Making a dead body stay for entire mission?

[Guest]

I have a unit that on mission startup I use setdamage 1 to kill him. I would like to stop his body from disappearing during the entire mission or atleast 10-20 mins.

This is an AI unit, not a player body. Is this possible?

bodys shouldnt disapear until you use the garbage collector module or a script as far as i know.

Yes. A dead body (player or AI) will never be removed from a mission unless a script, module or maybe an addon tells the game engine to do it.

Deafault is to leave dead bodies as they are. If they are removed something is actively telling the game engine to do it.

I would probably use something like an event handler that execs the line "

this enablesimulation false

"; this would take the dead unit out of the games scope and leave the model behind, it wont collide, animate or be useable for gear though.

Borrow your place and ask:

I still don't know how to use GarbageCollect Module. Just put it on the map, that's all??

Now I use scripts to delete every deadbody.
