Log vehicle destruction [TUT / How To)

[WGC GeekGarage]

So we have some issue with players on our servers going around just to destroy vehicles in bases which is against our server rules (pointless destruction of objects). I was thinking if it was possible to some how incorporate some code in server_updateObject.sqf so you can use the diag_log to see who damaged and or killed a vehicle?

 

i was thinking about using the "_object_damage" and "_object_killed" function in server_updateObject.sqf to also have the player logged via diag_log?

 

Any one have some solutions to this.

 

i was thinking that the log in RPT file should look like this: "VehicleDest: Player [name] damaged/destroyed vehicle [classname/displayname] at location [coords]"

 

you could always just use the "mapgridposition" to get ingame coords

 

If logging vehicle damage and destruction with player who did it another way i don't see please let me know. logging with the ID of the vehicle is just fine, but if you can have classname and or display name that would be fine too.

 

I just can't wrap my head around how to do it?

 

Running dedicated server so got full access to all files you want me to edit :)

I'm going to refine this and add it into epoch for 1.0.5 since it seems very useful.

I could be blind but i didn't see this in the changelog, did this make it?

Yup it made it, it should be enabled by default.

DZE_Debug_Damage

Is that deep into the config files or does it have to be enabled in the init.sqf?

It's a variable, you could just use DZE_Debug_Damage = true; but it would be redundant because it is enabled by default.

Cool, thanks for the work on this :)

Sweet I just tested this and it works great. Does not work on spawned vehicles though, just player owned. I do not know if that was your intention though.

Nope. May be an issue with how they are spawned, however.
