Garbage collector exception

[WurschtBanane 11]

I want to use the Garbage collector, but make sure it does NOT remove the 7 Dead bodies i placed in the editor (Soldier with 0% Health).

 

If you want to recommend me a script, make sure there is a way to NOT delete these Bodies, not delete Stuff in front of peoples faces and only delete Bodies when they have been lying around for a time.

You can try this one: removeFromRemainsCollector 

But I never really touched the Garbage collector so... theoretically

Just like crewt said:

removeFromRemainsCollector[unit1,unit2,unit3,unit4,unit5,unit6,unit7]; //etc

Popped into init.sqf and works, as long as AI death is delayed after game start to allow removeFromRemainsCollector to initialise. Could anybody help with code to delay a

_unit setdamage 1

to a unit or units by say 10 seconds?

_unit spawn {sleep 10; (_this setDamage 0;};

Thanks @R3vo! It appears a ")" was missing but they was easy enough to solve. However can you or somebody else assist me to understand the logic?

First, would this code belong in the unit's init or server init? Second, I read it as when an AI spawns, a 10 second delay of damage 0 (alive) exists?

_unit is the parameter you give to the spawned script.

In the script's scope you access to _unit by using the magic variable _this

Basically, what this script does is waiting 10 secondes, and then heal the unit. If you want to kill it you have to use setDamage 1 instead of 0.

Sorry, that was my mistake. Yes a bracket was missing and I typed 0 instead of 1.

Thank you to all for your kind input. I try to pick up on code language where I can but it can be difficult sometimes to understand the speak.

Does this code go into the AI init whom I want this to occur? You see I only have 8 AI (out of possibly 100's more) that I want to be excluded from the garbage collector.

 

edit; ah wait, is it something like:

_kill = [unit_1, unit_2];
_kill spawn {sleep 10; (_this setDamage 1);};
