The players who use M320 or RPG or SMAW however dont seem to get kicked.

Also this is what I read in the chat when a message appears:

 

[21:49:42] Cowboy-NL was temporary BANNED for using M320 Grenade luncher

[21:49:42] ProconRulz: Player 300 temp banned for Cowboy-NL seconds

 

The second line doesnt add up ?

Wrong for a couple of reasons, and you really need to read the 1st post of this thread.

 

(1) BF3 is not providing weapon loadouts at spawn (see BF3 limitations in 1st post)

 

(2) use weapon KEYS in rulz, not the displayed description. The keys are listed for you in the ProconRulz Details info, and provided in a link in the 1st post of this thread.

 

If you want to block the USAS-12 shotgun, you will need a rule like On Kill;Weapon USAS-12;Kill

 

ThaShadow kingknarf +1, plus only use "Map metro" if you are 100% sure BF3 doesn't send the map name as "Operation Métro" (spot the difference) - if you already know the rule works then you're in good shape. The Map condition searches both the map name AND the map filename (MP_Subway) so in general you're on safer ground using "Map Subway"

On Kill;Weapon Melee;say %p% made %v% his bitch!
On Kill;Weapon Repair&Tool;Say %v%'s marshmallows were toasted by %p%
On TeamKill;Kill 50
On TeamKill;Say %p% kills teammate %v% !
On Suicide;Say %p% kills himself.

My goal: knife/melee/repair tool only a message, teamkill a message and a 50 health punishment for the guy who did the the teamkill. Is all of the above in the correct format? Will this work?

The only issue is your TeamKill rulz : BF3 has no mechanism to just reduce a players health (Kill, Kick, TempBan, Ban are the actions). The number after the Kill action is how long a delay you want before you kill the player (1000 = 1 second) - this is particularly useful when an action is triggered on a player spawn, currently irrelevant for BF3

 

Here's 3 rulz that give a message and kill on the 1st TK, kill on TK 2..4, kick on TK 5:

 

On TeamKill;PlayerCount 4;Say %p% kicked for 5 teamkills;Kick excessive teamkills

On TeamKill;PlayerFirst;PlayerSay %p% - server has teamkill protection (you teamkilled %v% with %w%);Kill 100

On TeamKill;Kill 100

 

Combined with your rulz:

On Kill;Weapon Weapons/Knife/Knife;Say %p% made %v% his bitch!

On Kill;Weapon Melee;say %p% made %v% his bitch!

On Kill;Weapon Repair&Tool;Say %v%'s marshmallows were toasted by %p%

On TeamKill;PlayerCount 4;Say %p% kicked for 5 teamkills;Kick excessive teamkills

On TeamKill;PlayerFirst;PlayerSay %p% warning: server has teamkill protection (you teamkilled %v% with %w%);Kill 100

On TeamKill;Kill 100

On Suicide;Say %p% kills himself.

tarreltje BF3 currently has the major limitation that it does NOT communicate the weapons loadout when each player spawns, and this means the "Kit Recon 1" condition simply cannot work until an upgrade to BF3 starts providing this information. Although you missed off any trigger on your rule (i.e. "On xxxx"), your rule is an "On Spawn" rule i.e. it is being triggered each time a player spawns - this would be fine if the "Kit Recon 1" actually worked on BF3 but it doesn't as of R10.

 

Currently (BF3 R10) all you can do is check the weapon or damage at KILL time - e.g. with that you could limit snipers to 5 sniper kills each. Not what you want, but it's a BF3 limitation.

 

If DICE doesn't provide the spawn weapon loadout in a reasonable time I'll think about some compromise functionality in ProconRulz, but the fact is at the moment controlling the number of players that SPAWN with a given loadout is not possible.

I use

On Kill;Weapon Weapons/Knife/Knife;Say %p% humiliated %v%

but nothing in the chat appears, if someone kill someone with the knife, what do i wrong?

 

And a question: if i use "say >>%p%

I also know that you only can send messages to a squad, not to a singel player, is this information still valid? and if yes, does "say >>%p%

this rules are working for me.

 

On Kill;Map MP_Subway;Damage ProjectileExplosive;PlayerCount 1;Kick;Say %p% was kicked for using NoobTube on Inf!

On Kill;Map MP_Subway;Damage ProjectileExplosive;Say %p% punished. There is no tank on METRO!;Kill 3000

 

No RPG, no SMAW, no M320.

First warning with kill, then kick.

 

 

Now my Question:

I would have a Say-Action like: "PlayerX killed PlayerY with a Sniperrifle. There are X Sniperkills from TeamY!"

Maybe for 20 or 30 Sniperkills.

5 and log is only for testing.

 

On Kill;Damage SniperRifle;TeamCount 5;Log ^1%p% killed with %w%. This was Sniperkill Number %tc% for %pt%.

 

Its working.

 

[12:54:46] ProconRulz: PlayerA killed with Barrett M98B Sniper Rifle. This was Sniperkill Number 6 for Russian Army.

 

But how can I stop the following messages?

Number 7, 8, 9.......

[12:56:50] ProconRulz: PlayerZ killed with Barrett M98B Sniper Rifle. This was Sniperkill Number 8 for Russian Army.

 

---edit---

Got it!

 

On Kill;Damage SniperRifle;TeamCount 6;

On Kill;Damage SniperRifle;TeamCount 5;Log ^1%p% killed with %w%. This was Sniperkill Number %tc% for %pt%.

 

 

Thx!

Rucki

 

And special Thanks to bambam for your patience in this thread.

Nope - this isn't a capability of ProconRulz, and also currently no admin utility can provide this for BF3 because, unlike BFBC2, BF3 is NOT sending the player coordinates in any event. You cannot tell where the killer or victim is at kill time.

procon.protected.weapons.add Assault "Defib" Secondary Melee

 

So you can add that weapon key to your BF3.def and use it in rulz the same as repair&tool. When you've done that it might be easier overall if you use "Damage Melee" instead of specific weapons, as in

 

On Kill;Not Damage Melee;Not Damage handgun;Say pistols/melee weapons only on this server;Kill

 

If you CANNOT update your BF3.def (some people can't because of the hosting provider) then you can still use "Weapon Defib" (ProconRulz will warn Procon doesn't have that key, but ProconRulz will still use it ok), but BF3.def is the file that has the weapon->damage mappings in it (see the weapons.add info above) so without "Defib" in BF3.def you can't use the "Damage" info.

On Kill;Not Damage Melee;Not Damage Handgun;PlayerCount 3;Log %p% banned (Melee / pistols /Repair Tool only);Ban %p% knife/pistol/repair tool only

On Kill;Not Damage Melee;Not Damage Handgun;PlayerCount 2;Log %p% kicked (Knife / pistols / Repair Tool only);Kick %p% knife/pistol/repair tool only

On Kill;Not Damage Melee;Not Damage Handgun;PlayerSay %p% knife/pistols/repair tool only;Kill 100

On Kill;Weapon Weapons/Knife/Knife;Say %p% made %v% his bitch!

I.e. the player was a Procon admin, in your 'reserved slots' list or on the player whitelist or the clan whitelist?

 

With your rulz, a player with a rifle should get auto-killed on kill #1 and kill #2, then kicked on kill #3, and banned on kill #4 - maybe you were expecting kick on kill #2? PlayerCount X means PlayerCount > X ...

ProconRulz *does* have a generic "Exec" action that can execute any rcon admin command so if you're clever maybe you can think of a way of putting the test server-side, and calling that from ProconRulz. You *can* write server side variables in ProconRulz (using the Exec action with the appropriate rcon command) so you could have your rulz controlling the "vars.vehicleSpawnAllowed" value (not what you want, probably).

Well... It doesn't! lol It didn't work, What's wrong with this code?

 

And btw, what exactly is considered heavy vehicle? besides tank, is jet and heli considered heavy too?

 

Thank you so much for this fantastic plugin!

 

 

P.S. And I wanted to write a code that would limit the snipers on each team to 5, but I wanted this code to only kill the ones that would spawn with a sniper rifle. So if somebody spawned as a Recon class but not with a sniper rifle (E.G. a shotgun) he wouldn't die. Is it possible to do it with just one line of code? or I should write dozens of code to ban every single sniper rifle?

BF3 does NOT send the correct weapon details for any vehicle kills so your VehicleHeavy rule cannot work, and does NOT send weapon loadout information for any player at spawn time. If/when BF3 is updated to provide this information then you will be able to use the rulz as you intended both for tank kills and players spawning with sniper rifles.

 

In the meantime you can only implement limits by acting upon KILL events with certain weapons, for more information read the 1st post in this thread.

Thank you for your fast response:smile:

I didn't see those info on the plugin Details in the Procon itself, that's why I got a little confused.

 

But I found something interesting in what you said on the first post, I quote:

 

On an infantry-only server, you can use a Weapon Death condition to block mortars because you are not worried about vehicle kills being affected by the same rule.

So technically, I can limit the use of tanks, jets, heli, machine guns on vehicles (_), mortar by using Weapon Death condition to block these vehicles and weapons until both teams have 5 or more players, is that right? Or am I just getting all wrong again?

 

P.S. oh and btw, by "Use" I mean when somebody gets a kill/damage with those vehicles.

the only problem is that it works when i tk 5 times but if i tk after that i get killed each time instead of every 5th tk. I want it to kill you on every 5th tk. Not every tk after the 5th tk. Any suggestions?

yeah exactly right. If you want to make kills from any vehicle, and the mortar, suicidal until there are 5 or more players per side, use

 

On Kill;Weapon Death;Teamsize 4;Say %p% no vehicle or mortar kills until 5 players/team;Kill

OK IT WORKS
