Destroy created objekt...

Ok - have a question and hope anybody can help:1. I write a script to create an objectstring sObject = "plc_object";int nHour = GetTimeHour();if (nHour == 7){CreateObject (OBJECT_TYPE_PLACEABLE, sObject, GetLocation(GetWaypointByTag("wp_object")), TRUE);}2. So far so good. But now in a defined time i want destroy that objectobject oObject = GetObjectByTag("plc_object");int nHour = GetTimeHour();if (nHour == 19){DestroyObject(oObject);}with an existing object it doesnt work, because the most have no tag.when i create my own placeable i can define a tag (f.E.: plc_object).but doesnt work either.

Never even think of erasing posts, they're all valuable However, that millisecond-something script is very, very unstable: it works only on 19:xx:xx.000 hours - which might, even though there is 3600 of those in an hour, never happen: the script may fire on 19:01:12:998 and on 19:01:13:003, only a 5-millisecond gap, but enough to miss the 000 point.About the destroyed objects - you might either save the objects' references somewhere: SetLocalObject(GetModule(),"OBJECT_TO_DESTROY1",oObject);... or tag them when creating: CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_PLACEABLE,"template",GetLocation(...), TRUE, "delete_me"); // "delete_me" here is the new tag-- Sinus

@Ailinon the script may fire on 19:01:12:998 and on 19:01:13:003, only a 5-millisecond gap, but enough to miss the 000 point.

I set first the "GetTimeMinute()", but create thousands of objects :-\ When there is an other option, i get them grateful.I tested the script several times and every time it works. The "destroy-command" can destroy the whole houre, if it want But i know that every script slow down the game, so alternatives would be fine.

CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_PLACEABLE,"template",GetLocation(...), TRUE, "delete_me"); // "delete_me" here is the new tag

Thanks. i didnt know it works in this way...Edit: I have not only one object, there are several to create and destroy. only for info.

Well, to destroy more objects with a specified tag, use

object oObject;while ((oObject = GetObjectByTag("tag")) != OBJECT_INVALID)  // "as long as an object with 'tag' can be successfully found...  DestroyObject(oObject);  // kill it!

Warning, code typed 'by hand', untested. -- Sinus

@Ailinon Warning, code typed 'by hand', untested.

you are right, it doesnt work. Better is:while (GetIsObjectValid(oObject)){}Edit: Didnt work. Script create_obj, OID: 8000060c, Tag: , FEHLER: ZU VIELE ANWEISUNGEN. (Failure: Tu much orders.), Last Command Id: 68

You want to create an object one time at 7 and destroy it at 19:void main(){ if ((GetTimeHour()==7)&&(GetLocalInt(GetFirstPC(),"new_obj")==0)) { CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_PLACEABLE,"template_name",GetLocation(GetWaypointByTag("wp_object")),TRUE,"delete_me"); SetLocalInt(GetFirstPC(),"new_obj",1); } if ((GetTimeHour()==19)&&(GetLocalInt(GetFirstPC(),"new_obj")==1)) { DestroyObject(GetObjectByTag("delete_me")); SetLocalInt(GetFirstPC(),"new_obj",0); }}At least I've understood it in this way.But who calls this script? If you put it in OnEnter of the area and then enter at 8..... , you should modify to:if ((GetTimeHour()>6)&&(GetTimeHour()

@nandussovoid main(){

I've corrected my previous post: 19 instead of 8 If GetLocalInt doesn't work you can use GetDialogFlagValue and SetDialogFlagValue. But add the dialog flag into the file globaldlgflags.2da of your module.In the heartbeat should be fine, I don't suggest you to use the daily script of the objects for such things, I had some problems.Yes, each object needs a different tag.bye

thanks.

And what "doesn't work" in my hand-typed code? It certainly compiles, and it definitely does remove all objects matching the specified tag. If your objects are not tagged... then it can't be helped. Nandusso,> Yes, each object needs a different tag.Nope, it doesn't. If they all have the same tag, my code above will get rid of them. But if they have NO tags... then it's a problem.-- Sinus

 

[ralf1731]

It doesnt compile.

 

[nandusso]

@ AilinonYou are right boss!!! ;D I've never thought to contradict you... :-XI was thinking on creating the objects one by one giving them a different tag, to know exactly, after, what you are destroing. @RALF1731I'm curious: could you post your script?.. because if it doesn't compile the game shouldn't load it!bye

nono - my script compiles fine. my sound doesnt play, thats the big prob :I know, that i slowly stress the nervs, but it cost me so much time, and no solution
