Object.destroy

[spinter]

function Object.destroy(Object self)

 

how can I use the Object.destroy can you help?

I have to destroy a tank with the script!

sorry for my eng

Weapons, Units, Static Objects, Scenery Objects, and even airbases all inherit the functions of the "object" class. Therefore the following will work just fine.

 

Unit.getByName('whatever'):destroy()

You have to use world.searchObjects() to define a search zone and to search for world objects. world.searchObjects() calls another function for each object it finds, from there you can do whatever you want with each object. This will destroy all objects with the name "house1' within a defined search volume.

do
local ifFound = function(foundItem, val) -- generic search for all scenery
if foundItem:getTypeName() == 'house1' then
foundItem:destroy()
end

end

world.searchObjects(Object.Category.SCENERY, volume, ifFound)

end

I'm sorry but I do not understand how to pass volume

Volume is not specified good or I do not understand, as this variable step?

Sorry, I didn't include that bit as I simply paraphrased how the script works. Volume is just a variable you must define earlier. Check the wiki for the types of volumes you can do, but here his how you can create a spherical volume based on a trigger zone.

 

 local sphere = trigger.misc.getZone('zone')
 
 local newPoint = {x = sphere.point.x, y = land.getHeight({x = sphere.point.x, y = sphere.point.z}), z = sphere.point.z}
 local volS = {
 id = world.VolumeType.SPHERE,
	params = {
	 point = newPoint,
	 radius = sphere.radius
	}
	
 }

 

When you call the search you would use: world.searchObjects(Object.Category.SCENERY, volS, ifFound)

I know this is an old thread, but I was also trying to make a Static Object disappear, and this didn't work.

 

Weapons, Units, Static Objects, Scenery Objects, and even airbases all inherit the functions of the "object" class. Therefore the following will work just fine.

 

Unit.getByName('whatever'):destroy()

 

So, I wanted to post how I did get it to work...

 

 

StaticObject.getByName('Static F16 #001'):destroy();
