How to customize killcam on server

Question

I have played on servers where killcam is completely disabled which is not really good as I want to know what was cause of death. So basically I want to leave only info on the right side of screen where you can see nickname of killer, who assisted and what was used to kill, and want to remoe killcam highlight which spots the killer and shows his location.

I tried to search rules editor but these nodes are not very selfexplanatory and I'm not even sure that it's possible to do something what I want.

As I understand it should be pretty simple, something like: Event - OnPlayerDied / OnPlayerEarnedKill, Condition - Player Got Killed / Got Kill, Action - Disable Killcam. Or something similar but so far I couldn't find such nodes.

Can somebody help with this?

@captainAKAcapt Hi mate, it’s a lot simpler to do than you think.
Forget the rules editor for this one:

In the initial portal builder sections, go to:

Modifiers
Soldier

Then under “Man-Down Type”, change it to either “crawl” or “instant death”.

These two options both remove the kill cam.
Your normal kill/ death info will still appear on screen as usual.

“Crawl” means that a killed player can crawl away and be revived.
“Instant death” is obviously instant death.

@captainAKAcapt Edit:I’m not sure if the detailed kill card will appear on the right of the screen as your image shows.All my servers are hardcore and I remove quite a lot. I also have all my servers set to “crawl” for the man down type.So if the kill card on the right of the screen is what you still want to keep, you may lose it by changing the man down type.You’ll just have to test it.For me, removing the kill cam was priority, so I don’t mind losing death info in the process

@creepnpeep Thank you for answer. Killcam disappears indeed, unfortunately kill card too.

Asking about this specific setting just because on hc servers I often die to unknown explosions or without any sound at all and kill card would help understand what specialist, gadget or tactic I should use next time. But at the same time I don't want to spoil player's position.

@captainAKAcapt My advice is to remove killcam because it was one of the worst things to enter a battlefield game.
Pick the specialist you find best.
Equip what works for you.
Play the game in your style.
Avoid trying to mimic other peoples play style or equipment.
