Disappearing Tank Problem Scenario

Recommended Posts

Ok, so I've been playing further into my warfare game in Chernarus Arma 2CO.

What happened is that I eventually got pinned down in a town depot by a squad and some tanks. I eventually had to pick off the few squad members and tanks for quite some time. After I had captured the depot, I bought a Humvee to go back to base and refresh my troop supply.

On my way back to base I came across a damaged and abandoned T-72 that was actually unlocked for once. It was still functional albeit very slow. I took it to the nearest depot to repair it and rearm it so I could use it. All was well, I got back to base, loaded up an APC and got some people to help me out in the tank. Once we were ready, we went on our way back to the area where I was originally pinned down so that I could secure the area further.

Well..... as I was driving into the town again..... the T-72 I was driving just disappeared as if it were David Copperfield in Tiananmen Square. Me and my 2 crewmates just fell to the ground in prone position and the APC stopped behind us.

Is there some kind of timed delete on enemy tanks? I was so happy to finally steal an enemy tank and then POOF, it's gone. Can I change that?

I searched the forums for "disappearing vehicles" and "disappearing tanks," nothing relevant came up.

thanks!

The mission has a 'garbage collector' script that removes "unneeded" entities. It's a pain in the ass and will never happen in a normal mission.

I'm going to try to set

BIS_WF_Constants SetVariable["ABANDONEDVEHICLETIME",900];

to 0... granted the tank wasnt abandoned. but maybe it will still fix the problem. Although at the risk of hitting performance. The salvage trucks should still work I hope.

WELL... that didn't fix it. That sucks. I stole a BDM-2 hoping to use it for awhile... disappeared right as I was driving again. That's stupid.
