Minefield not deleting

[Stormmy1950 42]

Ok so the problem is next:

I have created minefield that spawns in the area that i want with Alias Minefield Script and that works perfect but i want that same minefield to be deleted so i can spawn it and delete it again and again.

here is my try of deleting the minefield:

_Mines = nearestObjects [player, [
	"timebombcore",
	"mineBase",
	"MineGeneric",
	"APERSBoundingMine",
	"APERSMine"
	], 100];
{ 		
	deleteVehicle _x;
	_x setDamage _Mines;
} forEach _Mines;

systemChat "Minefield has been deleted";

 

[Mr H. 402]

_x setDamage _mines doesn't make any sense

[Stormmy1950 42]

i know i saw that when i posted here now it is _x SetDamage 1;

 

[Mr H. 402]

You don't need to set damage if you delete the object. If that doesn't work check the class names.

[Stormmy1950 42]

i was just trying to make it eather it delet or explode  just so they are deleted.

but that dosent work and the class name of the mine is APERSMine so i know its right

 

[Mr H. 402]

Yeah but for explosives the class name is not the cfgMagazines but ammo  try with APERSMine_Range_Ammo

Just now, Mr H. said:

is not the cfgMagazines

APERSMine is CfgVehicles

My bad!

nope I was right: just checked and placed a mine next to me
typeOf((nearestObjects [player, [], 200]) select 1);
returns
APERSMine_Range_Ammo

[Mr H. 402]

So find the ammo classes here https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_CfgMagazines

check it yourself

As I said, I did. Once on the ground the object placed is class APERSMine_Range_Ammo so for the snippet @Stormmy1950 posted "APERSMine" doesn't work while "APERSMine_Range_Ammo" should

So this is what i have right now but still the Mines are not deleting

_Mines = nearestObjects [player, [
	"APERSBoundingMine",
	"APERSMine",
	"APERSMine_Range_Ammo",
	"APERSMine_Range_Mag"
	], 100];
{ 		
	deleteVehicle _x;
} forEach _Mines;

systemChat "Minefield has been deleted";

And this is how i spawn them:

 

test_action7 = ["mcn_explosive","Spawn Minefield","",{null = ["marker_center",25,"APERSMine",25,false,false] execVM "Scirpts\Explosives\alias_mines.sqf";},{true}] call ace_interact_menu_fnc_createAction;   
[MineLaptop,0,["ACE_MainActions"],test_action7] call ace_interact_menu_fnc_addActionToObject; 

 

[Mr H. 402]

ok after checking the other way around neither work my bad again

[Mr H. 402]

Someone in the comments of nearestObjects says it doesn't work for grenades and that you should use nearobjects instead so maybe use that instead but use your original class names in the end I think @killzone_kid has it right not me

[Mr H. 402]

BUT I used nearObjects recently to detect a grenade and had to check for the ammo. So just try and see.

[killzone_kid 1333]

Dunno how ace works but mines should be created with createMine

[Stormmy1950 42]

@killzone_kid Well i have  minefiled script that alias Created. that is just a funcion like addaction witch gives me the interaction on laptop with ace so i can spawn minefield But my delete mine script is not working for deleting mines

 

this is alias Script for minefield:

// nul = [] execVM "ambient\alias_mines.sqf";

private ["_al_ied_trigger","_al_show","_al_mine","_IED_blow_trigger","_mark_current","_array_temp","_field_center","_field_radius","_nclass_mines","_number_mines","_marker_mines","_debugs_mines","_nm","_markern","_pos_mine","_markerstr","_count_mark","_array_markers"];

};

if (_marker_mines) then {

	if ((markerType _x == "Empty") and (_x != _field_center) and (((getMarkerPos _x) distance (getMarkerPos _field_center))<=_field_radius)) then {

systemChat "Minefield Created!";

/* in order to manipulate the mines stored in array you need to place your script that does that here like i did below,
if you want to use the array in another script you have to make _al_show global or public variable and of course to the array manipulation there
*/

//hint str _al_show;


/*
sleep 5;

for "_ii" from 0 to 40 do
{
	if (_IED_blow_trigger) then {((_al_show select _ii) select 0) setDamage 100} 
	else {(_al_show select _ii) setDamage 100};
	sleep 0.1+random 1;
};

 

and this is how i call it on laptop like addaction:

test_action7 = ["mcn_explosive","Spawn Minefield","",{null = ["marker_center",50,"APERSMine",25,false,true] execVM "Scirpts\Explosives\alias_mines.sqf";},{true}] call ace_interact_menu_fnc_createAction;  
[MineLaptop,0,["ACE_MainActions"],test_action7] call ace_interact_menu_fnc_addActionToObject;

and that all works but i cant delete the mines after i have created them

 

[Mr H. 402]

The only way I could get the mine was with (player nearObjects ["MineBase", 200])
"APERSMine" didn't work, neither did "APERSMine_Range_Ammo"

[Stormmy1950 42]

i have this now but this dosent work neither:

 

_list = player nearObjects ["MineBase", 100];
{
 deleteVehicle _x;
}forEach _list;

 

[Stormmy1950 42]

OK it seams i fix it instead of "MineBase" i have used "mineBase" and that seams to be fix to this problem.

Thanks everybody who helped @Mr H. and @killzone_kid

[Mr H. 402]

My test mine was placed in editor so not created by script. Spawn the minefield and watch player nearObjects ["MineBase", 100]; see what it returns

nstead of "MineBase" i have used "mineBase

This should make 0 difference

[Stormmy1950 42]

@killzone_kid yet somehow made diffrence.

 

so this works:

_list = player nearObjects ["mineBase", 100];
{
 _x setDamage 1;
 //deleteVehicle _x;
}forEach _list;

and this dosent work:

_list = player nearObjects ["MineBase", 100];
{
 _x setDamage 1;
 //deleteVehicle _x;
}forEach _list;

Sorry but you talk utter nonsense. The command is case insensitive
 

createMine ["APERSMine", position player, [], 0];
player nearObjects ["MineBase", 10];

result is [8: mine_ap.p3d]
