setDamage in console

[SubEclipse 22]

Hello all,

I'm seeing tons of these from a few different players today. Is this someone running scripts on my server, or is it something legit that I'm not aware of?

He's resetting his blood damage to zero through a script.

Info here.

Note: the link is for Operation Flashpoint but it also applies to ARMA II and mods/extensions thereof.

It sure looked malicious, I removed this player from the server. Shortly thereafter I saw a single line with setDamage being changed my someone I know to be reputable which made me second guess the decision.

interesting, please let us know if you come to a conclusion (or anyone else).

I'd like to know before I add this to our auto kick list

I just got a PM from the user... I think he is a legit player after speaking with him.

If anyone else knows anything about these messages, I would appreciate the info.

P.S. If all else fails, me and my group that I play with have hoarded quite a lot of gear... Worst case if you can't get your items, I will set up a tent for you and put items in it for you, then send you the coords. I'm very sorry for the misunderstanding if this is in fact legit play, and strange new behavior on the server.

I'm wondering if this is zombie damage possibly? Maybe something with the new patch made these messages start showing up in the BEC console?

TTT... hoping to get more info on this. I haven't seen it since this morning.
