[Solved] Deleting an deactivated mine?

[fingolfin 1972]

Hello folks,

 

during a mission an IED named IED_O1E is placed via a trigger at the position of the game logic IED_01:

 

IED_O1E = "IEDLandSmall_Remote_Ammo" createVehicle [(getPos IED_01 select 0),(getPos IED_01 select 1), 0.0];

 

After the IED is deactivated by the player, I want to delete it via a trigger. Unfortunately

 

deleteVehicle IED_01E;

 

doesn’t work if the IED has been deactivated. For some reason, it works when the IED is active.

 

Does someone have an idea how I could address/delete the deactivated mine?

 

Best regards

Fingolfin

why not just createMine it? 

should work after that.

Thanks! I will try that too. So far I found a workaround by deleting all objects in a one meter radius around the game logic.

{deleteVehicle _x} forEach nearestObjects [IED_01, ["all"], 1];

If your workaround turns into your solution then i would change "all" to the class name "IEDLandSmall_Remote_Ammo"

This might work:

{if ((_x isKindOf "IEDLandSmall_Remote_Ammo") && (mineActive _x)) then {

deleteVehicle _x;} forEach allMines;

This doesn't work for some reason. It seems the mine somehow changes it's class name after being deactivated, because it works fine with the parameter "all".

They probably turn into groundweaponholder or similar.

if you diag_log the returning array of nearestObjects then you will get the correct classname.

maybe it is "IEDLandSmall_Remote_Mag"

Thanks, the class name is "GroundWeaponHolder". So, @Tankbuster was right.

Yey. I helped twice in one week! I'm going to have a lie down.
