Bloodbag abuse to get hero

[Achmed]

People are using bloodbags as a way to get there humanity up real fast so they can access the hero trader

 

Is there some way to limit how often you can receive a bloodbag?

[Adminlaststand]

theres limits you can set in the config file as to how much humanity they get and how oftern

[Achmed]

im not referring to self blood bag. I mean when giving someone else a blood  bag

[Achmed]

would removing the // on line 9 enable a usage limit to bloodbags? Currently it looks set to once a min

private ["_started","_finished","_animState","_isMedic","_num_removed","_unit","_lastused"];
// bleed.sqf
_unit = (_this select 3) select 0;
//_lowBlood = 	_unit getVariable ["USEC_lowBlood", false];
//_injured = 		_unit getVariable ["USEC_injured", false];
//_inPain = 		_unit getVariable ["USEC_inPain", false];
_lastused = 	_unit getVariable ["LastTransfusion", time];

// if (_lastused - time < 60) exitwith {cutText [format[(localize "str_actions_medical_18"),_text] , "PLAIN DOWN"]};

call fnc_usec_medic_removeActions;
r_action = false;

// not possible to transfuse while in a vehicle
if (vehicle player != player) exitWith { };

player playActionNow "Medic";

[1,1] call dayz_HungerThirst;

r_interrupt = false;
_animState = animationState player;
r_doLoop = true;
_started = false;
_finished = false;
while {r_doLoop} do {
	_animState = animationState player;
	_isMedic = ["medic",_animState] call fnc_inString;
	if (_isMedic) then {
		_started = true;
	};
	if (_started and !_isMedic) then {
		r_doLoop = false;
		_finished = true;
	};
	if (r_interrupt) then {
		r_doLoop = false;
	};
	sleep 0.1;
};
r_doLoop = false;

if (_finished) then {
	_unit setVariable["LastTransfusion",time,true];
	_unit setVariable["USEC_lowBlood",false,true];
	_num_removed = ([player,"ItemBloodbag"] call BIS_fnc_invRemove);
	if(_num_removed == 1) then {
	
		/* PVS/PVC - Skaronator */
		PVDZE_send = [_unit,"Transfuse",[_unit,player]];
		publicVariableServer "PVDZE_send";

		[player,100] call player_humanityChange;
	};
} else {
	r_interrupt = false;
	player switchMove "";
	player playActionNow "stop";

That might work. If people are actually abusing it you could raise to a higher amount for a while so they don't abuse it and when the abuse has passed lower it back down if you need.

 

OR.

 

Try and change the humanity you recieve from it to a low value like 20 here

[player,100] call player_humanityChange;

[Achmed]

do you by any chance know where the \dayz_code\medical\transfusions.sqf file is called from so i can update the paths etc and try it

[Firefly]

Personally if you catch them doing it reset it in the db as a warning. Thats pretty much how we did it. 

[Judge Bread]

do you by any chance know where the \dayz_code\medical\transfusions.sqf file is called from so i can update the paths etc and try it

 

Well the easiest way to find it is, go to your dayz epoch files you have on your pc. In addons, find dayz_code.pbo. Make a copy somewhere else. Extract it and you will see the medical folder and transfusions file there.

So as to not affect the players who don't abuse this, I suggest using the _lastused time value to determine if abuse is taking place and if so do not give the player humanity for close successful bloodbagging. Thus, the player loses the bloodbag and does not get humanity.

[Achmed]

I know where the file is located client side but can't work out where it is called from to adjust it to look in the mission.pbo

[Judge Bread]

fn_damageActions.sqf

which is in the compiles as

fnc_usec_damageActions =        compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\compile\fn_damageActions.sqf";

 

 

Might start getting more complex than first thought.

[Achmed]

Thanks. I'll have a look into it and see how complex it is

[Achmed]

Not to complex at all. just need to test it now and see if it works.

[Judge Bread]

I'd love to see how u managed it to get it all to work because I do like the idea of having an anti abuse system in place. I could figure it out myself but its easier this way :P

[Achmed]

its not tested yet. once i tested it if it works ill post details.

 

the line was already there so its just the case of moving it to the mission.pbo and changing the paths etc

[Judge Bread]

Nevermind took two minutes to think about it :)

Anyways. Would be useful for future seekers if you did post something.

[adg]

There are some logic errors in the default line, but you can get it working by changing line 9 to:

if (time - _lastused < 180 && time - _lastused != 0) exitwith {cutText [format["Not so fast! You can use bloodbag again in %1 seconds!",(ceil(180 - (time - _lastused)))],"PLAIN DOWN"]};

Ofc you can change the message and time :)

[Achmed]

Yeah I tried the default and it said I could not do it as had to wait but that was before evening doing a blood bag so as I'm not a coder I gave up and just changed the humanity gain.

I'll try what you have posted. Thanks :)

[ekroemer]

Quite complicated solutions. On our servers we have the same problem but we simply don't refill bloodbags at the traders. Since players nowadays seem to be too lazy to go looting this fixes the problem ;-)

[Achmed]

Nothing complicated about it really tbh. Just the case of moving the files to the mission.pbo and changing the file path accordingly.

After that it's just changing some numbers.

A single tun to a hospital normally gives a minimum of 5 blood bags in a box and some times there's more then one box
