Howto delete your dead body after respawn?

[jw custom 56]

I tried doing it from a "killed" eventhandler and from a script with

_unit = _this select 0;

WaitUntil{not alive player};

deleteVehicle _unit;

But it doesn't work!

Would also be nice if all gear would get deleted.

Remove the not from the second line and it should hopefully delete the corpse after the player respawns.

The killed EH triggered because the unit was killed, you should not wait until a dead unit is dead, unless you have alot of time..

I tried these things seperately not combined.

If i have this...

_unit = _this select 0;

WaitUntil{alive player};

deleteVehicle _unit;

...in a script the deleteVehicle line will get execute while player is alive!

I can't seem to delete the body but i can move it and delete it's weapons and thats good enough for me as i can move it to a remote place where i can do a nearestObject thing i think.

to the init of the unit

this addEventHandler ['killed', {(_this select 0) execVM 'removeBody.sqf'}];

create a text file "removeBody.sqf" in the mission's folder...

sleep 30;
hideBody _this;  //or hideBody _this select 0;
sleep 10;
deleteVehicle _this;

edit..strangely hidebody animation does not show unless its sleep 30 ...

Thanks that worked fine :)

I see you changed sleep 20 to sleep 30. So i guess that the trick is to give the body a little time then hide it and then delete it!

The default spawn time is ~30 seconds and you cannot delete the player.

With 20+10 seconds sleep the player probably still had control of the old body when the delete was attempted.

Much better solution than sleep is waitUntil {alive player}; in this case. It makes it independent on mission's respawn time.

waitUntil {alive player} //Wait for player to respawn
hideBody _this;
sleep 10;
deleteVehicle _this;

It might be also possible that hideBody automatically deletes the body after sinking it too. Worth testing :)

Thanks for the input. Now i see what heatseeker was talking about :)

I assume this does not remove the AI ... only players then

True, but that fine as the AI doesn't respawn and keeps throwing bodies around :p

How about this? :D

if (isPlayer _this) then
{
waitUntil {alive player} //Wait for player to respawn
hideBody _this;
sleep 10;
deleteVehicle _this;
}
else
{
sleep 30;
hideBody _this;
sleep 10;
deleteVehicle _this;
};

Nice :cool: but in this case i would like bodies from permanent dead units to stay :)
