Need help tweaking scripts dealing with bandages in SLX

Hey guys,

Im working on a full bug free version of SLX, which is going well.

ATM I am trying to tweak a file that allows the player to bandage them self ingame when wounded.

What I'm looking to do is tweak this feature as when you are wounded ingame and bandage yourself,

you will go into this crouch like animation, then go back to a normal stance when done bandaging.

Problem is 1 bandage dont do a dam thing, so you have to bandage yourself like 8-10 times to get the bleeding to stop,

and its rather annoying.

I'd like to get it to where its 1-2 bandages before your "healed" at least not bleeding to death.

What i need help with is to identify and I got an idea of what lines or code it is to tweak but not 100%

sure so I need help to identify and how to tweak them.

here are the 2 scripts Im looking at i think deal with the bandaging/bleeding:

what I bolded is what i was thinking had to do with the number of times you had to bandage

as well as the rate of which you bled.

and then for the 2nd script was looking at the bleed rate, but I have no idea on what to actually change.

Can anyone help?

Nobody has any idea, or can point out something I dont know, I'm looking to learn.

It looks like the part of that you emboldened is just a debug message Solus inserted for testing. All it does is send a chat message with the parameters passed to the script from the executing instance.

I would not try to adjust SLX_Bleeding.sqf. I don't think there are any changes to be made there unless you want to reduce the overall bleed rate and there appears to be quite a few things tied into it, so changing it might break something.

If you want to adjust how much bleeding is stopped when the player is bandaging himself, I think you need to adjust the number in this if-block in SLX_Bandage.sqf

if(_ally==_unit)then{
_unit setVariable ["SLX_BleedRate",(_unit getvariable "SLX_BleedRate")*.5,true];
};

As currently written it would appear to reduce bleeding by 50% (.5). Try tweaking that number until you get the desired result. Good luck and let me know if that has no apparent effect.

Hi Loyalguard,

Makes sense, i will try that.

I was looking at the bleedrate, but was pondering on what do i change here to slow it down faster.

---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ----------

Tested it out, thru a couple of grenades near, to get myself wounded, and the bandage thing didn't come up and

i know I was wounded as I was bleeding on the arms and legs but no actual blood drops, its like SLX wounds stopped working and I couldn't walk.

I also got errors saying stuff is missing when i started the test, so its got to be something else.

Did you get errors just from changing .5 to something else or did you make other changes?

Ya I got errors, the Slx_wounds stopped working, i got a few errors these are what they were:

Warning Message: Cannot load texture slx_wounds\data\periph_blood_ca.paa.

Warning Message: Cannot load texture slx_wounds\data\slx_woundedhead.paa.

Animation slx_wounds\anim\dragger\slx_draggerdrivergetout.rtm not found or empty

Animation slx_wounds\anim\dragger\slx_draggerdriver.rtm not found or empty

that was the RPT, but ingame I mostly got

Cannot load texture slx_wounds\data\periph_blood_ca.paa. right when i loaded the mission, and the mission

was just a soldier nothing else, i had him throw a grenade close by and he got wounded from it, and fromt hat the SLX_wounds

wouldn't do anything, no blood, nothing.

So im thinking it has to be something else.

Either slow the bleedrate, or fix it so that when you bandage that you only need to bandage once,

so there has to be a line of code that says how much to heal per bandage, i mean it takes quite a few bandages

depending how wounded you are to just to stop bleeding, and Im sure it is realistic in some way but ingame its annoying, I think 1-2 times is enough.

There is a lot going on in both of those scripts. Have you seen a player have the ability to bandage themselves? The reason I ask is because it looks to me that if you are wounded you can't bandage yourself....unless I am reading it incorrectly.

There is also the consideration that it looks like bleed rate might also be influenced by what body parts are also hit, so, if you are wounded in legs, hands, head, etc....you might need more than one bandage.

I am now not sure if SLX_Bandage.sqf even works for the player on himself.

This needs a deeper look.

Srry for the late reply, ya no matter what wounding you got be it multiple places you can bandage yourself.

Thats probably what it is as you said

if you are wounded in legs, hands, head, etc....you might need more than one bandage.

the wounding system is body part specific.

Maybe it should be left alone, dont really know what else to do with it, unless you got ideas.

Let me chew on it for a ahwile but I am trying to wrap up a couple of other projects right now and do not have much free time. I'll get back to you ASAP.

Sounds good, I appreciate the help.
