Addeventhandler "hit" query

[terox 316]

The addeventhandler "Hit" creates an array automatically when the event occurs

This array is made up of two elements

_victim = _this select 0

_shooter = _this select 1

any script that is run from an addevent is run locally on the "_victims" client

Using a script on the clients machine, you can setdammage to the _shooter

You can probably setpos _shooter as well and maybe some other set commands

My problem is, i need the _shooter client to know he is the _shooter, so i can run a punishment system for him

I have tried setting viewdistance 500 for the _shooter on the _victims machine, then checking on the _shooters client to see if he had viewdistance 500, it didnt work

I dont want to setpos the _shooter

My theory to get it working was

On the _victims machine, eg.

_shooter = shooter; publicvariable "shooter"

On the server

@! shooter objnull

shooter = killer; publicvariable "Killer"

shooter = objnull

On all clients machines

in a looping system

?(Player = killer):goto "Labelname"

(Basically i have respawndelay set to 0.1 for everybody)

Under normal respawn conditions, a script run locally on all clients, loops the clients player in a cutscene until his respawntime is up.

During this loop, i want the _shooter to check to see if he is the _shooter, then the script can jump to another label

I tried my theory but could not get the _shooter client to recognise himself as "Killer"

I'll just point out syntax errors:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">@! shooter objnull what is shooter objnull? It's not a valid statement I don't think.

Quote[/b] ]?(Player = killer):goto "Labelname"

Thats an assignment operator, try ?(Player == killer):

forget the typo errors thats just me typing in forums instead of cut n paste

The problem still exists  i need to let the _shooters client know he is the _shooter

only the _victims client knows who he is

**********************************************

*********************************************

The system in full

The addevent "hit" occurs anywhere on the map

When the event does occur, the spawnkill.sqs (Locally run on the _victims machine)  queries where the _shooter and the _victim are. If either are in a safezone, (This is an illegal kill) then it kills the _shooter, and either repairs the _victim or immediately respawns him to the same location he died, with the weapons loadout he died with.

If its a legal kill the dead victim simply goes into the normal respawn routine and the shooter remains unpunished

Now if anyone dies, they go into a cutscene loop which acts as a respawn delay (The actual respawndelay = 0.1)

During this cutscene loop, i want the respawn.sqs to check and see if the _shooter is the local player and if he is, break out of the normal respawn loop into an even longer loop.

Everything works apart from the fact, that the _shooter client doesnt know he is the shooter and therefore doesnt break out of the normal respawn loop

so now to the scripts

[dinger 1]

you can do something like this:

in the Hit EH:

murderer = _shooter

publicvariable "murderer"

that should work okay, not great, but okay.

aha always good for someone to see it from a different point of view, thanks a lot will try this
