Scoreboard starting with negative kills #8

Closed codexGW closed 8 years ago

codexGW commented 8 years ago

The Scoreboard starts with negative kills on some people after a restart. Some a up to -5. 20160715122610_1

tylers-dev commented 8 years ago

Negative kills will happen when a player teamkills with no actual enemy kills. But that doesn't really explain why this would happen right after restart.

The person with the -5 said they have -4 AT kills on the old Arma scoreboard. Is there anyway to set all that crap to 0 on join? Should I revert this as well for now? https://github.com/A3Armory/A3A_A3Wasteland.Altis/commit/8cc0c58f99628b9e20183fdae8b15ff005a8587c

Not sure if this is still a issue but here's a ticket about someones kills not registering. http://www.a3armory.com/forum/helpcenter.php?action=viewticket&tid=752 Maybe this was just a band-aid and its still happening but with 0 on the scoreboard.

So my recent commit to this issue just kept negative numbers from showing. I was thinking it was just an anomaly that wouldn't happen often. So I'll need to find the real problem. But unless we can confirm the moment a player joins a freshly restarted server and they begin with a negative score, this is my guess to what's happening. Is it possible that persisted mines are causing inaccurate teamkills? Meaning I lay a bunch of mines as Bluefor, server restarts and I go Opfor. If a bunch of Bluefor die to those mines, is the death tracking finding the player that laid them? Even if they don't get the punishable teamkill message, it could be scoring them a teamkill. I think it has to do something with teamkills in some way, it's the only thing subtracting from player kills.

when you go back to the lobby, your mines are no longer linked to any team, the engine considers them to be neutral like scripted mines.

tylers-dev commented 8 years ago

Good to know. Well I'm kind of at a loss, not sure if teamkills are getting recorded some other way, or if it's not related to team kills at all. But I don't know what else would be subtracting from player kills.

add this below params in fn_registerKillScore.sqf:

diag_log format ["A3W_fnc_registerKillScore: %1, registered: %2, isPlayer: %3, killerDead: %4, killerGroup: %5", _this, _unit getVariable ["A3W_killScoreRegistered", false], isPlayer _unit, !alive _killer && !isPlayer _killer, group _killer];

this will leave clues in the server RPT
