Automatic lobby return after death

ilganna · April 11, 2014

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if there is any way we could automate the lobby return after death...

The dynamic should be: I die and I see the you are death screen; a countdown (ten seconds) starts and when it ends you're automatically transferred back to lobby instead of doing it manually. (Hit esc, wait 10 seconds, then click abort and Ok)

Do you think something like that will be feasible? I know probably which files to edit, but I'm not sure how to handle the "forced" disconnect.

Any tips?

Thanks, best regards

Hi ilganna,

I've invested some time as I also want this. First of all I am very new to Arma2/Dayz/Epoch scripting/modding...just played around a bit.

I also use th elinux version of Epoch by Devd...but I don't think that this makes a difference here, don't know.

I've found this link: https://github.com/vbawol/DayZ-Epoch/blob/master/SQF/dayz_code/compile/player_death.sqf

It seems that this was already in there some time ago (?) and if I remember correctly I saw that already on a server I was playing in January.

At the end of the file you find:

for "_x" from 5 to 1 step -1 do {
titleText [format[localize "str_return_lobby", _x], "PLAIN DOWN", 1];
sleep 1;
};

PVDZE_Server_Simulation = [_body, false];
publicVariableServer "PVDZE_Server_Simulation";

endMission "END1";

I downloaded the dayz_code.pbo from the client files on my server and extracted it.

I copied the file player_death.sqf to my mission (custom/player_death.sqf), added to above code at the end of it and in my custom compiles (also in folder custom) I pointed to the new file.

I repacked the mission pbo and uploaded it to the server.

Now everytime I die I am right back into the lobby without pressing ESC and Abort.

jahan.

If you moved the file from dayz_code to the mission pbo would it not work ok then?

jahangir13 · April 11, 2014

I guess you are right. I'll test it later. But this then would do the trick. Cool ,) I guess that's in a custom compiles.sqf.

EDIT: yes, thanks, works. Did not know that all files (also client files) can be overwritten in the mission). I've edited my post above.

I am still not sure why this has been removed as I don't think thats just to annoy the player ??? Any idea?

Hi Jahan,

thank you very much: it's working flawlessly :)

Update:

I modified the code to actually display the message (and increased the time to 10 seconds):

for "_x" from 10 to 1 step -1 do {
titleText [format["Returning to lobby in %1 second(s)...", _x], "PLAIN DOWN", 1];
sleep 1;
};

PVDZE_Server_Simulation = [_body, false];
publicVariableServer "PVDZE_Server_Simulation";

endMission "END1";

Thanks!

Hey,

If I use this script, every player who died is getting kicked from Server "PublicVariable Restriction #3" since im using InfiStar.

Does anyone know how to fix it?

Greetings

ilganna · June 12, 2014

Hi Mitscher,

I'm using infiSTAR as well but I do not experience the kick. Please make sure you have updated your BE filters.

Thanks

Add this !="PVDZE_Server_Simulation" to your publicvariable.txt in your BE folder into the first line ;)

5 "" !"PVDZE_" !"norrn" !"usec" !="remExField" !="remExFP" !="drn_AskServerDynamicWeatherEventArgs" !="norrinRAlie" !="BIS_effects_gepv" !="dayzPlayerLogin" !="dayzPlayerLogin2" !"PVAHR_" !="PVAH_AdminReq" !="PVAH_WriteLogReq" !="PVDZE_Server_Simulation"

is not working for me...

But thanks for reply

what does your public variable restriction log tell you the kick is for?

Sorry for this stupid question but where can I find this log?

Greetings

insertcoins · June 12, 2014

not sure who your host is or whatever, but it's usually stored at the same place your filters are.

Mitscher · June 12, 2014

Hey,

im on vilayer, there seem not to be any logs in that same place, sry.

The BeLog just says "PublicVariable Restriction #3"....

Thanks!

I tried this on my server and it doesnt work....
The text appears but i don't get booted to the lobby.

No RPT errors.
am running Infistar and have modified my BE files to suit my needs.. does that affect it?

save this as player_death.sqf

put this in your mission pbo and call it in compiles.sqf
