Custom deathmessage

[Draay (DayZ) 47]

Hey guys,

So i've customized the deathmessage to hide who killed who but the death message is sent by the killer and still gives away the killer.

EG: (OPFOR DRAY): Player was killed with weapon.

I want to remove the (OPFOR DRAY): bit or customize it so it hides the killer there too.

Here is the code:

private["_characterID","_minutes","_newObject","_playerID","_key","_playerName","_playerID","_myGroup","_group","_victim", "_killer", "_weapon", "_message", "_distance","_loc_message","_victimName","_killerName"];
//[unit, weapon, muzzle, mode, ammo, magazine, projectile]
_characterID = _this select 0;
_minutes = _this select 1;
_newObject = _this select 2;
_playerID = _this select 3;
_playerName = _this select 4;
_victim removeAllEventHandlers "MPHit";
_victim = _this select 2;
_victimName = _victim getVariable["bodyName", "nil"];
_killer = _victim getVariable["AttackedBy", "nil"];
_killerName = _victim getVariable["AttackedByName", "nil"];
// when a zombie kills a player _killer, _killerName and _weapon will be "nil"
// we can use this to determine a zombie kill and send a customized message for that. right now no killmsg means it was a zombie.
if (_killerName != "nil") then
{
_weapon = _victim getVariable["AttackedByWeapon", "nil"];
_distance = _victim getVariable["AttackedFromDistance", "nil"];
if (_victimName == _killerName) then
{
_message = format["%1 killed himself",_victimName];
_loc_message = format["PKILL: %1 killed himself", _victimName];
}
else
{
_message = format["%1 was killed by %2 with weapon %3",_victimName, _killerName, _weapon];
_loc_message = format["PKILL: %1 was killed by %2 with weapon %3 from %4m", _victimName, _killerName, _weapon, _distance];
};
diag_log _loc_message;
[nil, nil, rspawn, [_killer, _message], { (_this select 0) globalChat (_this select 1) }] call RE;
//[nil, nil, rHINT, _message] call RE;
// Cleanup
_victim setVariable["AttackedBy", "nil", true];
_victim setVariable["AttackedByName", "nil", true];
_victim setVariable["AttackedByWeapon", "nil", true];
_victim setVariable["AttackedFromDistance", "nil", true];
};
dayz_disco = dayz_disco - [_playerID];
_newObject setVariable["processedDeath",time];
/*
diag_log ("DW_DEBUG: (isnil _characterID): " + str(isnil "_characterID"));
if (isnil "_characterID") then {
diag_log ("DW_DEBUG: _newObject: " + str(_newObject));
};
*/
if (typeName _minutes == "STRING") then {
_minutes = parseNumber _minutes;
};
if (_characterID != "0") then {
_key = format["CHILD:202:%1:%2:",_characterID,_minutes];
//diag_log ("HIVE: WRITE: "+ str(_key));
_key call server_hiveWrite;
} else {
deleteVehicle _newObject;
};
diag_log ("PDEATH: Player Died " + _playerID);
/*
_eh = [_newObject] spawn {
_body = _this select 0;
_method = _body getVariable["deathType","unknown"];
_name = _body getVariable["bodyName","unknown"];
waitUntil{!isPlayer _body;sleep 1};
_body setVariable["deathType",_method,true];
_body setVariable["bodyName",_name,true];
diag_log ("PDEATH: Player Left Body " + _name);
};
*/
//dead_bodyCleanup set [count dead_bodyCleanup,_newObject];

hi mate im not sure you can if its the clients computer running the script unless there is some way of it using rcon commands instead so it comes up in admin chat instead of blufor chat if you can turn it off i think it would turn it off for any message written in the global/side channels so no one would know who is talking

If it can't be done i might as well just disable it.

It would be nice if it was possible as then people still know someone was killed just not by whom.

[AmberHelios 2071]

thats only as far as i know i am wrong like 90% of the time :) some people have the luck of catching me on the 10

Anyone else know how to combat this?
