[Release] Ducks of War

[geekm0nkey 144]

Demo: (yes the video doesn't show the body being removed, was made before that was fixed.)

Another contribution to the PVP mod community. Introducing Ducks of War... What this mod does is add the option to "Claim a Trophy" from a PVP killed player.  The trophy in this case happens to be a rubber ducky. Which they can collect and sell at the traders. You adjust the value of the duck in the code provided below. Here are the conditions.

• Body must be a player (no NPC or Zombies)
• Player must be killed as a direct result of PVP, no bambis, team-kills, crashes, accidents or suicides.
• Once trophy claimed, body will be removed. (so collect gear FIRST!) *Thanks to StokesMagee

Installation:

Create the file dow_claimtrophy.sqf and put it somewhere in your mission folder.. For mine i use the folder addons.

Next Step:

Edit the file initPlayerLocal.sqf if you have it, or make one.. And add this near the top. Make sure to adjust the folder to match yours.

Spoiler

// Ducks of war mod
DOW_FN_ClaimTrophy = compileFinal preprocessFileLineNumbers "addons\dow_claimtrophy.sqf";

Next Step:

Edit the file config.cpp and add the following... Find "class Player" >> "class Actions" look for "Identify Body" put this code below that block of code so that it looks like the following. Do not duplicate the identify body section, this is just an example of how it should look.

Spoiler

class Identify: ExileAbstractAction
            {
                title = "Identify Body";
                condition = "!(alive ExileClientInteractionObject)";
                action = "_this call ExileClient_object_player_identifyBody";
            };
           
            // Ducks of war mod
            class Trophy: ExileAbstractAction
            {
                title = "Claim Trophy";
                condition = "!(alive ExileClientInteractionObject)";
                action = "_this call DOW_FN_ClaimTrophy";
            };

Next Step:

By now, you should have an overwrite created for a killfeed... If you don't, wouldn't hurt to create one. I will provide a copy of mine for you but you only need the 2 lines that pertain to this mod to be added to yours if you already have one. *Thanks to Kuplion.

or just the lines in question, which need to be added below where _killType is defined.

Spoiler

// Ducks of war mod
_victim setVariable["DOWGV_killer", name _killingPlayer, 0];
_victim setVariable["DOWGV_killType", _killType, 0];

Last Step:

You need to add the duck to the trader data so that the player can sell it. (if you already have the duck, it will need to be removed as this is the trophy item) You add this in the config.cpp or if using the easy trader mod, in the ExileItemsList.sqf as.

Spoiler

class Exile_item_RubberDuck                { quality = 1; price = 10000; sellPrice = 10000; };

Make the price and sellprice the same.

And your done... Hope you enjoy.

Improved dead body handling.

[GolovaRaoul 221]

This reminds me of Call of Duty where you need to get to the body before you can get points.

Great work man! Now those ducks finally have a use! And install instructions are really clear!

Really appreciate you releasing content on ExileMod!

[geekm0nkey 144]

Update: Be aware that I need to add a function or server side script for clean up.. It would seem, that from the players point of view all works well. But from other players bodies are not cleaned up and exploitation is possible..

Nice. Thanks for share.

Question: Where do you get this Trader UI?

@StokesMagee

[geekm0nkey 144]

Updated original post... Code has been fixed, should no longer be an issue with being able to access the person more than once.. After the trophy is claimed and body cleaned up, it is them moved off map.

[[XIII]Bujinkan 9]

I didn't read completely. Already using ducks. To use other mods with ducks, I have to change the classnames in the other mods to match this reference to the duck, correct?

PS. Nice work, as usual! Thanks for all you do!

Edited March 13, 2018 by [XIII]Bujinkan

[geekm0nkey 144]

Need to copy the code from the first post and overwrite the code in dow_claimtrophy.sqf file. Fixes the issue where the body doesn't actually disappear for other players.

No problem.. And thank you.

[TheJ3wishTurban 6]

any way to get this to work with ai and not players?

 

[Serpz 18]

Hi on the step where it says you should have a kill feed by now, guess what i dont! So i copy and paste that kill feed file of yours and what am i naming it?  ExileServer_object_player_event_onMpKilled ???? and where do i place this file just in my mission pbo?

cheers!
