On PC, safe zones usually come from a mod. Console servers can't run mods, so you need another way to keep the trader or the spawn area peaceful. Law's KillFeed watches every kill on your server and acts on kills inside zones you draw: it can ban or unwhitelist the killer, ping your staff and post the kill to its own channel.

Be clear with your players about what this does: it can't stop a bullet in game. It removes whoever breaks the rule, within a few minutes, which is usually enough to keep a zone quiet.

Draw the zone

  1. Open your server in the dashboard and go to Zones.
  2. Press Add zone and pick a circle, a rectangle or a polygon. Chernarus, Livonia, Sakhal and Nasdara are supported.
  3. Draw it around your trader, spawn or event area: click the centre of a circle, two opposite corners of a rectangle, or each corner of a polygon (click the first corner again to finish).
  4. Drag the orange dot to move the zone and the white dots to resize or reshape it. On a polygon, drag a small dot between two corners to add a corner, or double-click a corner to remove it.
  5. Give it a name and pick the channel where kills inside it should be posted.

Choose what happens on a kill

  • Safe zone: marks the zone as no-killing. To ban, kick, warn or unwhitelist whoever kills inside, add a rule on the Server Rules page: "Kill in a zone" with this zone or with every safe zone, then pick what happens and for how long.
  • Ping: mentions a staff member or role in the zone channel.
  • Send location: adds a map link to the post.
  • Bounty: puts a bounty on the killer.

A kill counts as inside the zone when the victim dies inside it, so a sniper shooting into a safe zone from outside is caught too.

Add your admins and any trusted players to the zone's ignore list so they can deal with trouble inside it without being banned.

Paid plan extras

The free plan gives each server 3 zones with kill checks. The paid plan raises that to 50 and adds entry checks: an alert with the player's position when someone walks into a zone, ban on entry, and zone ban lists that ban listed players as soon as they are seen inside. Entry checks need Player List Logging turned on in Nitrado.

Questions

Does the zone stop players from taking damage?

No. Console DayZ has no way to switch damage off in an area without mods. The bot acts after a kill, by banning or unwhitelisting the killer and alerting your staff.

How quickly is a killer banned?

Within a few minutes. The bot reads the admin log every two minutes and sends the ban to Nitrado straight after.

Can I set up zones from Discord?

Yes. /setupzone, /editzone and /zonemenu do the same as the map editor.
