tandwan 250 Posted April 22, 2019 So we currently used the information found on the web to reset all the vehicle spawns to have them out of the ground. I implemented this with not too much hassle but I am looking for a way to wipe ALL current vehicles from the map so they can respawn. Is this possible or so I have to completely wipe persistence to make it happen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think if you set the status of the vehicles to wrecked they will despawn as soon as no one is around them [ /disabled/ruined/ = ?? = sorry I don't know the script term for a destroyed car ] Edited April 22, 2019 by pilgrim* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't find it and i've looked for about an entire day now. sorry @tandwan I don't have an answer to that, I don't have files with me and I have also never looked at vehicles. (I'm not a fan of vehicles.. ) However, another suggestion, that might be easier - if you give each vehicle a location on the debug plain - meaning change it's current location coordinates to some place you choose outside the play map (what the hell, put them all in the same place) - then any vehicles located there will despawn quickly - like any object left on the debug plain - and then respawn in a random location inside the play map. So - can you locate your current in-game vehicle coordinates ? I will see if I can find where the vehicle coordinates are , or the vehicle state. Can't promise anything : all I'm doing now is asking around at places like github.com If @ImpulZ had the time I guess he could point you right to it. Or another Modder will pick up on this thread ??. Seems to me a useful thing to know. this might give you a lead: https://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/9yujci/any_way_to_adjust_vehicle_spawn_rates_on_a/ & https://steamcommunity.com/app/221100/discussions/0/1752358461528882898/ Edited April 22, 2019 by pilgrim* ~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can do that with events.xml-> vehicle -> Set <active>0</active> and restart server. All vehicle with that class will be removed. 2-nd don't touch bin files. That action can cause wipe of hive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

( [steamcommunity] where the server owner couldn't spawn cars because he'd set their spawn to zero ) But @tandwan was happy with the @Sy8282 solution, so I left it there. xml are generally easier/safer to mess with Myself, (just out of my own interest) I was thinking along lines to to make vehicles go away without restarting the server at all ?

I guess you need create a script which will fetch all vehicles array on map and set dmg. I guess there's a way to get array of vehicles. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
