Cleanup Bikes Script

18 posts in this topic

Created a small script that runs once an hour to cleanup bikes that are abandoned if you are using the spawn bike script. Run the script server side, don't run it via mission.

while {true} do {
	uiSleep 3600;
	{		
		if ({alive _x} count crew _x == 0 && (typeOf _x) in ["Exile_Bike_MountainBike"]) then {
			deleteVehicle _x;
		};
	} forEach vehicles;
};

Some tips to improve it o.O

You should check if there are any nearby players, wouldn't want my bike removed when on a loot run. 

Even more advanced add event handlers that register when players mount or dismount from the bike so you can check if it has been inactive for more than a specific amount of time.

try this (drop it in the @ExileServer/addons folder). It runs every 5 minutes and deletes any bike that doesn't have a player within 100m of it (it's untested though so try it and see :) )

@second_coming My rpt threw this 

21:17:14 Warning Message: Script \x\addons\a3_exile_bikeDeleter\initServer.sqf not found

File path is correct and the initserver.sqf is in the pbo. Just not Reading it.

Any ideas?

};

WHY WHY WHY??? Exile has a beautiful thread system for a reason!

Run this in InitServer.sqf in your mission file.


Private ["_time"];

_time = 3600; //How often you want this to run (time in sec)

_function = {

{		
	_position = position _x; 
	if ((typeOf _x) in ["Exile_Bike_MountainBike","Exile_Bike_OldBike"]) then 
	{
		if([_position, 100] call ExileClient_util_world_isAlivePlayerInRange) exitwith {};
		deleteVehicle _x;
	};
} forEach vehicles;

};

[_time, _function, [], true] call ExileServer_system_thread_addTask;	

Thats just a quick example of your code run by exile in an efficient manner :)

ANd just pulled open the pbo linked and it does it the right way ;) top marks :P

So which should we use and is this something we should use if we are using the default bike spawn script?
