Title: deadbody remover
Post by: websnake on 03 Jul 2005, 22:40:02

im making a mp mission and i want to put down about 100 men but i cant because it will lag to much when they get killed. Ive tried a few scripts to remove the dead bodys but none of them seem to work!!! can anyone help me please?

Hi there

You can remove dead bodies using the deleteVehicle command...
that would need the units to have a name
I guess you dont like the thought to give all those units a name...

edit: maybe the foreach command could help

something like
"? !Alive _x: deleteVehicle _x" forEach units >Group<

doesnt works in a trigger (I tried) but maybe in a script ??? (IÂ'll try)
this way only the groups would need a name...

Well try looking in the online Command Reference for now
Hope that helped a little bit...

Here is a simple way to do it. First, make a trigger covering the whole mission area, activated by 'anybody present' (one time). In it's 'on activation' field, write:

{_x addeventhandler ["killed", {_this exec "killed.sqs"}]} foreach thislist

Then make a script titled "killed.sqs", and put the following inside of it:

Code: [Select]

~60
deletevehicle (_this select 0)
exitThe ~60 means that it will wait 60 seconds after the unit is killed, then it will delete it. If you want a shorter or longer delay, just change that number.
