DayZ Standalone - New Scripting Commands

[Lystic]

Okay so I was looking at the latest patch for DayZ standalone and wanted to make some new scripts. I spent a lot of time digging through the games memory and testing to see what worked and what didn't.

Note: These are notes taken from the games memory.

Some commands may not work.
Some commands may only work on the server
Some commands do not have their parameters displayed

I will work on these commands for the next day or so and will update as needed. (If a minion could update this thread with my changes after this post is locked that would be great )

//DayZ Scripting Engine Notes
//Note: Some Scripts May Or May Not Work
//Note: Some Scripts May Work on the Server Only!

playerTarget ID //On server machine, find the object pointed to by a player (Seems to only return OBJNULL)
brakelegs OBJECT //Damages legs so that it is no able to stand (Seems to not work!)
isInThrowProcess player //Return true if the player is in process of throwing item (Working but not sure any uses!)
jLoad //Loads the file .class from the scripts locations and return a handler used to call its methods.
jExecFSM //Creates a JVM object representing a FSM and register it for execution.
sendAUMessage [[dpnid1, dpnid2], "ConnectTo: 192.168.1.66"] //Send the command to the list of clients or some count of clients.
playerAction //Control animation of the local player, similar to what playAction does on the server.

These are not all of the commands, just the new commands that I noticed while taking a quick glance at the games memory.
Commands From Arma 2 and Arma 3 are also in the game (A3 Wiki, A2 Wiki)

[Twoods196]

Got any idea what the new World Base address is for the .49 experimental?

[Majin Vegeta]

Good stuff, thankyou Lystic

[jpsniperman]

what do u do

[d1spenser]

Good work! I've been noticing new commands here and there, but never had time to properly test them. This would be great if this list eventually grows into full list of Dayz SA commands, with all the commands it takes from other games as well (Arma 2, Arma 3, Take on helicopters), with syntax, locality parameters and examples too.

My knowledge is a bit outdated, I haven't tried anything past 0.46, but I don't think It has changed that much, so I'll contribute a little bit:

Some commands you've missed:

1)

itemInHands _unit; 
hint str itemInHands player; // Example, displays name of the item you're holding as hint

Returns the class name of the item a player is holding.

2)

statusChat ["Text", "Colour"];
Text - string.
Colour - colour name. For some reason they didn't give colours normal names like green or red, gotta search for them. colorFriendly is green if I'm correct. There is White, Green, Red and Yellow as far as I know
statusChat ["testing 1 2 3",""]; // Example, displays white text

Basicly a nice alternative to systemchat, that can have different colours.

3)

_array spawnForClient code;
_array - id and some other stuff.
code - your function or code.

Spawns function or code for client. This appears to work like spawnForPlayer, except this command seems to be used before player has spawned. I wish I could use them, they would simplify the process of executing commands on other players. Anyway as of now both spawnForClient and spawnForPlayer won't work because they require remote execution.

There's more, but I can't remember right now.

Regarding some of them that you've posted:

selectPlayer OBJECT

Doesn't seem to work, seems like it has become server command.

player createInInventory "item"

Same here, seems to be server command as well. CreateVehicle was made one just like that some time ago.

sendAUMessage [[dpnid1, dpnid2], "ConnectTo: 192.168.1.66"] //Send the command to the list of clients or some count of clients.

Since you've mentioned sending commands to clients, is that a some sort of remote execution? What's dpnid1 and dpnid2?

jLoad //Loads the file .class from the scripts locations and return a handler used to call its methods.

What's class file? Never heard of them. Do you mean classes from resource cpps or bins?

jExecFSM //Creates a JVM object representing a FSM and register it for execution.

I'm not familiar with FSM, I've read that it's used for AI, is there any kind of benefit that can be taken from that?

Thats great information that I missed.

jLoad and jExecFMS is for JVM objects. It typically is only used by the engine. They used Java .Class objects
sendAUMessage is not covered on the BI wiki very well. I beleive dpnid would be the clients ID but I am unsure.

Nice! :P I reckon there is more than that though...that is allot but theyre must be more

[mattking45]

Lystic, that is some great work. This will be put to good use. Good Work

[Lystic]

Nice! :P I reckon there is more than that though...that is allot but theyre must be more

There is only a few more. I Mean these are only new ones, there are others from arma 2 and arma 3

i got vac banned wait nvm

how to spawn helmets/hats?

[Lystic]

how to spawn helmets/hats?

LOL, "spawn". learn standalone again m8. You can't spawn items.

Now if you want hats just use HatBase as the item type you are scanning for

Thanks for these. Useful for beginners!

[janjaaps]

Hmm it works for me

[mythicalllll]

Hmm it works for me

What exactly "works for you" ?
