Anyway?

[Parrot4543 10]

Is there a way to clear functions out the the servers resident memory without disrupting a mission? I did come across a BIS function that "halts a function" and returns an error message of your choice I am wondering if it "actually flushes the memory"?

hi Parrot4543,

I don't know if i got your question right. So you ask of a way to erase/delete a user made function out of the memory on mission runtime?

If thats the question, I assume further that you used "<functionname> = compile <function/filename>" to load/compile it first.

The answer then is simply use "<functionname> = Null" to erase/delete it, but this can easily went to undesired behavior, to say the least.

Yes that is exactly what I wish to do and I want to "safely" erase the function without it breaking anything... Because I know that functions still exist in the memory... no matter what they are loaded and stay there... Clearing them would reduce server load correct?

Not null, nil

myFunc = compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "script.sqf";
[foo] call myFunc;
myFunc = nil;

I do not think you would notice a great reduce of server load however, unless your script files are several hundreds LoC's

Not sure what you think is a descriptive topic title but "Anyway?" sure is not.
