If you log out at permanent contaminated zone, will your character die?

whatever, the point is that the game actually does differentiate if you relog in a static or dynamic gas zone because in the former case you had to walk into the zone deliberately while in the latter you can get trapped there through no fault of one's own.

I just posted the Code .. It does not differentiate between Static and Dynamic, at all.

It checks for "(PersistentFlag.AREA_PRESENCE)" with "Area_Presence" being ANY Gas Zone.

Here's the thing @AST .. You could have made a good argument, by saying the game tries to save you if you got caught in a Gas Zone accidentally and did not have on any NBC gear, where-as, if you where in a Static Zone, it could be assumed you had NBC Gear on, and did not need saved .. But that is not the argument you made.

Though it wouldn't matter, because the Game doe not differentiate WHY you where in a Gas Zone ..only THAT you where in a Gas Zone. It does not check for NBC Gear, and it does not check WHY you logged off .. It only checks to see if you are NOW in a Gas Zone

OK I have just tried this on my test server - teleport to hills above Rify, ran down into gas zone next to ship - logged out - dayz shutdown completely - irl went off made a drink - came back about 10 mins later - logged in - back in gas cloud exactly where i left.
So... no you are not moved to a safe point from a static gas cloud if you logged off in it (by choice at least). Btw I was wearing full nbc.

You can test it on official, you can test it on a private server (which you can btw shut down and restart with no changes to the outcome), it's always the same result. You don't get teleported in a static zone.
And i bet you won't get moved logging out and back in in an existing dynamic zone either.

Yeah, man you don't want to get caught in a bigass gas area, especially if some one ahead of you already found the beanz lol.

KC76 was probably in god mode when testing. The comments are actually relevant to this:

//the player does not have the AREA_PRESENCE flag set, which means they were not inside the area when they disconnected,
//that means they just spawned into a contaminated area, lets move them somewhere safe

At some point ago I was doing some loot configs for Rify and also changing the zone radius etc., so I was logging in and out quite a few times and the only times it would boot me out is when I was in god mode and logging out in the gas zone. When in god mode you do not gain this area presence flag, so as far as the game is concerned you are not in a gas zone. When you log back in it checks for this flag which you don't have, which is when the game moves you. Under normal circumstances you have this flag when you log out, kicked out, server restart etc., and still have it when you log back in, which lets you remain in the gas zone to keep looting as mentioned, however you likely are doing this with a full nbc set. But either way, with or without an nbc set you remain in the gas.

I did fire up my LAN server and walked into the RIFY gas zone and started coughing and logged out completely. Logged back in and I was in the same place coughing. Logged out completely one more time and then back and this time I was still in the same place but now I was puking blood and died. I was a bambi. RIP

This is indeed the case. Rather than spawn in NBC gear, I thought i'd be easier to just use god mode to enter the zone, and then when I logged back in, not in God Mode, I got one cough after Teleport, because for a split second I was spawned in the zone, the code did its calculation, and I got teleported.

Sim's comment got me thinking, so I tried to find the code that pre-defines area_presence, and how God Mode might affect that, but have not yet found the specific entries. Re-testing with NBC gear and no God Mode, I have to concede, I was NOT teleported. In practice, the Static vs Dynamic zone does not matter, and only whether or not you where in Gas before and/or after Logging.

Summary: The Zone Type does not matter, only the Presence of Gas state before and after Logging.

I shall now eat my humble pie, and skulk away defeated and self-humiliated.
Coco still gets the though, just because.

So, after all this can we now agree that YOU DO NOT GET MOVED TO SAFETY if you re-log in a static gas zone.

No, Static or Dynamic is not a part of the code. The pre-existance of a Gas Cloud when you log out does however, prevent you from being teleported to safety. That condition is more likely to happen in a Static gas zone, but it is not because "static vs dynamic".
-If you log out of a Dynamic gas zone while there is a gas cloud, and it is again in gas when you log in, you will also NOT be teleported.

Makes sense actually, otherwise you could run into a gas zone grab as much loot as possible, then just log out, and relog into a safe zone.

This is also tying in with my radiation experience (same as static gas) - I logged out before I added radiation zones, on relog I started in a new zone that didn't exist at log out, so even though it was static, I still got moved to a safe zone. But now if I log out, and in again at the same zone, I stay there.

[interrupt]

Here's another reason why YOU DO NOT GET MOVED TO SAFETY if you re-log in a static gas zone: if your nbc gear got ruined in the zone, you could just re-log and be moved out of danger. Another example: I once fell off the ship at Rify (stop laughing!) and broke my leg, did I log out and in again to get moved out of the gas? No. Because YOU DO NOT GET MOVED TO SAFETY!!!

LMAO Bruh, keep beating that dead horse ..

static means moving
