Zombie damage

[Dismal]

I read that editing fn_damagehandler was the way to increase damage for zombies in server.

 

Then i read that if i do that, it will also effect player on player pvp damage.

 

Can anyone help me with this?

If the _ammo variable equals "zombie", the damage came from a zombie IIRC - so you can just do your custom damage based on that.

doesn't this mean if ammo isn't a zombie?

 

if (_ammo != "zombie") then {

 

Which part of damagehanlder.sqf would i change for just zombie damage?

[Dismal]

has anyone actually edited zombie damage that can help?

I'm curious about this also. Anyone have any tips or thoughts on this?

I'll bump this cause I'm curious as well. I'd prefer to go all Romero style with my zeds but right now they're so weak they're useless unless fast, and after looking around I can't come to a clear conclusion of how damage is controlled for just zeds.

 

Edit: Ok well based on all my looking, it appears that damage is controlled by player_zombieAttack and fn_damageHandler. You'll notice in player_zombieAttack it makes the following call.

 

[player, _wound, _damage, _unit,"zombie"] call fnc_usec_damageHandler;

 

which after checking compiles, it shows it runs...

 

fnc_usec_damageHandler =        compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_code\compile\fn_damageHandler.sqf";        //Event handler run on damage

 

That being said, if it controls pvp damage as well, perhaps making a custom sqf with the fn_damageHandler script and changing the call for the player_zombieAttack, along with editing the compiles file can help to separate the damage calculations.
