Sea Shelf Object despawn

[Jagohu]

Hi all,

 

I've been playing around with this and I managed to spawn Sea Shelf Objects, but destroying them doesn't seem to work properly: it just removes their label from the map, and that's pretty much all I can see that happens.

 

These "Static objects" seem to be handled as units(Helipad) not as static objects , so they're "destroyed" by

Unit.getByName('Static Oil rig-3'):destroy()

 

 

                          [22] = 
                           {
                               ["heading"] = 0,
                               ["route"] =

Static Objects/Structures/Oil Platform is a different story.

 

Does anyone know how to actually remove them from the scenery? They keep sitting there and they still exist on the map too, although without a label:

Another weird one, when hitting an oil rig with a couple of MK84s. Error message, then it says the rig is destroyed, but yet it stays there and doesn't disappear from the map either.

Found this in the \DCSWorld\CoreMods\tech\TechWeaponPack\Database\db_ground_objects.lua

 

add_structure({
Name 		 =  "Oil rig",
DisplayName  = _("Oil rig"),
ShapeName	 =   "oil_platform",
Life		 =  2500,
Rate		 =  100,
category     =  'Heliport',
subCategory	 =  'SeaShelfObject', -- only for ME
SeaObject    = 	true,
isPutToWater =  true,
positioning  = 	"NO",
classname    =  "lOilPlatform",
numParking   =  1,
})


add_structure({
Name 		 =  "Gas platform",
DisplayName  = _("Gas platform"),
ShapeName	 =   "gas_platform",
Life		 =  2500,
Rate		 =  100,
category     =  'Heliport',
subCategory	 =  'SeaShelfObject', -- only for ME
SeaObject    = 	true,
isPutToWater =  true,
positioning  = 	"NO",
classname    =  "lGasPlatform",
numParking   =  1,
})

I believe it is classed similar to a FARP object and therefore doesn't despawn like normal objects can.

Too bad, I hope it'll change.

It seems like these Oil and Gas platforms eat up a lot of memory/cpu power when they're used in numbers close to reality in the PG area, at least my experience starts becoming choppy here and there even if they're out of sight.
