Destroy vehicle when empty

[ADuke 1]

OK guys,

I searched for how to do this and found some handy bits of sqf script to use but am having trouble with this script I am writing, this is my first time writing a script from scratch so please excuse any obvious mistakes I am making.

I just want my script to monitor the vehicle that I am executing it on, and when the vehicle is empty (crew == 0). Then I want the vehicle to be destroyed.

Here is my script....

if (!isServer) exitWith {};

_vehicle = _this select 0;
_run = true;

while {_run} do
{
if (count crew _vehicle == 0) then {_vehicle setDamage 1};

and here is how I execute it on the vehicle...

nul = [this] execVM "destroy.sqf"

I appreciate any help you could give me.

while {_run} do
{
 if ((count (crew _vehicle)) == 0) then

   _vehicle setDamage 1;

 };
};

 };
};

Awesome, worked perfectly, thanks a lot :)

Oh, it's recommended to add some sleeping in "while" loop, because currently it checks several times per second what is unnecesary heavy.

Better:

if (!isServer) exitWith {};

_vehicle = _this select 0;
_run = true;

while {_run} do
{
 if ((count (crew _vehicle)) == 0) then 
 {
   _vehicle setDamage 1;
   _run = false;
 };
 sleep 1;
};

Thank you for that sleep suggestion, cuts down on the resources. How might I add an or statement in this script so that it also executes when either the driver or gunner are dead?

Thanks,

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/driver

and parenthesis in "if" statement
