whats the point of detecting the tree or nearby objects?

You're not the creative type, are you?

Can't hug a tree if you can't find one.

Yesterday I made a script that removed all trees in a certain radius, they were in the way for the sniper position I wanted to use. So that is one example at least :)

Thanks for the help :D

Trees in a 20m radius of player.  http://prntscr.com/bwlu1y

nearTrees = nearestTerrainObjects [player, ["TREE","SMALL TREE"], 20];

timberrrrrr!  (at least one tree model doesn't actually fall over on Tanoa. It is a cluster of a few trees in 1 mode.: t_inocarpus_f.p3d) 

{_x setDamage 1} forEach nearTrees;

go away trees...

{_x remoteExecCall ["hideObjectGlobal",2]} forEach nearTrees;

Ok here's a challenge. How to remove fallen trees (terrain object)?

 

Tree (terrain object) does not change ATL/ASL position on the map when it falls.

 

So how to detect fallen tree? 

 

And yes I was there when it fell so I can confirm it made a noise. :wacko:

If a remote fallen tree is removed in a forest ... does it make a sound ?

Get all the trees in vicinity, find the damaged ones and hideObject them?

@teeend3r - yep your logical suggestion worked - thanks.

 

The solution turned out to be simple and trees like other terrainobjects sustain damage (as expected) they however don't trigger when dead - !alive but do when damage ==1 or partial.

Also the tree collision hull is removed from the object when damage ==1 presumably to prevent AI pathing issues. AI appear to be able to see and shoot through fallen trees. 

 

So a very simple solution to clear all fallen trees (damage ==1) in an area is to drop a logic down and on it's init put :

trees = nearestTerrainObjects [this, ["TREE". "SMALL TREE" "BUSH"], 500];  

Then run a trigger, cond = true

{if (damage _x ==1) then {hideobject _x}} foreach trees; 

I tried to script it but that got a little tricky and I ended up being stumped (excuse the pun) when processing the object array.

Perhaps someone with better array knowledge could write something that's more elegant than a simple trigger / logic combo. 

 

Also maybe slowly sinking the tree below the surface would be less dramatic than sudden removal. 

 

The trees made no noise when removed even though I was there at the time - virtually speaking.
