eraser script help
« on: 20 Feb 2005, 20:45:15 »
Hey..
I need some help from you OFP experts

I am working on a mission where a US air field is under a attack for an enemy force,
I want the attack to be endless but with the maximum amount of 63 groups ? .... Nahhh we want more enemies to kill !!  
so I made some of the groups respawn

But now I have a field with a lot of corpses and they are slowing down my computer.
so I found this script  called eraser.sqs

The scripts readme ---->
eraser.sqs by shark attack
in the init field of unit you want to delete type the following codes

this addeventhandler ["killed", {_this exec "erase.sqs"}]

Now how do I add an init in a script ?
the soldier i want to delete is called eastgroup1m1
so how would the init line look like in a script ?

Sorry for my bad English

Please help...

You are using createUnit, yes?   Check the example in the online comref in the Ed Depot.

yes I'm using createUnit  :)
so my guess would be ---------->

"unittype" createunit [getpos position, groupname, "unitname = this", "init", skill, "rank"]

example:

"SoldierW" createunit [getpos Respawnpoint1, westgroup1, "macguba ( :) ) = this", "this addeventhandler ["killed", {_this exec "erase.sqs"}]", 0.5, "Private"]

offcause with out the smilie  ;)
Correct me if I'm  wrong

 ;D

Nearly.  All the init stuff goes inside one string, with different bits separated by a semicolon ; as usual.    createUnit has no seperate field for name:  it just goes in the init line.   So you would have:-

"SoldierW" createunit [getpos Respawnpoint1, westgroup1, "macguba = this; this addeventhandler ["killed", {_this exec "erase.sqs"}]", 0.5, "Private"]

Might be the nested quotes in the init string; try:

"SoldierW" createunit [getpos Respawnpoint1, westgroup1, {macguba = this; this addeventhandler ["killed", {_this exec "erase.sqs"}]}, 0.5, "Private"]

Although "something" and {something} are supposed to be interchangeable, it's always better to put code strings in curly brackets because quotes around and in a string often conflict.

I say 'try' because I'm not able to!
