[SOLVED] Major glitch with Enhanced Movement and Epoch

[Grahame]

So there are a couple of serious glitches that are possible with the use of the Enhanced Interaction functionality within the Enhanced Movement mod on Epoch servers. Not going to list them here but they are incredibly serious and need to be fixed if you are running EM on your Epoch server. Thankfully, there is a quite easy solution to "turn off" Enhanced Interaction within the mission file. If you are already using the initPlayerLocal.sqf file for things like the autolockpicker, attaching demo charges to things and other stuff, then just add the following to it:

	[] spawn {
		while {true} do {
			if !((profilenamespace getvariable ["babe_int_keys_Use",[0,""]]) isequalto [0,""]) then {
				profilenamespace setvariable ["babe_int_keys_Use",[0,""]];
			};
			uisleep 1;
		};
	};	

If you are not already using the file, but are using EM then create an initPlayerLocal.sqf with the following:

if (!isDedicated and hasInterface) then 
{ 
	waitUntil {alive vehicle player};	
	waitUntil {typeOF player != "VirtualMan_EPOCH"};
	uisleep 15;	

	[] spawn {
		while {true} do {
			if !((profilenamespace getvariable ["babe_int_keys_Use",[0,""]]) isequalto [0,""]) then {
				profilenamespace setvariable ["babe_int_keys_Use",[0,""]];
			};
			uisleep 1;
		};
	};	
};

Repack the mission PBO, upload to your server and the possible glitches are dealt with, while still allowing the lovely niceness of Enhanced Movement to continue.

Thanks very much to @He-Manfor invaluable help in crafting the solution and thanks to Duralius, a player on my server for finding the glitches and not exploiting them. Good man!

This doesn't seem to work for me. Does this code still work. I have a major exploit.

[Grahame]

Nothings changed in Epoch that would affect this. PM me the exploit so I can confirm it is the same one I had. Don't want to put details in a public forum

[Sneer]

I sent you a message about it.

Was this ever sorted? Was just about to enable Enhanced Movement Mod on our server and wanted to check first.

[He-Man]

I think the workaround is still needed. But not sure

[Grahame]

Workaround is definitely still needed. Need to reverify that it works. Have had the chance to look at the latest EM code, has not changed. Will try to test this afternoon...

[Grahame]

Damn! Can confirm that the fix is broken. Will work on a new fix. Would not recommend running EM until it is fixed. Pretty big exploit - worse now because by default the Enhanced Movement and Enhanced Interaction keys are the same...

[82ndAB_Bravo17]

Thanks, glad I checked!

 

[Grahame]

Got to work out whether it's an ARMA change - the place you set the keys has changed now - or EM, where the code looks as it did before...

[megaz]

Any update on this a few players are requesting it but not if it is still has a exploit ?

 

Thanks

I posted on the Discord when someone mentioned it. Enhanced Interaction checks that the door is disabled via BIS_disabled_door_%
I'm not sure if Epoch buildables has the functionality to disable them this way, but if it does or adds it, and then makes it so the doors are disabled when locked, then Enhanced Interaction will no longer work.

If an Epoch Dev could look into it, that would be great.

[Sneer]

Just curious if a fix was found/developed?

[He-Man]

I am currently looking into this. Thx @TheVampirefor the hint to the BIS_disabled_door_% var.
The easiest way would be to disable it in general in Epoch. We could add an init to the Doors config.
It seems like this code from enhanced movement is only working for doors (not for Gates) in Epoch.
@Sneer can you confirm, that only the Wood / Metal and Cinder Door can be opened by enhanced?
If so, I would add the needed vars, so it will no longer work after the next Epoch update.

[He-Man]

@Sneer, please try out this:

[Sneer]

It all seems to be working, I tried metal garage, concrete garage, metal and cinder doors with no issues. I tried safes and vehicles which check out good.

The stairs with locking bars above are still an issue though.

 

[He-Man]

Have you tried to add the classname of the stairs to the config? 
There seems to be some more vars needed.
I will have another look soon. I think I have to rewrite it a bit to prevent too much new variables on all these Elements.

Will post here again, when done.

[He-Man]

@SneerI have now changed the codes.
Could you please check the changed codes and give some feedback?
It prevents too much unused Variables and I have added the Stairs.

I won't have time today and I'm leaving to florida tonight for a week.
