Common - Block radio status effect without blocking direct voice (ACRE)

[PabstMirror]

ref IDI-Systems/acre2#1159 (will need to wait for next acre release)

[jonpas]

Merged in ACRE2.

would just changing the variable here not block voices for unconscious players? If the variable name is to be believed it won't stop players from talking while unconscious wouldn't it?

[LinkIsGrim]

No. This is just the blockRadio status effect, uncon voice control is handled elsewhere (setVolume).

[jonpas]

Merge or wait for ACRE2 to have it in a release?

[PabstMirror]

this is really subjective
I think it's worse to not be able to say anything than for a captive to be able to use the radio
but it's probably fine to wait for next acre

No. This is just the blockRadio status effect, uncon voice control is handled elsewhere (setVolume).

had a play around yesterday (not realizing the ACRE change needed to go through) and ran into the issue of players being able to talk while unconscious, the setVolume function handles incoming sounds not outgoing.

ACE3/addons/medical_status/functions/fnc_setUnconsciousState.sqf

Line 35 in 48912be

[_unit, "blockRadio", "ace_unconscious", _active] call EFUNC(common,statusEffect_set);

is what's used to prevent talking, which uses this does it not? I can't find anywhere in the ACRE codebase either that handles the ACE unconscious status

acre_sys_core_isDisabledRadio is now in an ACRE2 dev-build, so I think we can merge this and have it ready.

See medical_feedback component. That's where that bit is handled.
