Deleting corpses but leaving ammo

[Harkonin 0]

K I've got a script thats titled delete.sqf but its actually a script. The goal of this script is to delete dead units but leave their weapons. Now heres the problem, it works in SP but in MP its only working Server side. I.E. - you see ammo on the map but when you get there its empty space.Much thanks if anyone can help me execute this client side.

Heres the script -

_Deadguy = _this select 0

_mags = magazines _Deadguy

_guns = weapons _Deadguy

_magcount = count magazines _corpse

_guncount = count weapons _corpse

@ delete

~100

? (getDammage _Deadguy <= 0) : exit

_wpnh = "weaponholder" createVehicle [(getPos _Deadguy select 0) - 2 + (random 2*2),(getPos _Deadguy select 1) - 2 + (random 2*2),0]

_c = 0

while "_c <= (_magcount - 1)" do {_wpnh addmagazineCargo [format ["%1",(_mags select _c)],1]; _c = _c + 1}

_c = 0

while "_c <= (_guncount - 1)" do {_wpnh addweaponCargo [format ["%1",(_guns select _c)],1]; _c = _c + 1}

deleteVehicle _Deadguy

exit

hmmmm....

So,

You're deleting the soldier, then creating in his place magazines, right

[raedor 8]

i think you make this with killed EH, right?

then read this (official comref):

Quote[/b] ]MP notes: "Killed" and "Hit" event handlers are executed where given unit is local.

and when is delete true?

[raedor 8]

first script (opened with killed EH):<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">#start

? ! isNull deadMan: goTo "else"

deadMan = _this select 0

publicVariable "deadMan"

exit

#else

~random 1

goTo "start"

second script (opened in init.sqs):<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">#start

~1

? isNull deadMan: goTo "start"

deadMan exec "script3.sqs"

deadMan = objNull

publicVariable "deadMan"

goTo "start"

third script:<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

_deadguy = _this

_mags = magazines _Deadguy

_guns = weapons _Deadguy

_magcount = count magazines _deadguy

_guncount = count weapons _deadguy

~100

? (getDammage _Deadguy < 0.95): exit

_wpnh = "weaponholder" createVehicle [(getPos _Deadguy select 0) - 2 + (random 2*2),(getPos _Deadguy select 1) - 2 + (random 2*2),0]

_c = 0

while "_c <= (_magcount - 1)" do {_wpnh addmagazineCargo [format ["%1",(_mags select _c)],1]; _c = _c + 1}

_c = 0

while "_c <= (_guncount - 1)" do {_wpnh addweaponCargo [format ["%1",(_guns select _c)],1]; _c = _c + 1}

? ! local _deadguy: exit

deleteVehicle _Deadguy

exit

this line in init.sqs (additionaly to the opening of the second script):<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">deadMan = objNull

not tested...

[bmgarcangel 0]

man oh man.

I hate very advanced looking scripts.

In reality, it looks pretty good man. Going to try it out right now, even though......I didn't ask for it hehe

Delete is the condition of when the action takes place.

@delete means whenever delete = true to execute.

[raedor 8]

k, then put the<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">@deleteline in the third script, before ~100.

does this work like you want?

[Harkonin 0]

No the original script was fine the only problemis executing globally.

You've got the right idea but the first two scripts are a waste of cpu cycles that continuously loop.

And with this format its still not global.

Wheres Killswitch when you need him?

Got a nice bottle of Dalwhinnie here...........

You probably knew this, but....

addweaponcargo and addmagazinecargo are local only

IF you can publicVariable an array of integers that represent items... i.e make a table:

0=M16

1=AK47

2=AK74

etc...

and publicVariable an array such as weapons=[1,2,3,4,5]

you are set

The only other way is to maybe capture "magazines _DeadGuy" on each machine before you delete the body, but I am not sure if that will return anything if the units aren't local to the machine.....

This is a tough one....

[RED 0]

You could use the CoC network service to transmit the string names of each weapon to all clients.

RED

[raedor 8]

you cant publicvariable arrays...

the second script is global, cos it's opened in init.sqs. and you have only one loop, and that's in this second script...

maybe "weapons" and "magazines" does not work, when the corpse is not local. then you'd have to make 4 more variables to give kind of weapons, number of weapons, kind of ammo and number of ammo to the clients.

[RED 0]

You can public variable arrays with the CoC network service

RED

[raedor 8]

oh yes, this looks good. but 4 new variables will work properly, too.

[crashdome 3]

you cant publicvariable arrays...

you're right.. sorry, I've been using CoC_NS for too long....

[raedor 8]

hehe, in germany nobody writes NS as a short form for a longer word: this means Nationalsozialismus...

Hmm... would this do it:

;

; ammosprinkler.sqs

;

;

;

; Or, to prevent the deletion of the dead corpse (possibly due to having some

;

; [unit, false] exec "ammosprinkler.sqs"

;

; Some constants. Edit them to your liking

; Name of this script. If you choose to rename it, change _THISSCRIPT

; to the same name. Default: "ammosprinkler.sqs"

_THISSCRIPT = "ammosprinkler.sqs"

; How long before the corpse is removed and the ammo is created where it was

_REMOVEDELAY = 100

; The "wait until unit is dead"-loop delay

_DEADDELAY = 1

; The "search for a WeaponHolder" loop delay and search timeout

_SEARCHDELAY = 1

_SEARCHTIMEOUT = 20

exit

That contraption monitors units both locally and everywhere else. When unit dies, it sleeps for _REMOVEDELAY seconds and then replaces the corpse with a WeaponHolder and fills it with the weapons and magazines the deceased had at the time of his demise.

I have only briefly tested it by starting both a dedicated server and a client on my computer. This means that the script hasn't been properly tested under adverse conditions, i.e. with network delays and all that real life stuff that scripts succumb to.

NB: If a new guy respawns, he needs to have that script attached to him again, both remotely and locally. How to do that is left as an exercise...

Ok, pick it apart, bash it, abuse it and see if you can make it suit your needs.

Peace, out!

CHEERS!

[Chill 0]

How can you make a trigger that deletes all the dead bodies inside a trigger area?

[Harkonin 0]

easy

[Chill 0]

Ok!! do you type "easy" into the activation field? lol

[Harkonin 0]

no you type
