Overwrite the List of Players (Pressing J)

[Guest]

Hi,

I was trying to overwrite that list when you press J or P, to kinda add more stuff in to it, so i tried creating a new task, very basic just with test standing in it. But nothing seems to work. Createsimpletask, settask etc.. i think it actually is a task, because it's showing in the top left corner "current" tasks.

So umm my guess is, that maybe it is inside a while loop or something so that it'll be overwritten. I didn't find that loop anywhere and i don't know where to search..

Anybody ever tryed to do this?

to overwrite them you could use your dayz_spaceinterrupt and some keyactions:

and

see how i did it with the flashlight script. I used there the "headlights" action to grab on whatever key a player has defined this key.

 

the same thing you can use to overwrite those action, at least i hope so :)

Thanks. Umm the is no problem with the Menu, that exists and is showing up fine, it's just not adding any entries to that... Just go ingame and Press J, you'll see your Tasks.

If you do it in the editor and create a task, it will be shown without any problem, but it won't work in Multiplayer for somehow.

If I remember right it was removed either by the dayz_code or some antihack.

I know for sure that infistar for example is blocking the createtask and other task commands

[SchwEde]

if its antihack, then you probalby could creat task from the server.

 

I will have look in the dayz_code to see if there is something in there.

 

edit:

 

Somewhere in the dayz_code:

Adding it to the server made no difference unfortunately.

//Bump. I still didn't find any solution for this

[SchwEde]

k, i will see what i can get there.

You just want to add some task for players?

[Guest]

I just killed my server, trying to make a dynamic vehicle painting, but yeah i'll show you once i get back in..

Willing to share?

This could be useful for important info for players like rules or specials :)
