[Conditions] delete side-units in a loop

[Dreadleif 4]

Hello :). I hope someone can help me with this, as I haven't found any clear answers by searching. There are several areas scattered around the map where opfor units might wander off and get stuck, clogging the server. I want to cleanse them.

 

imaginaryscript.sqf

For each of the 8 areas, I want to do the following: 
If opfor units are in area_X, and blufor units are not in area_X, delete units of the side EAST in area_X. Loop every 10 seconds. 

right now I just have a silly trigger with

action: {deleteVehicle _x} forEach thisList;

condition: (this (opfor present)) && (!triggeractivated airbase_bluforpresent)

But it's totally random and overall bad.

:b:

Create a trigger on each zone with defined area can be  ellipse.

 

 

Trigger type "Empty"

Trigger activation Anybody , Present, repeatable

trigger condition

 this && ({side _x == WEST && _x in thisList} count allunits == 0)

on trigger activation

{
    if (alive _x && side _x == EAST && _x in thisList) then {
        
        deleteVehicle _x;
    };
} forEach allUnits;

_{I asume you are trying to build your own spawn system.}

 

_{If so, it is more complex than what you think.}

 

For example: what if some areas overlap? What if you conquered the área? What if on an ovelaped área there are spawned defensive BLUFORS which are making not to despawn?

 

_{Check EOS code which is the first reference to it (but not the best, the best is mine :) )}

lol, I will admit it, when I first discarted EOS and thought "nah, I'm big enough to take on this myself!" I may have been a bit overconfident due to recent advances. It's really, really damn hard to make a coherent spawning system, no doubt. The problem is that EOS doesn't fit the kind of map I want to make at all, so I'm kind of forced to make my own.. I'm willing to pay someone right now to make it.

 

The trigger didn't work, Davidoss.

The above won't work as thistrigger should be thislist  but also the trigger would need to be set to anybody present

 

I would think script would be easier 

place in init.sqf  or use null=[] execvm "triggers,sqf"  place in an init box

Add more triggers to the _triggers array as you wish

Also set trigger anyone present repeating

 

save as trigger.sqf

_triggers = [trig_1,trig_2,trig_3];
while {true} do {
    sleep 10;
{
sleep 0.01;
     if ((west countSide list _x) == 0) then { {if (side _x == EAST) then {deletevehicle _x}} foreach list _x};
  } foreach _triggers;
};

Well, it took me around 6 months to have a bulletproof spawning system to cover the whole island (around 150 zones if I remember well) which checks in less than a second with very small impact on FPS, and now I can say it is very hard to design one and very easy to implement it.

 

You may unpbo Antistasi and check the script distancias3.sqf which is the begining of everything.

Right. My bad. Updated my post above
