toadeater 0 Posted February 28, 2003 I've tried using the deletevehicle command, but instead of deleting the object it causes OFP to crash. What do you have to do to get it to work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barcode6 0 Posted February 28, 2003 I have always just used </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">deletevehicle <unit><span id='postcolor'> where unit is the name you have assigned to the unit you would like to delete.  See if your trying to delete the editor name of the unit like deletevehicle "SoldierEB", these are the names that OFP uses in the createvehicle command, but your name you have given to the unit is used when deleteing vehicles.  For example, I can create an east soldier like this: </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"SoldierEB" createunit [getpos spawneast, tangodef3, "EastSol1 = this", 1, "PRIVATE"]<span id='postcolor'> where SoldierEB is the editor name of the unit, spawneast is the name of the game logic where you would like the unit to appear, tangodef3 is the name I used for the group this soldier was being added to, and  EastSol1 is the name I have assigned to the unit.  If I wanted to delete this unit I would use: </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">deletevehicle EastSol1<span id='postcolor'> Hope this helps, I'm not the best at explaining this stuff.

suma 8 Posted February 28, 2003 This topic might help you. DeleteVehicle seems to crash when used in the waypoint of units that are being deleted. You need to use it from a trigger or a script instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hovmand 0 Posted February 28, 2003 Thats what i did, placed a jeep on the map, named it j1, gave it a waypoint and in the on activation field i wrote deletevehicle j1, watched the jeep drive in to the waypoint and got deleted, and ofp didnt crash. Is it this what supossedly makes ofp crash? Or am i just making a fool of myself? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barcode6 0 Posted February 28, 2003 I've never used the deletetvehicle command in a waypoint, I've always called it from a script. Â Thanks Suma for explaining whats's up. Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By the way, I'm using 1.90 Maybe it's only restricted to 1.75-1.90 ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hovmand 0 Posted February 28, 2003 I have made two missions with the Deletevehicle command in waypoints, and none of them has ever crashed, i have played them both on 1.75 - 1.90 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bn880 5 Posted February 28, 2003 Okay Hovmand, did you use foreach _x to delete a whole group? And did you launch a script from the waypt or just write the command in the activation field? Anyway don't worry if you don't get errors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder how that sentence looks like taken out of the context. Sounds a bit like a slogan for Microsoft products Anyway, I tried using deleteVehicle on waypoints, too, and it never crashed.

bn880 5 Posted February 28, 2003 Except I don't make any money off OFP... so it's different than MS. I'm telling you though, if your deleteVehicle is fine for one vehicle in a waypt without using local variable space, run with it, it won't crash on other peoples machines either.

mr. Duck 0 Posted March 1, 2003 I forgot to say that Ofp crashed when I used it on a waypoint of an infantry unit. U have used the deletevehicle command with a trigger on vehicles and that caused no problems so far. I have yet to test it out on a vehicles waypoint though.
