Dead bodies?
Can anyone give me advice on how to delete bodies? I've tried some scripts from ArmA1 but I can't get them to work in ArmA2

Re: Dead bodies?
You mean static bodies? Or bodies that you placed in the editor?

Re: Dead bodies?
Simple way to do it is to add a killed event handler to each unit.
Can change the sleep command to whatever timer you would like. This could potentially effect performance (not really sure) if you have a lot of units, or units that respawn (ie: over 200 instances of the EH). I doubt it would, but I haven't really tested that on a dedicated server with a high player count.Code:this addEventHandler ["killed", {sleep 600; deleteVehicle _this select 0;}];

Re: Dead bodies?
Given that bodies provide some measure of cover, I'm not sure why you would want to do this. It may not come up often but when it does...

Because of performance. In large missions with hundreds of AI, especially in those that dynamically spawns new AI when you get close to certain areas, you would want to ease the load on the server by removing corpses. Originally Posted by Uranium - 235

Re: Dead bodies?
if its done throught the ambient combat module, then make sure you include the garbage cleaner module, it deletes units after you are a certain distance away from the action.

Re: Dead bodies?
Hmm... okay. I was picturing something more along the lines of like, an 'anti-gore addon' where it deletes bodies as you kill them or something. Originally Posted by Inkompetent

Re: Dead bodies?
The F2 framwork template has a script for that.But you would have to use the rest of the template or edit the sqf for certain scripts you dont want.

Take a look at www ferstaberinde com/f2/en/index.php?title=Automatic_Body_Removal for more information. That page also tells you all the files you need, if you choose to selectively use parts of F2. Originally Posted by Smooov
