Delete object without ID

[cookies2432 105]

So, it's late and my brain isn't working properly sadly. I was wondering if anyone knows how to delete an object without it having a variable name? It calls a function so i tried "deleteVehicle (_this select 0);" but arma 3 gave me hell for that so i haven't consider trying it again. I appriciate all the help I can get, and for anyone who's curious, it's food items, something of a project i'm working on, this is just a part of it :)

How is the object accessed in the first place? Is it passed as an argument to a file? function? You need some way to access the object you're trying to delete otherwise you'd be deleting thin air.

fnc_pickup =
{
hint "fired";
_item = _this select 0;
_plr = _this select 1;
_itemClass = typeOf (_item select 0);
_indexNum = itemArray find _itemClass;
_plrInv = profileNamespace getVariable "VirtualInventory";
_amount = _plrInv select _indexNum;
_plrInv set [_indexNum, _amount +1];
profileNamespace setVariable ["VirtualInventory",_plrInv];
_plrInv = profileNamespace getVariable "VirtualInventory";
hint format ["%1",_item];

deleteVehicle (_this select 0);

};

This is the code i'm using, the object calls it via an addAction put on the object however, in the future it wont be an addAction in its init line

Anyone? :/

so _item is an array according to this?

_itemClass = typeOf (_item select 0);

you cannot delete array with deleteVehicle

[cookies2432 105]

_item is the whole id name sort of of the item (a rice box for example) and _itemClass is the pure classname itself (land_rice_somethinghereidk.p3d)

 

And ah okay, how would i go on about deleting the object?

Wait, can't you simply do a

 

{  delteVehicle _x } forEach arrayname;

 

?

[cookies2432 105]

Thank you! It works, however it gives me a weird error (even tho it works) deleteVehicle type number, expected object?

[lexx 1331]

What about forEach units arrayname; ? (not tested, just guessing right now)

[cookies2432 105]

It's okay, i solved it with 

_itemTake = _item select 0;


_itemTake = deleteVehicle _itemTake;
