Cleanup of dead players bodys

[MrSisterFister 4]

Hi Guys

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but does anyone know what i need to change to make a dead body and its loot despawn very fast like 30 seconds from them dying?

Again sorry if this cannot be answered here.

Mmm... Could you at least show us how to change this? :)

This is you MrSisterFister...

If you ask for help and then figure something out, maybe I don't know, uh, share that knowledge? 

if you won't, then don't bother asking for help.

Gave you the benefit of the doubt, you could've gone to sleep, who knows. But it's now been over 24 hours and you have not shared any information.

 

For those that still want to know, you would have to have to override the 'OnClientRespawnEvent' function in missionServer.c and just use 'GetGame().ObjectDelete( player )' where player is one of the parameters of the overridden function.

You can also check the CallLater function to get rid of the bodies after some time.

Where is missionServer.c located?

[Sentepu 7]

Check this video to get a proper mod installation.

 

Then you can unpbo the files in dta/scripts and get some examples over there, like missionServer.c and a bunch of other files.

Found the file- so what's the proper way to modify this function to change the time before despawn?

 

    void OnClientRespawnEvent(PlayerIdentity identity, PlayerBase player)
    {
        if(player)
        {
            if (player.IsUnconscious() || player.IsRestrained())
            {
                player.SetHealth("", "", 0.0);
            }
        }
    }

Thank you Jacob for pointing that out, but it doesn't work. Are you sure PlayerBase class represent the player "world object" ? Tried by both overriding the method in init.c and directly with unpacked scripts in missionServer.c.

yes it works in playerbase, but to be sure the body will be deleted (imagine he doesnt respawn and rage quit) i've done this cleanup into the `EEKilled` method

[Sentepu 7]

You can override on Inic.c, but you need to call this way:

override void OnClientRespawnEvent(PlayerIdentity identity, PlayerBase player)
	{
		// note: player is now killed in db right after the actual kill happens 
		/*if (GetHive() && player)
		{
			GetHive().CharacterKill(player);
		}*/
		if(player)
		{
			if (player.IsUnconscious() || player.IsRestrained())
			{
				// kill character
				player.SetHealth("", "", 0.0);
			}
		}
		
		// DELETE THE CORPSE AFTER RESPAWN
		GetGame().ObjectDelete(player);
		
	}

I know this thread is for making the bodies despawn really quickly, but how would I go about of making them despawn like an hour later?

@SilvioDoHOTS how to make sure that what was in the hands is also lost?

override void OnClientRespawnEvent(PlayerIdentity identity, PlayerBase player)
	{
		// note: player is now killed in db right after the actual kill happens 
		/*if (GetHive() && player)
		{
			GetHive().CharacterKill(player);
		}*/
		if(player)
		{
			if (player.IsUnconscious() || player.IsRestrained())
			{
				// kill character
				player.SetHealth("", "", 0.0);
			}
		}
		
		// DELETE THE CORPSE AFTER RESPAWN
		GetGame().ObjectDelete(player);
		
	}

Sorry never got any notifications of reply's, and i was busy creating my own server, i didn't even come back to look at post, them went on holiday! Also i have a real life... if you wanna know anything "Kill feeds", "Active Player Counts", "Kill Streaks",  "Dead Body Cleanup" etc PM me, or add me on steam (same username and icon) or Discord..

I also created a random death messages and suicides so its not just the same one all the time and added a kill streak to the end.

I created the Battle for Cherno PVP server and you will see most of the scripts in action there.

Don't want to hide info so just PM me if you need anything and ill make sure i look at this website once a day!
