SCENERY REMOVE OBJECTS ZONE and dedicated server

[Mauritz]

So using the trigger action to remove sceneryobjects works fine single, hosted muiltiplayer, but not in the dedicated enviroment. Tested a few variations of trigger conditions, but to no avail.

 

Tried working around it with scripting to destroy the objects but I am unable to capture the concrete dividers that plague syrian roads with world.searchObjects.

 

So steps to reproduce:
1. Make a mission with remove scenery objects in triggers

2. Test mission from ME, watch objects disappear

3. Host mission from client, watch objects disappear

4. Run mission on dedicated server, get offended by the existence of scenery objects

 

Possible workaround:

Put invisible Farps next to every object or tree you want to remove

syria-roadbase_RB-15.miz

I gave up on scenery destruction.

 

We need a war torn layer on these maps that can be triggered in the ME like a season is on caucasus. I've requested that in the syria map thread.

It needs to be done in code, for example, I get rid of all of the sand style shelters at airfields on Syria at mission start because they cause a nightmare of problems for real life sized aircraft. It's actually quite simple, I don't mind sharing how I do that so you get the jist....

 

local function deleteHangers(zone_name)    
	local zoneObject = ZONE:FindByName(zone_name)
	local sphere = {point=zoneObject.Zone.point,radius=zoneObject.Zone.radius}
	local volS = {
			id = world.VolumeType.SPHERE,
			params =
			{
					point = sphere.point,
					radius = sphere.radius*0.9,
			},
	}
	local ifFound = function(foundItem, v)
		if string.sub(foundItem:getTypeName(),1,5)=='HANGA' then
			foundItem:destroy()
		end
	end
	world.searchObjects(5, volS, ifFound)
end

if jsbFM.PHN() == '_PHS' then
	deleteHangers("Save_PAL")
	deleteHangers("Save_TAB")
	deleteHangers("Save_ALQ")
	deleteHangers("Save_REN")
	deleteHangers("Save_HAM")
end

Thank you for your input, Pravus

That looks a lot like the scripts floating around, on the hoggit wiki for example. Tried those, captures buildings alright, doesn't grab the dividers, safety rails, walls, and lamp posts etc. Here I'll include a picture of the results of running a version of your script that just :destroy() everything it finds. As you can see it removes the buildings, but not the things I'm actually looking to get rid off.

If I try to capture their deaths i get

That's using the :getDesc() so the categories don't really match up, the hummer is a unit and the m818 is a static for instance.

The scenery objects are nameless, of course, I'm at a loss exaclt how the trigger action "Object Scenery Remove" actually works to catch those objects, since it is able to remove them.

 

I assume I can pull some more info from the raw object table that might help narrow it down. Anyone got any further ideas?

but im using a string condition to match the hangers.. It's not copied from anywhere it's the standard search functionality of the SSE and how ED expects a search opbject param to work and look. If you want to get specific buildings then find specific names and use the string.sub as I did to isolate.

I'm not using a string condition, I'm deleting everything it finds, and it's not finding those objects, in any category.

 

Here's a before picture in case it wasn't clear
