PVP mod idea.

[geekm0nkey 144]

So a player gave me an idea for a mod and after searching couldn't find it or the like.. Here is the concept, we would call it "Ears" of war.. Once a player is killed, the action menu would give you the option to "claim trophy" where you would then see an animation followed by the body disappearing.  This being replaced with some item.. Something you can't buy or find in loot. We set it to a high sell price so you can collect the reward. This is all pretty easy to make, here comes the issue. I need to know how to code in, that this "body" was the result of PVP action.. Not AI kill or suicide.  To prevent abuse from someone spawning, suicide then collecting trophy and repeating. Any ideas?

ExileServer_object_player_event_onMpKilled

case 7:

just set a variable on the _victim

[geekm0nkey 144]

I see where the case is called, but how exactly would I assign _victum to a result from that function, and how would I pass the _this to the function so that it even knows who i'm checking.

Use the Exile interaction system, and add it to the player section and check if they're dead, then make a network request to the server to do the dooooooooo

sigh... sounds great? could you maybe show me an example i could work from? I learn best by picking code apart.

Just look at the lock or something, there are tons of things you can look at that are default to exile...

DUH? yeah, I had already looked at that.. I know exactly where to put the call, and how to address if the player is dead.

Spoiler

class Trophy: ExileAbstractAction
            {
                title = "Claim trophy";
                condition = "!(alive ExileClientInteractionObject)";
                action = "_this call EOW_ClaimTrophy";
            };

Not what I was referring too.. will the "_this" listed above pass the _victim and _killer content to the function? if I use the...

Spoiler

_victim = _this select 0;
_killer = _this select 1;

_killingPlayer = _killer call ExileServer_util_getFragKiller;
_killType = [_victim, _killer, _killingPlayer] call ExileServer_util_getFragType;

At the beginning of the file associated with my function?

now.. to my original question, with that information? will the above result in _killType = 7 in the event it was a player caused death? which I can then use to fuel the rest of the conditions in my script?

[StokesMagee 871]

// on killed...

case 7:
{
	_victim setVariable ["SomeShit", "someRandomShit"];
	...........
};



// the action menu
ExileClientInteractionObject call EOW_ClaimTrophy;



// EOW_ClaimTrophy
...........
["blah", [netID _this]] call ExileClient_system_network_send;



// the server-side network
params["_sessionID","_params"];
_params params["_victimID"];
try
{
	private _victim = objectFromNetID _victimID;
	if (isNull _victim) throw "....";
	if (_victim getVariable ["SomeShit",""] != "some condition") throw "....";
	//give the player the reward
	_victim setVariable ["SomeShit",nil];
}
catch
{
	[_sessionID,"ToastRequest",["ErrorTitleAndText",["...",_exception]]] call ExileServer_system_network_send_to;
}

Love you man.. Lol.. Here is what I have thus far, but it doesn't fire off the script as nothing appears to happen.

edit added to config.cpp

Spoiler

            // Ears of war mod
            class Trophy: ExileAbstractAction
            {
                title = "Claim Trophy";
                condition = "!(alive ExileClientInteractionObject)";
                action = "_this call EOW_FN_ClaimTrophy";
            };

Edits made to initplayer.sqf

Spoiler

// Ears of war mod
EOW_FN_ClaimTrophy = compileFinal preprocessFileLineNumbers "addons\eow_claimtrophy.sqf";

And finally the script itself.
