Dayz Overpoch

[Josefa Palsgrove]

Look at image above) So I am currently trying to make a better method for deleting dead bodies from my database for my DayZ Epoch server. I need a code to delete Where ALIVE = 0 if that same PlayerUID has another instance where it is ALIVE = 1.

But basically, I want to delete any dead player that now has an alive player with that same PlayerUID. If I were better at coding, I could see many variables I could use like PlayerUID (a must), Datestamp, Alive, and generation. Probably only need 2 of those, one being the PlayerUID.

The easiest to me seems like it would be something like: SORT by PlayerUID AND FOR EACH PlayerUID DELETE ALL EXCEPT(?) newest Datestamp.This would keep the player stats from their dead body in case they do not create a new character before this script is called.

So basicly, you need to be sure that on a Insert (or update of ALIVE to 1) of a player, you removed all previous (just in case, normaly there should be only one) player with the same PlayerUID as the new one.

The easiest is to create a trigger that will run before the insert (and on UPDATE if this is possible to update ALIVE to 1 to revieve one). Using the UID of the new player to run a delete on the table for the specific UID. This is that simple ;)

This will be executed before the insert in the table dayz_epoch.character_data (so don't remove the new one). This will remove every line with the PlayerUID of the inserted line. If you want to add some security, you could add the and Alive= 0 in the condition.

In order to do so we have to create the folder structure of the mod and then pack it into a .pbo file. A mod can have several .pbo files but most smaller mods will only ever need a single one.

DayZ standalone has 5 script modules that can be modded. In order that they load they are 'engineScriptModule', 'gamelibScriptModule', 'gameScriptModule', 'worldScriptModule' and 'missionScriptModule'. Using the correct script module is very important!

When packing a mod, make sure the addons (and keys) folder are in lower case and that the files within addons are also lowercase. This is so your mod will work with the DayZ Linux Server binaries.

If you are or ever wish to work with workbench then do the following. Create a new folder called 'FirstMod'. This is because 'Workbench' does not distinguish the files and folders between what mod they come from, or if it was even a mod.

Let's create a script that will "mod" an existing class. Let's first create the 'PlayerBase.c' file within the current folder. We do that by adding the 'modded' keyword to the class declaration. Within this new class let's override a method to add our own behavior, in this case, it would be to print to the script log.

where the serverDZ.cfg can be copied from the DayZ Server distribution on Steam. It is loading the 'dayzOffline.ChernarusPlus' mission by default. Within the server configuration, you will need to modify the following options:
