can I just slap that on the end of the playerdied.sqf or is placement important?

[DangerRuss]

I love this script is their any way that i can make it show delayed so that person who died doesn't see it?

What would be the point of that? They can just go check the death boards.

[herculys]

this only appears for me if player who died is using skin Survivor2_DZ or Bandit2_DZ, i tested with a friend and when player who died is using sniper1_dz for exemple...

"custom kill msg" will not show.

 

*already using "steamROLLER" fix:

Add a 3 second delay sleep 3; above the following
_killer = _victim getVariable["AttackedBy", "nil"];
_killerName = _victim getVariable["AttackedByName", "nil"];

*already using  player_murderMenu.sqf  Possible Deathboard Fix by 0verHeat (idk what is this, but i'm using)

 

someone can give me a hand?

did you really put

"add a 3 second delay sleep 3; above the following"

in the code?

Cause if you did that would be your problem right there lol.

 

The bold word is what you're supposed to add, he's just explaining it in text. Immediately below the explanation is the entire file, you can literally just copy paste that file over your existing one, or use it as a reference.

Still a bit confused, does this completely replace the murdermenu.sqf or only a section? For example do I need to get rid of the dialogs at the top?

 

EpochDeathBoardDialogList = 21000;
EpochDeathBoardDialogSText = 21001;
EpochDeathBoardDeaths = [];

and isnt' the whole thing missing a

 

};

at the end?

 

I tried adding this in, and it didnt work. So either Im doing this wrong or it doesn't work.

[0verHeaT]

Yes, replace your whole player_murdermenu.sqf with the code I posted under 'player_murdermenu.sqf'.

 

Remember to add/replace this to your server_playerDied.sqf

_death_record = [
	_victimName,
	_killerName,
	_weapon,
	_pic,
	_distance,
	ServerCurrentTime
];
PlayerDeaths set [count PlayerDeaths,_death_record];

added sleep 4; to try and still not working if player died is sniper1_dz, with player Survivor2_DZ or Bandit2_DZ i dont have problems.

 

i need to add fixed kill msg??

[DangerRuss]

Ok once I replaced the entire thing including the dialogs at the top it works fine. Nice fix!

These are 100% working, if they dont work for you there is an issue somewhere else causing a conflict.

 

something wrong with your kill_msg.sqf, or wrong kill_msg.sqf in this post.

[DangerRuss]

something wrong with your kill_msg.sqf, or wrong kill_msg.sqf in this post.

ah thanks for pointing that out haha I guess copy didnt work and it just pasted the server_playerDied.sqf again.. I'll fix it now!

[0verHeaT]

If the message does not show up, I would rather consider the fnc_plyrhit.sqf.

This is actually the reason why some kills are not displayed/logged because the player hit isn't detected right.

I don't know yet if this missing hit detection is caused by the EventHandler itself or if it's just lagg.

I already tried to use the EventHandler 'MPKilled', but this did not lead to a practical result either..

It shows up fine if you put a sleep in the script and give it time to catch up. Its very similar to how my custom kill messages are on overwatch. I'd love to get a system chat message working in conjuction with it, so you see the picture and also get the system chat message which would allow you to scroll up in chat. The built in epoch ones only show a percentage of the time.

[0verHeaT]

If you want a systemChat message additionally

		_msg = format ["<Playerkill>: %1 was killed by %2 with a %3 from %4 meters",_victimName,_killerName,_weapon,(ceil distance)]; // <--- Edit HERE Your MSG
		customkillMessage = [_kill_txt,_msg];
		publicVariable "customkillMessage";
	};
};

you're the man! I just think it's nice to page up and see who killed who if you're not near a deathboard

[OsirisCRO]

Follow original instructions but use the server_playerdied.sqf that is posted here

 

The only difference is he added a sleep to make the script work more often. I doubt you need a full 3 seconds though. A half second works on my overwatch server. My overpoch is still too new yet to have much pvp but I'll let you know.

works like a charm! thanks bro

Did you added this line to your custom compiles?

call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers ""+YOURPATH+"\player_murderMenu.sqf";

Because it says that 'EpochDeathBoardLoad' is not defined.

[carl101]

yeah

 

call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "custom\player_murderMenu.sqf";

 

i simply dragged and dropped the file in your download, so i havnt edited it at all

 

edit

 

its obvisouly calling the file as it pulling the error, where would i define the variable  EpochDeathBoardLoad
