Gunner seat of 50cal humvee does not register kills or humanity change.

[Zhohar]

Vehicle & seat: purchased desert camo US Humvee with 50cal M2 protected machine gun

 

Shooting and killing a player with the gunner seat does not affect the gunner's Murder or Bandits Killed counts. Humanity remains unchanged.

Confirmed on 3 occasions tonight. Waited for approximately 15minutes, no statistics change. On all 3 occasions, player was not surrounded by zombies, not low on food/water or otherwise in mortal danger.

 

Have not tested or confirmed with other vehicles. Is this an intentional feature, a bug, isolated incident, or possibly a server misconfig? Anyone else experience similar issues?

As far as i know it dont matter what vehicle your in it does not register to you if you kill a ai, player or zombie by running them over or shooting them from the gun.

Would love to know how to fix this

*Bump*

 

Would also like an explanation on this.

You can't fix it. The game (Arma 2) registers it as a kill by a vehicle, not as a kill by a player.

I'm pretty sure it's been like that since vanilla DayZ. May be something to do with the game seeing the kill as caused by an object (ie vehicle) and not a player, therefore cannot apply any humanity to it.

Anyway to mod this so it could be recognize as a player kill only for the gun not the vehicle's run over zed thing?

Not without access to the ARMA2 source, which is encrypted and we'll never get.
