UAV kills do not count towards 'stats_xyz_by_players' scores
Bug report
Basic Information
Mission version: v0.96.7a
Map used: Altis
Mods used: None
Dedicated or local game: Tested on both
Source of the mission file (URL): Taken directly from your master branch and ran build.bat
Individual Things
Did you edit anything within the mission files? Yes
If yes, what did you edit exactly? I added a silentHint for debugging purposes in kill_manager.sqf
Short Issue Description
Killing civilians, opfor, vehicles etc with a UAV doesn't count towards the scores. E.g. stats_opfor_killed_by_players or stats_civilians_killed_by_players.
Why? Because isPlayer _killer
returns false when the kill is the result of a UAV strike. Instead isPlayer _instigator
is true, as _instigator is the person who pulled the trigger -- useful for UAVs. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Event_Handlers#MPKilled
Here is my debug I produced in the mission:
Vehicle kill using a launcher, outside of a vehicle: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/996103017243885680/1087792212789710978/image.png
Vehicle kill using a UAV: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/996103017243885680/1087792435716952084/image.png
Expected Behaviour
UAV kills should count towards the score
Steps to Reproduce the Issue
- Hop into the mission and check one of the scores. E.g. stats_civilians_killed_by_players
- Grab a UAV and a UAV Terminal and fly it somewhere with a civilian
- Kill one or two
- Check score again
Here's the debug code I used for the hintSilent
params ["_unit", "_killer", "_instigator"];
hintSilent parseText format["Player: %1<br/>Killer: %2<br/>Instigator: %3<br/>Killed: %4<br/>isPlayer Killer: %5<br/>isPlayer Instigator: %6", (name player), (name _killer), (name _instigator), (name _unit), (isPlayer _killer), (isPlayer _instigator)];
