Death message was sometimes showing incorrectly due to spawn delay.
Also the sched_corpses two minute loop was occasionally deleting bodies
right away because bodyName setVariable was delayed by the time it took
PVDZ_plr_death to send (up to a few seconds). See #1825
We only want to send a humanity hit if the source is a remote player.
Note it's not necessary to check isNull since (isPlayer objNull) returns
false.
Vanilla commit:
7402b240df
If you kill a player zombie you should not lose humanity. Player_death
is now synced with the humanity hit code in the damage handler.
Also the killing blow set variable was moved up because the same
conditions were already checked above.
In the initialize section of the fsm r_player_unconscious and
r_player_timeout return their default values (false and 0). Also, the
Vanilla server-side combat check doesn't appear to work, or it doesn't
work with the antihack disabled (I haven't tested with it enabled).
New variable inCombat is set more quickly than the combatTimeout
variable
The only difference from the vanilla dayz pbo is the DeathScreen change.
It is better to do that in dayz_code RscTitles. Then the dayz pbo does
not need to be maintained in this repo.
MPHit does not always fire when a player is killed:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA_2:_Event_Handlers#MPHit
Using either MPHit or MPKilled is not a good idea here. There is already
a local 'killed' event handler which fires on player death
(player_death.sqf). That script sends a PV (priority message) to the
server which triggers server_playerDied. That means fnc_plyrHit needed
to finish sending its data to the server via public setVariables
(non-priority messages) before server_playerDied executed. Triggering
both these scripts at the same time was a bad idea.
Instead of sending the data to the server via setVariable I just
included it in PVDZ_plr_Death. This also lets us pass extra information
from the damage handler like ammo type, cause of death, etc. Still need
to test, but it should be more reliable and performant than
fnc_playerHit called from MPHit or MPKilled.
DayzGearSave is no longer used. I will submit a pull to remove it from
vanilla too.
Player_dumpBackpack is not a good solution to stifle duping. Players can
not see friends backpacks dropped on the ground. That is a problem when
they want to trade backpacks. They don't understand why their friend
can't see it. Also players can still get the "gear" scroll action if
they look where the hidden backpack is.
If it is still a problem after all the updates to current dayz code then
we should submit a pull request with a better solution to vanilla.
It makes no sense to rename the identical DayZ PVs to have an E in their
name. I don't see any good reason it was done in the first place. All it
accomplishes is breaking script compatibility between the two mods and
requiring different publicvariable.txt filters. The only time it makes
sense is for custom Epoch variables that aren't used in vanilla.
All admins have to do to update custom scripts is swap the names
according to the change log.
Note I've submitted a pull request to replace PVDZ_veh_Save with
PVDZ_obj_Save in official too because they are duplicates.
