New variables: DZE_groupManagement = false; //Enable or disable group
management. Enabled by default
DZE_MoneyStorageClasses = []; // If using a Single currency system
(Z_SingleCurrency = true;), this is an array of object classes players
can store coins in
if Z_SingleCurrency = true; the hive is now set up to handle coin
updates on players, characters, and objects.
if DZE_groupManagement = true; the hive is now set up to save groups
group and coin variables are set in player_monitor.fsm, for
vehicles/objects it's set in the server_monitor.sqf file for objects in
the DZE_MoneyStorageClasses array
Also, this commit includes a change to the way the hive spawns in
vehicles. vehicles are now created at [0,0,0] and moved using setPosATL
to their saved position. Thanks for the tip @ndavalos @eraser1
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
removing the Respawn EH fixes this, I haven't noticed any adverse
effects from removing it yet.
Also changing groups now deletes the old group. The machine which the
group is local to must execute the deleteGroup command, the server
previously had to wait until the player disconnects to delete their
empty groups.
The protective box is not needed on Chernarus.
If other maps need it we are better off spawning a permanent box around
the debug area once, instead of constantly creating new boxes every time
a player logs in.
Achievements are saved in the state field, so we don't have room to save
friendlies there anymore. DZE_FriendlySaving is removed for now. I will
add it back later with a save to player profile instead.
The dayz_players variable is not used for anything. There were several
other unused variables in server_playerLogin.sqf.
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.
