deleting dead troops in op flash v.1.46

[roscoe]

is there a script to delete the dead in the standard op flash or do i have to buy resistance coz i cant find one such script or a copy of resistance anywhere  :'(

[dmakatra]

I dunno man, but buy resitance, it's absolutley worth it.

When was the deletevehicle command introduced?
I was reading the 1.3 unofficial command reference and couldn't see it in there.

Resistance is DEEPLY worth it, and pretty cheap these days.   It's not just all the new commands and the campaign but it opens up a whole new world of addons and user created missions.

deleteVehicle was added in version 1.34 according to the official command reference.

Well then I don't see any reason why deleting dead people wouldn't work in 1.46. If the ready-made scripts have some fancy stuff you can always try to modify them or even write your own deletion script, it shouldn't be too hard.

Yeah, but body deletion is best done with eventhandlers.

[roscoe]

no i cant do it still,  i tried! :'(  any ideas? or script snippets anyone can post?

In your init.sqs file create a global variable called soldiers:

soldiers=[]

Now, in your createunit script, add this after you create an entire group:

soldiers=soldiers + units _group

Now, create a new script called deletebodies.sqs (or whatever):

Code: [Select]

;deletebodies.sqs

#loop
~20

?count soldiers == 0:goto "loop"

_temp=[]

_i=0

#l1
_u=soldiers select _i

?!alive _u:_temp=_temp+[_u];deletevehicle _u

_i=_i+1
?_i<count soldiers:goto "l1"
 
soldiers=soldiers-_temp
goto "loop"
execute this script from your init.sqs file:

[] exec "deletebodies.sqs"

I haven't tested this so there is no guarantee, but give it shot.

Edit

Made a small change
