Disappear!

[LAPD]

Hi :wave:

I'll make it short:

Well, i'm making a mission in Mokra Varta which is in Nogova.
There is a church there, and a tree stuck right next to it which blocks the view of the church.

Is there any way I can make this tree disappear?

Thanks

There is in fact a way as it is on Nogova - however it's best not to do this as the complications it may have upon your game and others who play the mission are rather unwanted and unecessary.
Why not use Kegety's addon and fabricate your own town customised to however you like by making it on another part of Nogo? Or if you're really handy give WrpEdit a go.

Hi

I think the only way you can make it dispear is through Wrpedt
and giving it a new name cos of the copyright or you could have it run over by a tank whilst you are moving towards the church from a distance and making usre that you dont see the tank run it over.... its up to you

Hi,

I had the same problem but it was easily fixed (for me anyway). All I did was put a gamelogic thing as close as I could to it in the editor, gave it a name (e.g. bush1) and put in a script:

_bush = nearestobject [getpos bush1 select 0, getpos bush1 select 1, getpos bush1 select 2];

_bush setdammage 1;

exit;

This should destroy it and flatten it, getting it out of the way.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for replaying so far

Well, I tried what Master Chief said and it didn't work.
I wrote:

_bush = nearestobject [getpos bush1 select 0, getpos bush1 select 1, getpos bush1 select 2];

_bush setdammage 1;

exit;


Then I saved it as RemoveTree.sqs. I entered the game, created Game Logic with the name of bush1 and set a trigger which as this "on activation" field:
[] exec "RemoveTree.sqs"

Nothing happend. The tree still there ...

Any suggestions will be welcome  

Thanks

You could use the Object ID instead of nearest object...

That would look something like this:

(object 110381) setdammage 1

I think 110381 is your tree... though I might be wrong. Click the show ID's button and zoom the map in to see all the Object ID's.

[LAPD]

Thanks Sui.

You were right, it's the right ID of the tree.
The three falled, and the view now is great.  
But one more thing, it there a way to actually make it disappear?

I mean, making it invisible ...

Thanks so far

I really need it ...  :'(

-------------------------------------------

I'd have to stick to what magic up there said, m8  :-\ Don't do it  

[Gameer_77]

I really hope that something is done about this in the patch, to return all the objects back to their positions.

It'd give mission makers greater freedom.

Indeed it would, _77, but it would take up some loading time I guess  
Like, if the game engine must locate & define EVERY dayum ID-num. missing ?!

...and then create a clone of that map.

( I dunno a fook about this but I assume it would slow down the loadup )

[Gameer_77]

I could imagine that they could have the co-ords of every building in a file (They may already have it in the Islands. I don't know about WRP) then when the user exits the game then OFP puts everything back into there place.

Yes, it probably would take more time, but still...  :-\

Or, OFP could take note of every Object moved during the game then put it back to normal. It does something like that anyway to setdammage them back to 0.

[LAPD]

I thought there might be a command for making it disappear ... well I guess there isn't.

I still didn't understand, what you mean by saying: "however it's best not to do this as the complications it may have upon your game and others who play the mission are rather unwanted and unecessary"?

What will happend to my game?
what will happend to others who play my mission?
Will it slow down the game?

This tree isn't a real pain, since it's a war time a tree falling might be good ... but I still prefer making it disappear.

Thanks again  

[Gameer_77]

If you try and move an object using the object command then it moves there permanently, well, until you restart OFP. That means if you moved a segment of the bridge on Nogova, then when you go back to the Mission Editor its not there either.

BIS?  :-\

[LAPD]

Well, then I guess there is no way making it disappear or invisible (maybe in future patch ... I hope).

Thanks everybody   (topic still isn't solved  :'( )
