[Help please] Detect when X Player kills a target player

FragZ · February 11, 2016

Pretty much, I want to be able to detect (in a loop or anything) when a player say John kills player Justin.

Then, return that he got killed but only to the killer as part of an event mission I want to make.

So in resume, detect when X player that activates a script kills a designated target player.

Thanks!

Take a look at how _Killer is checked in onKilled?

**Note: Didn't actually look into this just a hint.

Alright ill take a look and report here.

EDIT: Would it be by checking in ExileServer_Object_Player_event_onMpKilled? If so I can't lay a finger on it...

you could check by UID
(very rough example not tested)

_victimID = (guytobe killed UID );
_killerID = (guy who kills UID );
_killerUID = (_killer getplayerUID);
_victimUID = (_victim getplayerUID);
_WASKILLED = false;

if ((  _killerUID == _killerID )  && (  _victimUID == _victimID )) then {

//message here / code here
_WASKILLED = true;

};

you would put this under

_fragAttributes = [];

in theroy this will work, there may be better ways to do it but this is simple and easy to implement

it will still say to all he was killed but you could just add a boolean and have the main alert code check for it and if its true not send of the global message

So edit my MPKilled file to include a custom variable or something and then use an external script in the client side to verify who it was or something?

This is a part of an XM8 app I want to make

ah now i get what you want

since i like the idea of alerting just one player ill see if i can come up with a script for you.

if you could tell me what you want the app to do/ display ill try get a test version together today for you

Okay that sounds good thanks.

And nah im fine I have the rest of the script already, just need to detect in the loop of the active thing when you kill the target player

ExileServer_Object_Player_event_onMpKilled?

FragZ · February 15, 2016

Still need help!

ShootingBlanks · February 16, 2016

this shouldnt be that difficult. at work on my phone so cant really look at all the code easily.

add to each player a mpkilled event handler that will run a simple script that checks if _victim uid == target _victim. if true, now do whatever you want to do with the killer info.

what seems to be your current problem?
