Bambi God Mode

[Paul 104]

Hi Guys

Is it possible to make Bambi's have god mode? We run a PVE server and quite often have AI killing people as they're parachuting in, so I was thinking that giving people god mode whilst on their parachute would be a good compromise between me wanting them parachute in, and them moaning about being killed when parachuting.

I tried amending:
ExileClient_object_player_bambiStateBegin.sqf to have allowDamage false;
and
ExileClient_object_player_bambiStateEnd.sqf to have allowDamage true;

But that didn't work and just caused memory errors repeatedly (did it the normal way over overwriting the files in config.cpp etc), which I presume is caused by the fact that we're overwriting client files and pointing them to the server for them instead?

If anyone can help, or make suggestions, please let me know

You can increase the time that bambi status exists in your server config.cpp

protectionDuration = 5;

But that doesn't give you god mode as far as I'm aware, and AI still kill you.

Isn't that just how long you're in Bambi mode to put other players off killing you (for loss of rep purposes)?

@Paul

Overwriting those files should be fine, show us the code? And how you 'changed' them, ie did you overwrite them the correct way?

Here the bambiStateBegin file, the end one is almost the same.

Yes, overwrote them in the config.cpp using the correct section (I have a few other things in there already)

Where you have allowdamage = false. Needs to be - player  allowDamage false ..do that and u will be right

Hi John

i tried that first. The server worked ok and I could log in, but I still died, and didn't have the bambi logo. There were errors in the logs referring to a ; missing, even though there was one at the end of the line.

I'll try it again later and get the logs for it

This should work for you:

That makes sense, as I didn't state what should be invincible (didn't have the player on the front).

i didn't try anything last night, but will later or tomorrow
