Hidebody function is what you want.

how do i use it ?

again m any thanx

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

hideBody _unitToRemoveWhenDead;

You don't have to worry about deleting it later. The body is automatically deleted by the engine after it's been hidden. Likely it's automatic once the unit is X meters below ground.

Well you could do like this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_unit = _this select 1

~100

hidebody _unit

exit

After 100 secs the body will sink into the ground.

How do you mean with action? There should be a hidebody action if you get close to the dead unit.

i dont  get  an  option to hide the body using hidebody ... it happens automatically

To clarify, you get the option to hide a body in your action menu if you're a special forces guy, not a regular.

If you want to add this ability to regulars, look into the addaction command.

thanx for clarifying

this AddEventHandler ["killed",{this addaction ["Hide Body", what here]}]

hidebody.sqs:

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

_body = _this select 0

_hider = _this select 1

_act = _this select 2

_body removeaction _act

_hider playMove "AmovPercMstpSrasWrflDnon_AinvPknlMstpSlayWrflDnon"

sleep 1

hideBody _body

With this the guy will kneel more or less like the sf do when hiding bodies.

thanx mate ... sorted !

The above code will give you the possibility to hide the body from 100 meters?

[HulkingUnicorn 0]

Hehe, you may have a point there Flat, but I don't think the actions show up until you're about 10 meters away

You can use this instead then:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_body = _this select 0

_hider = _this select 1

_act = _this select 2

?((_body distance _hider) > 1):goto "exit"

_body removeaction _act

_hider

playMove "AmovPercMstpSrasWrflDnon_AinvPknlMstpSlayWrflDnon"

sleep 1

hideBody _body

#exit

exit
