need help with this script
« on: 07 Jun 2003, 04:57:46 »
i have this MP mission that I making and I want to use a script to delete death bodies and vehicles but the script that I download from the script section doesn't work at all.
one goes like this:
                             clearcorpse.sqs

#loop
_eunit = list EVERYUNIT
"?(!alive _x):[_x] exec {delbody.sqs} foreach _eunit
goto "loop"
exit

and the next:
                     delbody.sqs

_u = _this select 0
~60
_u setpos [0,0,99999]
deletevehicle _u
exit

then in the init field of the init or in the init sqs file you suppost to write this code:"[] exec {clearcorpse.sqs}"

but the code doesn't work nither in the init field or in the init sqs file or i'm doing something wrong :hmm:

if you can make this script to work can you show mw the changes you make and attach me a little sample mission? :help:

and once againg thank you for your time :)

That looks like the lag eliminator script that's on this site somewhere.  Correct?

I haven't used it before, but my guess is that you need to create a trigger with an area that covers the entire map.  Name this trigger EVERYUNIT, and have it check for the presence of anyone.

That should get your script to work.

OK, why don't you test the scripts one by one?

1. Create your player and name it "mychar", thne create a soldier that you want to kill and test your script.

2. in the init field of the to be killed soldier, write down "this addEventHandler ["killed", {_this exec "delbody.sqs"}]"

3. Put a debug message below the "_u = _this select 0" in delbody.sqs something like:
"mychar globalChat "delbody.sqs got called";
mychar globalChat format ["%1 got killed", _u];"

4. if you recieve a message, and the guy who got killed is the guy you killed then it means that it got called and the "_u" variable is correct.

5. If the soldier doesn't die, change the ~60 to ~2 or simply delete the whole line to see if it's the time delay that's causing the problem.

btw, "_u setpos [0,0,99999]" doesn't help you at all, it dosn't reduce the lag or cpu load if not increase it, so I suggest you to remove it.

Once you're sure this script works, keep the debug message and I can show you how to test the other script.

I can't test your script where I am (since I don't have OFP installed at work) so I can only give you advice :).

You could try this script...

It seems that the script removes dead bodies randomly, missing some and removing others. Don't know why...
Give it a try if you want!
