[WIP] Body armor script - Needing help!

[Reaper5150]

I'm currently working on a body armor script based off right click functions with Ceramic plates. I'm having a bit of an issue getting it to work though cause of the variables for increasing the players blood.

Here is the bit I have in variables.sqf but can't figure out where to put it? 

_pb = player getVariable["pb",0];
    if (isNil "_pb") then {
        _pb = 0;
    };
    _bloodCap = 12000;
    if (_pb== 1) then {
        _bloodCap = 13500;
    };
    r_player_blood = _bloodCap;
    r_player_bloodTotal = r_player_blood;
};

 

The script i have so far: Will be released when I can get it working! :)

 

private ["_humanity","_humanity2","_item","_inVehicle","_countplayers","_hasitems","P_hasarmor"];

_humanity = player getVariable["humanity", 5000];
_humanity2 = player getVariable["humanity", -5000];
_item = ["ItemCeramicParts"];
_hasitems = [_item] call player_checkItems;
_inVehicle = (_vehicle = player);
_countplayers = count nearestObjects [player, ["CAManBase"], 1];

    // Check if player is in skin with armor plate carrier
    
    while {true} do {
    if (_humanity >= 2500) exitWith {
    cutText [format["You need 5000 humanity to do that!"], "PLAIN DOWN"]; 
    };
    
    if (_humanity2 <= -2500) exitWith {
    cutText [format["You need -5000 humanity to do that!"], "PLAIN DOWN"]; 
    };

    // Let's check if they are in a vehicle
    
    if (_inVehicle) exitWith {
    cutText [format["You can't put on armor in a vehicle!"], "PLAIN DOWN"]; 
    };
    
    // No players should be around them
    
    if (_countplayers > 1) exitWith {
    cutText [format["You are too close to another player!"], "PLAIN DOWN"];
    };

    // Remove item from the gear
    
    if (call {_hasitems}) then {
    player removeMagazine "ItemCeramicParts";
    sleep 2;
    player playActionNow "PutDown";
    };
    
   // Player has armor on - Let others know
   P_hasarmor = "Sign_sphere10cm_EP1" createVehicle position player;
   P_hasarmor attachto [player,[0, 0.10, 0] "RightHandMiddle1"];

   // Let's change blood value and act as armor
   _pb = player getVariable["pb",0];
   r_player_bloodTotal = 12000;
   if (_pb == 1) then {
   r_player_bloodTotal = 13500;
   };

   // Adds nice text
   [format["<t size='1.2' color='#960000'size='0.9'>You have put on Body Armor</t>"],0,0,4,1] spawn BIS_fnc_dynamicText; 

   
   // Has player died - Then remove marker
   if (r_player_bloodTotal = 0) then { 
        deleteVehicle P_hasarmor;    
    };

 

I will give credit for those who want to help out here? Thanks

I would look at "\z\addons\dayz_code\compile\fn_damageHandler.sqf"; around like 181 and below I believe is where it's calculating damage, just something like if (player has armor) { damage = damage/2); or something like that, you could even make different types of armor and have percentages of resistance.
