x getVariable ["ACE_unconcious",false]) then {
                _this select 0 drawIcon ['\A3\ui_f\data\igui\cfg\actions\heal_ca.paa',[1,0,0,1],position _x,24,24,0,name _x,1,0.03,'TahomaB','right']
            };
            false
        } count allPlayers
    };
}]

Sorry for the bump. Would still love any help as I haven't been able to get it to work.

player is not a boolean. So if (player) then { ...};   doesn't make sense.  Just remove this condition (mind for the both {} );

Hey Pierre,

Thanks for the reply! Does the following look about right? I didnt get any errors when in the editor but haven't as of yet tested it in MP.

findDisplay 12 displayCtrl 51 ctrlAddEventHandler ["Draw",{
    {
		if (_x getVariable ["ACE_unconcious",false]) then {
		_this select 0 drawIcon ['\A3\ui_f\data\igui\cfg\actions\heal_ca.paa',[1,0,0,1],position _x,24,24,0,name _x,1,0.03,'TahomaB','right']
        };
        false
    } count allPlayers
}];

Also if I may ask, for a dedicated server would this be better off in an init.sqf or initPlayerLocal.sqf?
Thanks again for the help!

[pierremgi 4738]

I guess you want to draw icon for players... so, the initPlayerLocal is fine.

The init. sqf works also if you are waiting for !isNull findDisplay 12 (i.e. in mission screen) or other means.

On a dedicated server or headless clients, there is no interface (player), so findDisplay 12 displayCtrl 51 (in game) is probably never met. But no worry for playing clients.

Thank you so much. Will just insert it to initPlayerLocal and see how it goes. 😀

Thanks again!

Here is a nice script snippet that would allow quick revives like invade and annex when using ACE.

 

med = {

	if ( (typeOf player == "rhsusf_socom_marsoc_sarc") or (typeOf player == "rhsusf_army_ocp_medic") || (_this select 0 distance player) < 3 ) then {
		["Administering first aid.", 9, {true}, {}, {}] call CBA_fnc_progressBar;
		player playMove "AinvPknlMstpSnonWnonDr_medic5";
		sleep 13;
		[player, _this select 0] call ace_medical_treatment_fnc_fullHeal;
	};
};

myfnc_uncon_special = {
	params ["_unit", "_isUnconscious"];

	if ( (typeOf player == "rhsusf_socom_marsoc_sarc") or (typeOf player == "rhsusf_army_ocp_medic") ) then {
		private _action = _unit addAction ["Revive", {call med;}];
		_unit setUserActionText [_action , "Revive", "<img size='2' image='\A3\Ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\Revive\overlayIcons\r75_ca.paa'/>"];
	};

if (!_isUnconscious) then {
	removeAllActions _unit;
};

};

["ace_unconscious", myfnc_uncon_special] call CBA_fnc_addEventHandler;

This might be very useful for you as well. Give it a go and see what you think.

This is very helpful.
Is there a way to make this available for unconscious BLUFOR (west) only? I think now it recognizes any unconscious. Also, does this work for for MP dedicated (running from initPlayerLocal.sqf)?
