How to make a list to delete from?

[bspendlove 10]

Currently I have:

 

  { deleteVehicle _x; } forEach nearestObjects [getMarkerPos "formation2",["B_Soldier_02_f"],25];

I want to create a list of vehicles in my Heli/Plane spawn script and delete all vehicles around my marker in this list -> (MH-9, AH-9, A-10, etc...)

 

I am not up to scripting knowledge but this is my view:

 

_currentSpawns = ["AH-9". "MH-9", "Other class names... etc..."]

 

 { deleteVehicle _x; } forEach nearestObjects [getMarkerPos "formation2",[_currentSpawns],25]; 

I am currently not in my house and can't try this, but would something like this work???

Should just need:

_currentSpawns = ["AH-9", "MH-9", "Other class names... etc..."]
{ deleteVehicle _x; } forEach nearestObjects [getMarkerPos "formation2",_currentSpawns,25];

Thank you, now how about if I wanted to pull a certain class out of _currentSpawns? Like.... _currentSpawns[0] will pull the AH-9?

Hmmm,

fnc_spawn_ah9 = {

	{ deleteVehicle _x; } forEach nearestObjects [getMarkerPos "heli_spawn",[_vehicleNames],15];
	sleep 1;
	_spawnHeli = "B_Heli_Light_01_armed_F" createVehicle getMarkerPos "heli_spawn";
	_spawnHeli setDir _direction;
	_spawnHeli lock 0;
	player moveInDriver _spawnHeli;
	[] exec "Scripts\PilotTraining\heli_functions.sqf"; 

				};

_s addAction ["<t color='#00FFFF'>Spawn AH-9</t>",{call fnc_spawn_ah9;}];

Doesn't seem to delete the vehicle before spawning in a new one? I obviously forgot something! xD

_vehicleNames is array!

{ deleteVehicle _x; } forEach nearestObjects [getMarkerPos "heli_spawn",_vehicleNames,15];

But if you select item from array using select, you should place it into square brackets:

{ deleteVehicle _x; } forEach nearestObjects [getMarkerPos "heli_spawn",[_vehicleNames select 0],15];

Thank you a ton. :D

The array list with the Classnames don't seem to work:

_vehicleNames = ["B_Heli_Light_01_armed_F","B_Heli_Light_01_F","B_Heli_Attack_01_F","B_Heli_Transport_01_F", "O_Heli_Light_02_F","O_Heli_Light_02_unarmed_F","O_Heli_Attack_02_F","O_Heli_Attack_02_black_F","I_Heli_Transport_02_F","I_Heli_light_03_F","I_Heli_light_03_unarmed_F"];

fnc_spawn_ah9 = {

	{ deleteVehicle _x; } forEach nearestObjects [getMarkerPos "heli_spawn",_vehicleNames, 50];
	sleep 1;
	_spawnHeli = "B_Heli_Light_01_armed_F" createVehicle getMarkerPos "heli_spawn";
	_spawnHeli setDir _direction;
	_spawnHeli lock 0;
	player moveInDriver _spawnHeli;
	[] exec "Scripts\PilotTraining\heli_functions.sqf"; 

				};

so I could change the createVehicle to select from the array but I will do that later, I want to make sure all vehicles around the heli_spawn are being deleted (only classes in the _vehicleNames list) but it won't delete them.

 

I've tried to create a separate function to delete vehicles:

fnc_delete_all = {

	{ deleteVehicle _x; } forEach nearestObjects [getMarkerPos "helistudent",[_vehicleNames select 0], 10];

		};

But that doesn't seem to work when used in addAction. Instead of using _vehicleNames and actually writing the classname of the vehicle, it works perfectly but I thought it would tidy things up a tiny bit :P

Script don't work because _vehicleNames is local variable and it's undefined in fnc_delete_all. Do it global variable by deleting underscore.

Thank you both a ton, it is working now. I will have a long read, thank you for that link. :)
