Delete Dead bodies

[Bobcat26 0]

I'm having trouble getting any of these scripts to work in my mission

removedead.sqs

_unit = _this select 0

~90

deletevehicle (vehicle _unit)

exit

or

killed.sqs

_unit = _this select 0

~0+(random 10)

deleteVehicle _unit

exit

I made a trigger to activate this script

with this on the onactivation line

[] exec "removedead.sqs"

But I cant get them to work

any help would be greatly appreciated

Or a working remove dead bodies

Try this :

In the init line of an AI soldier put

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this addeventhandler [{killed} , {[this] exec {removedead.sqs}}]

and the removedead.sqs

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

_unit removealleventhandlers {killed}

~90

deletevehicle _unit

exit

By adding the eventhandler in the init line of the AI soldier, once this AI soldier is considered as "killed" by the game, it will launch the script that will remove its body 90 seconds after that (and will remove the eventhandler given to it, to avoid some possible script conflicts).

Thanks Sanctuary

I added that into the init line of the unit

But it only seems to work for a single unit

I tried it with five enemy units only one of them

would vanish ... same thing as a group

I was hoping to find a script that would delete all the dead guys from the map after they were killed

I have been using the old fashion method

using a trigger with the deletevehicle x1;deletevehicle x2

but thats a pain and quite messy

I've seen this method working in the DAC and some other mission along the way

with all these removedead scripts that were hard to find

why don't they function in this way

I'm baffled

I spent a couple days and searched for two hours today

and found more then enough posts of people asking the same question over and over

only to be told ...do a search ......its already been answered

but where..."?"

why not just answer the questions and save time and space

but I thank you Sanctuary for your fast reply

thanks again

anymore Ideas :-)

Mmmh i see, you haven't launched the script on all units.

just put a trigger covering the whole map, activated once by anybody, and type this in the "on activation" line :

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"_x addeventhandler [{killed},{_this exec {removedead.sqs}}]" foreach thislist

In my explanation, i thought it was clear that the deletion was valid only for the soldier that has the init line.

So if you wanted more soldiers to be deleted, you just had to add

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this addeventhandler [{killed} , {[this] exec {removedead.sqs}}]

in the init line of every soldiers you want to disappear once killed.

Or just use the global trigger from ProfTournesol that automatically add this init line to every soldier covered by it, but in that case be carefull so none of the soldiers you want to keep on the field is affected by the trigger.

thanks very much guys

Sanctuary

I did put that code in each guys init line

as a group and then individually

but only one unit would be deleted

the others with the same code never dissapeared

?

thanks again I will give it another go
