shezan74 11 Posted March 22, 2010 Hi all, i've a painful problem on my Island. I've placed a taxiway piece as an object to try, due the fact the piece itself was not working as a road type. Now i have 2 taxiways in the middle of my airport, visible on bulldozer (and with own proper ID) but invisible on Visitor3. The objects are Exportable, so the program will "see" them but they're not selectable and i cannot remove them from terrain. Removing the object from the whole map works, but the 2 pieces are still in place :( Any ideas? Everything accepted... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beton 2 Posted March 22, 2010 Sometimes closing and restarting visitor makes it visible in visitor. The other way may be the replace object menue.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shezan74 11 Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) nothing... i've tried everything... i just managed to subst the object with another one (smaller) by patching the source file. Now i'm trying to patch a V3 script (that correctly find, parse and export the objects on a text file) to DELETE them... but i can't manage to find how to delete the selected item... UPDATE: And I DID IT :) ---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ---------- Well. i've created (modified) an original V3 script to perform the unselectable object deletion. This script can delete everything you need from the map, despite the fact it's selectable or not due a bug.

beton 2 Posted March 23, 2010 wow... not tested yet but if that really works would be great. We might need some more dedicated people with scripting knowledge to make visitor better... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shezan74 11 Posted March 23, 2010 Use it carefully :) it solved my problem but can be further improved... the only trouble is to find informations on this language... i've tried by watching code and searching from other default scripts... Anyway i'm improving it to remove only the selected objects from a selected area (can be useful to remove a single type of tree from a mixed forest in a specified area) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Homer Johnston 0 Posted March 23, 2010 it has frustrated me for a very long time that BIS hasn't given us any documentation about Visitor scripting... not even a basic list of Visitor commands for us to figure out by trial and error :\ I think somewhere on the biki there is one member's "sandbox" who somehow found a list of all the commands, actually... using some debug method or something like that... can't remember who or where it was though.
