    just put this in a script - name it -- clear_items
    _obj = _this select 0;    // object center point for radius.
_rad = _this select 1;  //  radius outwards from center point to clear items.

_clear = nearestObjects [_obj,["weaponholder"],_rad + 50];
for "_i" from 0 to count _clear - 1 do {
deleteVehicle (_clear select _i);
sleep 0.056;
};

    and call it with -- [obj_name, radius] execVM "clear_items.sqf"; example 

    [trig1,1000] execVM "clear_items.sqf";

    Or you could just do (and to make this generic for those without that item spawning script):

    while {true} do {

private ["_obj", "_rad"];
_obj = _this select 0;    // object center point for radius.
_rad = _this select 1;  //  radius outwards from center point to clear items.

_clear = nearestObjects [_obj,["weaponholder"],_rad + 50];
for "_i" from 0 to count _clear - 1 do {
deleteVehicle (_clear select _i);
sleep 0.056;
};

sleep 1800;
};

    If I take CAP out of the name could we still use it?

    No, the name of a server is a separate issue and irrelevant to CAP using ArmA2 software for training etc.

    The separate issue is you can't be applying their name on the server for reasons of trademark and implying that CAP and the US Air Force endorse such a server. Especially as a cadet member of CAP. Have National HQ contact Bohemia and see about special exemption from their EULA perhaps?

    Though in my opinion CAP could really use VPS2 for training for seniors IMHO, and it could be used for cadet aerospace education. So I think this is something that could get brought up with National HQ and see if they can get a dialog with Bohemia. I could see Bohemia offering either that exemption of the EULA for ArmA2 or a very fair rate for VBS2 just given CAP's unique situation of doing domestic search and rescue for the US Air Force and other civilian agencies as well as technically being a non-profit 501©3.

    We don't have a VBS2 license if you are talking about Military Gaming. MilGO is a non-profit organization that is not in anyway affiliated with any part of the government or Department of Defense agency/section. However Civil Air Patrol is a Auxiliary of the US Air Force that is also charted by the United States Congress, that's the difference. Training using the game would clearly be covering missions that are sanctioned and funded by the United States Air Force. I know this because I am a senior in CAP as well.

    The Air Force I don't believe has such a license so I don't know what to tell you. Someone much higher than the level of a cadet in CAP (maybe even National HQ) could see if Bohemia would make an exception to their EULA and allow the use of ArmA2/OA for official Civil Air Patrol training. What I mentioned earlier is what causes the violation of the EULA due to CAP's US military and government charted status.

    We have everything working fine on this latest update. However I highly recommend adding a setting (default to off) that will check for lobby for TS3 server/channel. Right now as it is it checks everyone including those in the lobby for the TS3 channel. Thanks and awesome work.

    P.S. I also sent you a fixed/update asc.xsl file which added in the lines from the new update, a few of the lines were messed up and I fixed those as well.

    Is ACRE affected by the same issue that makes it impossible for players using post-beta xxx communicate with those using pre-beta xxx or stable 1.62 (I can't recall the exact beta version which changed the port that VON works on)? Basically it means that I can hear players on VON but they can't hear me (if I'm using the latest beta and they're on the older one) and I had the same problem with ACRE last night.

    ACRE is completely independent from from VON and most servers disable VON when using ACRE on their servers.

    I can say that the primary reason here was to ensure that individuals were not getting the mission and using it ahead of doing a qualification test. This was done for Military Gaming and the OP happens to be a young lad who is a member of our Development Team.

    Yes people could crack it as Nou pointed out, however the majority of users out there would not even know where to start or would even consider taking the time. Even if they did the time they spend probably really wouldn't even be worth it since that in itself still does not actually get them a pass on the qualification.

    Thank you Green Beret for providing that. We noticed your island is now on SU so sickboy also signs it with his key, which will work but only for those who download it from SU. With your key however people with both can still get in.

    I do have one recommendation. Have a new key for each new major version of your island. There is a reason mods like ACE and what not have different keys per version and contain a revision or version number in the key. Ie esbekistan_v1_3.bikey

    Thanks again GreenBeret40. Military Gaming is now likely to host a big event this Sunday using this map.
