Cryptdik 5 Posted May 29, 2017 So I'm trying to set it up so that the corpses that get cleaned up consist of only the players (respawning units) and the enemy forces minus vehicles for a defense mission. I'd like to keep the corpses of any friendlies that are in the defensive area for the sake of immersion. If in my description.ext I have corpseManagerMode = 2 so it cleans up player units, how can I also make it clean up any units of a specific side (preferably without removing vehicles, again for immersion)? Would I be able to use a pre-made script? And if so, what would be a good one to accomplish this task? Or else is there a way to make the built in corpse manager work this way?

pierremgi 4892 Posted May 29, 2017 You can use the garbage collector (in editor Same as description.ext and this command family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cryptdik 5 Posted May 29, 2017 Is there a way to make this so that it works on all units of a specific side? Since I'm using a random spawning script it would be much easier to make it simply remove the enemies that continuously spawn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pierremgi 4892 Posted May 29, 2017 _grp = bla bla bis_fnc_spawnGroup; // or equivalent if (side _grp == EAST) then {removeFromRemainsCollector units _grp}; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cryptdik 5 Posted May 30, 2017 So I'm still having trouble making this work. Trying to make it so I can simply add a spawned group to the collector. I've been looking at this: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addToRemainsCollector But how can I substitute the unit array with a group name? Something like addToRemainsCollector group "groupname" (I didn't test this) or something like that, so this way it will just add the groups I want to be cleaned without affecting anyone else? Also, In my description.ext I have corpseManagerMode = 2; Could that be affecting this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pierremgi 4892 Posted May 30, 2017 I wrote for_grp . I thought it was clear that _grp is already a group. So you just have to test with your group... Don't confuse a group and an array of units. You need an array for the foreach loop. The reason why the "units" command is added to pass from a group to an array of units. corpseManagerMode =2 = None_But_Respawned - Only units that can respawn are managed by the manager. So these units are usually the playable units. (If you want to respawn some of other AIs, IMHO, you need a script like this one.) So far, you just have to add in the collector, the AIs of the side you want to be cleaned, as written above. The collector will not see your other side(s) spawned units. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cryptdik 5 Posted June 1, 2017 I've got one more issue with using this. I've been trying to figure out where to put the lines to add the created groups in a script I'm using to the collector. Here's the script that I use to spawn waves of infantry. My issue is that I've placed the addtoremainscollector under several spots throughout the script and cannot find a way to make it work.

Cryptdik 5 Posted June 1, 2017 Or simpler, I have a trigger set up to detect BLUFOR units in the area and add them to the garbage collector, but I have a problem with this too. Repeatable BLUFOR PRESENT Cond:this && isNil "garbvar" OnAct: addToRemainsCollector this; garbvar = true; Deact: 0 = [] spawn {sleep 10; garbvar = nil} Problem is I know that addToRemainsCollector this; won't work because it's not referencing the group. How do I make it select the unit/group that activated it to add to the collector? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pierremgi 4892 Posted June 1, 2017 As I told you, not a group, a units array: You have to choose between units yourgrp and [unit1,unit2,...] For your trigger, it's simple as: addToRemainscollector thislist; For your script, as you're creating empty groups, even if using units (good point) you catch an empty array, not updated. So, use the command after spawning units. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, use the command after spawning units. Sorry I'm a bit slow to pick up some of the syntax shtuff. So from my understanding would I be able to put addToRemainscollector thislist; outside the last }; of the script so that it plays afterwards? Or do I put it in the part that says "SET UP STUFF HERE"? I get the group vs units array part now, but I'm still unsure how to piece this together. Where do I put addToRemainscollector thislist; so that thislist refers to the created groups? EDIT: Wait I realized that you were referring to the trigger set up. I'm going to test it now with addToRemainsCollector thislist; instead of addToRemainsCollector this; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
