hiding the dead

[sharkattack]

guys ..
im trying to include this  option in a mission ... ive seen it done using the  bas  editor  thing ... but cant get my head around it ...
havnt quite sussed  SQF

I know i need to add a killed event handler to units which are hideable and  call a script to hide the body   but  im unsure  how to do this  have  played  about  but  with   no  joy  ...

any example  of how to do this   would  be  greatly  appreciated !   

many thanx  guys

in unit init

Code: [Select]

this AddEventHandler ["killed",{this addaction ["Hide Body","hidebody.sqs"]}]
hidebody.sqs

Code: [Select]

_body = _this select 0
_act = _this select 2

_body removeaction _act

hideBody _body

exit

hope it works

From memory of someone's OFP script:

bury.sqf

Code: [Select]

_this removeAllEventHandlers "KILLED";
hideBody _this;
sleep 5;
deleteVehicle _this;
And in the unit init:

Code: [Select]

this addEventHandler ["KILLED", {nul = (_this select 0) execVM "bury.sqf"}]

Edit: ack! new command hideBody! changed my code above after reading post below!

If U are happy with immediately sink into the ground effect U can use this line:

Code: [Select]

this addeventhandler["killed",{HideBody (_this select 0)}]

@ LCD

Your syntax isn't correct for the part you put in the unit's init field for AddAction.

You have

Code: [Select]

this addaction "hidebody.sqs" When the correct (at least basic, working) syntax would be something like

Code: [Select]

this addaction ["Hide Body","hidebody.sqs"]
Just thought I would mention it 

in unit init

Code: [Select]

this AddEventHandler ["killed",{this addaction "hidebody.sqs"}]

cheers  mate !!

EDIT

after checkin da situation in arma... it seems da ground in arma dont like swallowing bodies (unlike OFP)  so noting i can do bout dat sry... if none of da oder suggestions work... u can always replce da script w/ simple delete vehicle script

Code: [Select]

deleteVehicle (_this select 0)

exit

da effect is ugly but it works... nd u cud use some animation 2 make it nicer 2 da eye

NOTE: All of this was originally written by Fer and Raedor for the BAS Framework.  I've modified the code slightly to make it more general. 

Shark Attack:
To begin with, append this to your init.sqf or init.sqs file, replacing "dude1,dude2,etc" with the names of the units for which you want bodies to be removed:

Code: [Select]

_men = [dude1,dude2,etc];
{_x addEventHandler ["killed", {_this execVM "removeBody.sqf"}]} forEach _men;
If you'd rather not touch your init file, you could just add the previous line (minus the forEach stuff) to each unit's init line:

Code: [Select]

this addEventHandler ["killed", {_this execVM "removeBody.sqf"}]
Next, add this script to your mission directory, saving it as "removeBody.sqf:"

Code: [Select]

_body = _this select 0;

sleep 180;
deleteVehicle _body;
You can change the 180 to whatever you wish the delay to be before a body is removed. 

[LCD]

i think dat will do da same as my script  i just didnt put delay 2 it ?

Are you all aware that there's a hidebody command in ArmA now?
