Removing Map Rocks via IDs

[spectrersg 9]

I dont think I'll have much luck with this, but I'll ask to see anyways...

In ArmA there's a way to remove a tree thats obstructing a view by settings its health to 0. But how would this effect rocks if the rocks need to be removed?

I'm setting up a firing range on the Kamino Firing Range - there are rocks along the coast that obstruct the view that need to be removed. Does anyone know if theres a scripting method to remove these suckers?

I think that it's impossible to remove a rock , or tree, but you can break it. So as if somebody ran a tree or bush over. That's the best you can do.

Give this a shot http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?82553-Remove-a-building&p=1396269&viewfull=1#post1396269 looks like it only works on buildings and trees though.

Try to hide it instead

How would you hide it? And I'm away of that nearestObject setDamage trick - but this isnt a tree or a building. Its a rock... With no health already?

Well, I tried the following, with no avail - any other ideas?

{

hideobject _x;

} forEach _Del;

As a note it's being executed in the init as: _nul = [] execVM "scripts\ranges\objectclear.sqf";

Any other ideas?

Well seems like deleteColection used to do it :(

Also hideObject in arma 3 does only visually hide object but collision remains.

I was able hide object and disable collision with player, but no luck disabling collision with anything else.

So you can run thru invisible building but if you hop onto Quadbike you will hit an invisible wall :/

hideObject _x;

_x disableCollisionWith player;

[killzone_kid 1326]

thats because player becomes vehicle when in vehicle

[aeroson 8]

Tried it with vehicle as well, i guess it does only work with player.

_x disableCollisionWith (vehicle player); // doesn't work :/

[killzone_kid 1326]

What about assigning it to the actual vehicle too before player sits on it?

It is strange because you cannot even remove trees by setDamage 1 to them like you did in arma 2. I say it is alpha issue.
