Skins preventing riding in vehicles

[burky45]

On our server we had unlocked the skins so that we can use all arma 2 skins but once unlocked they work properly but me and another player had the unlocked skin set to our players but could not get in a vehicle together but as soon as one player removes the skin I.E dieing we can ride again as long as the player with the unlocked skin gets in last

I don't think that problem is only with the unlocked skins. Had the same problem with me and another player both wearing the bandit-camo skin. No idea how to fix that though.

Usually an issue with AI and groups.

Also appears that once you hit "hero" status, this happens wayyy less frequently.  Set your humanity to 10000 and you wont have the issue nearly as much, assuming you don't kill friendly AI.

Had a thought about this issue and could it be related to "score" http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/score

My current Karma is at 13,000 and these are skins we have unlocked for example a United Nations Skin, Also the issue seems to go away once the skins are removed

Our server does not have Sarge AI

That's an interesting theory - have to put that into a debug monitor and see if it plays out the way your thinking. Not sure how "humanity" is working in relation to score , but the humanity definitely does make an impact on this issue

Humanity is an arbitrary number that is only used by dayz. I believe that in A2 If you have a -2500 score it will mark you as an enemy ie teamkiller. Wearing the skin of another faction maybe another cause

So I guess the question to be answered is who or what is causing score to move +/-      - assuming it is tied to  score.  I would agree that part of it makes sense when you kill "friendly" AI soldier(s) you will have the vehicle bug, your tag will become red..

Oops, I actually meant rating not score: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/rating

[MassAsster]

 

Check unit rating. Rating is increased for killing enemies, decreased for killing friendlies (see Rating Values). Can be changed via addRating by the mission designer.

The rating of the player is displayed as the "score" at the end of the mission. Via Description.ext one can define how many points it takes to get a perfect score, as well as the number of stars.

 

So in theory - it should be possible to throw a script into the scroll wheel to "fix vehicle bug"  and have it "addrating" to that player.

[vbawol]

Maybe so, It would be good to know what the players rating is at the time this issue occurs.

the od thing is as soon as we remove the unlocked skin from the player vehicle interaction is perfectly fine but once we add it back it dosent work again, i mean the player wearing the skin can get in and out of vehciels perfectly fine but as soon as someone else trys to get in the same vehcile they cant

We have this issue with the bandit camo skin and the terrorist uniform... possibly others.

 

vbawol, how can I find the players rating?  I'll try to track that tonight and get you some data but I don't know where to find that info.
