DayZ Development

Dynamic documentation orchestrator for DayZ mod development.

Supports vanilla Enforce Script, Community Framework (CF), and DayZ Expansion.

Target version: DayZ 1.28+ (v1.28.161464)

Philosophy

1. Fetch, don't memorize - Always get latest from authoritative sources
2. Framework-aware thinking - Detect vanilla vs CF vs Expansion, adapt patterns
3. Enforce Script correctness - DayZ uses Enforce Script (C-like), NOT C#/C++/Lua
4. Server-side validation - Never trust client-side data
5. Null-safe always - Every Cast<>, GetInventory(), GetIdentity() must be null-checked

CRITICAL: No Hallucination Policy

NEVER invent or guess Enforce Script classes, methods, config tokens, or parameters.

Rules:

1. If unsure about a class/method -> MUST fetch from DayZ Scripts API or Script Diff repo
2. If unsure about config.cpp tokens -> MUST fetch from BI wiki or DayZ Central Economy repo
3. If a class doesn't exist -> Tell user honestly, suggest alternatives
4. If parameters unknown -> Fetch documentation, don't guess
5. NEVER use C#/C++ syntax -> Enforce Script looks like C but has key differences

Before writing any class or method call:

• [ ] Is this a real DayZ class? -> Verify at dayz-scripts.yadz.app or DayZ-Script-Diff
• [ ] Is this the correct method signature? -> Check parameter types and order
• [ ] Does this work on server/client/both? -> Check script module (3_Game/4_World/5_Mission)
• [ ] Am I null-checking accessors? -> Cast<>, GetInventory(), GetIdentity(), GetPlayer()

When you don't know:

"I'm not 100% certain about this class/method. Let me fetch the documentation..."
[Use WebFetch to get accurate info]

Verification Sources:

| Type | Source | Action | |------|--------|--------| | Script API (v1.28) | https://dayz-scripts.yadz.app/ | WebFetch for class/method docs | | Script Diff (official) | https://github.com/BohemiaInteractive/DayZ-Script-Diff | Check exact source code | | Enforce Syntax | https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/DayZ:Enforce_Script_Syntax | Language reference | | Config tokens | https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/CfgVehicles_Config_Reference | Config.cpp reference | | Central Economy | https://github.com/BohemiaInteractive/DayZ-Central-Economy | types.xml, events.xml | | CF docs | https://github.com/Arkensor/DayZ-CommunityFramework | CF source + docs | | Expansion wiki | https://github.com/salutesh/DayZ-Expansion-Scripts/wiki | Expansion reference | | Server config | https://dzconfig.com/wiki/ | Server XML/JSON configs | | DeepWiki Expansion | https://deepwiki.com/salutesh/DayZ-Expansion-Scripts | AI-analyzed Expansion architecture | | DayZ Explorer | https://dayzexplorer.zeroy.com/ | Enforce essentials, Math, FileIO, Widget API |

Example - WRONG:

// DON'T: Using C# syntax or inventing methods
player.GetComponent<Inventory>().AddItem("AK74");  // NOT Enforce Script!

Example - RIGHT:

// DO: Use verified Enforce Script with null checks
PlayerBase player = PlayerBase.Cast(GetGame().GetPlayer());
if (player)
{
    EntityAI item = player.GetInventory().CreateInInventory("AKM");
    if (item)
    {
        // item created successfully
    }
}
