How can i loop Eventhandlers

[Leigham]

im trying to create a script, i dont want to let anything out yet but i can get it to work once like this 

 

player addEventHandler ["fired", ["fired", {player setDamage 0.1;}];

 

 

but i was wondering if there was a way of setting that 0.1 damage per "fired"

[TheVampire]

addEventHandler will keep the event there until it gets removed or reset.

 

The Epoch AH automatically resets it though, because setting

player addEventHandler ["fired", {false}];

is godmode.

[Leigham]

i was going to set it as godmode, but i was going to warn players if they shot once but then do 0.1 damage per shot after wards ? 

anyway of doing that within a trigger ?

[Leigham]

is there a way of setting a trigger to be activated by "fired" that way i could on activation deal 0.1 damage then on deactivation remove the eventhandler ?

Sorry bud, Epoch has those eventhandlers locked out for us to use.

I tried telling someone that in the safe zone thread.

My triggers would not work and the culprit was EPOCH so I moved to adding the EPOCH protection zones instead.

there has to be a way of getting triggers to work

You can get triggers to work, just not the specific ones Epoch uses.

 

If you give us more of an idea of what you are trying to do we might be able to point you to a workaround.

Yes Triggers do work and I have them incorporated into my safe zones.

Its a 3 part setup with the triggers notifying the player they are entering or leaving the server.

[Leigham]

i was going to put a notification going into the safezone with player allowDamage false then another leaving the safezone with false, ive tried putting it in my mission.sqm but server wont launch, so was trying to do it in a script 

which i started here  reason why its not working ?

Again, its epoch code that is resetting the allowDamage to true no matter what you do.

You have to find another route that I could not find.

The easy way is to just build the safe zones in the editor using the Epoch protection zones and I mean LOTS of them.

Mine are about 1200 to get at all 3 spawn points.

I believe I found the new server side update 0.2.5.2a locks out the server settings.pbo

Can anyone confirm this info?

I might post this question in its own thread.

    BuiltVehicle addEventHandler ["HandleDamage",
    {
        _vehobj = _this select 0;
        _location = _this select 1;  // type string
        _damage = _this select 2;   // type number
        _sourceobj = _this select 3;
        _projectile = _this select 4; // type string
        //ASSERT this EH only active when vehicle owned by AI.
       if ( isNull _sourceobj) then
       {
            _damage = 0;
         //  diag_log format ["##VEHICLE DAMAGE: Reduced to ZERO ########"];
        };
        _damage       
    }];

Leigham,

  See the above code. I use this with AI controlled vehicles, so that when they crash into stuff (they are real shitty drivers) they don't go boom, but the vehicles can still be shot at.

 

You should be able to add this to all players when they enter a safe area. Obviously you will need to manipulate it some to get your desired effect.

 

This code runs client side.  

[Leigham]

i would have no idea how to manipulate it lol
