How to delete a road

[ViktorReznov]

seriously, ive gone through hell to extract a classname on a road. Selecting the road as an object is done so theoretically, deleting it with deletevehicle should do it no? well it doesnt and im trying to figure out how to make it happen.

heres the (blown apart with diag_logs) code that will return the classname of road

updated to fix whitespaces in the name as well asf1_7 100 into MAP_asf1_7_100

_player = player; //define player
diag_log format["[Roads][Vars] Testing each var individually!!! _player = %1",_player];
_pos = getPos player; //get players position
diag_log format["[Roads][Vars] Testing each var individually!!! _pos = %1",_pos];
_posOnRoad = isOnRoad _pos; //bool if player pos is on road
diag_log format["[Roads][Vars] Testing each var individually!!! _posOnRoad = %1",_posOnRoad];
_roads = _pos nearRoads 25; //return array of roads within 10m of player
diag_log format["[Roads][Vars] Testing each var individually!!! _roads = %1",_roads];
_roads2 = (_roads select 0); //return road object from array
diag_log format["[Roads][Vars] Testing each var individually!!! _roads2 = %1",_roads2];
_roads3 = (str(_roads select 0)); //convert object to string to cut it down to class name
diag_log format["[Roads][Vars] Testing each var individually!!! _roads3 = %1",_roads3];
_roads4 = []; //empty container for preConversion name
diag_log format["[Roads][Vars] Testing each var individually!!! _roads4 = %1",_roads4];
_roads4 = _roads4 + toArray(_roads3); //load container with name converted to numbers
diag_log format["[Roads][Vars] Testing each var individually!!! _roads4 = %1",_roads4];
_roads5 = []; //empty container for postConversion name
diag_log format["[Roads][Vars] Testing each var individually!!! _roads5 = %1",_roads5];
_start = (_roads4 find 32); //selecting numeral for whitespace, with road will be space right before obj classname
diag_log format["[Roads][Vars] Testing each var individually!!! _start = %1",_start];
_end = (_roads4 find 46); //selecting numeral for period after classname
diag_log format["[Roads][Vars] Testing each var individually!!! _end = %1",_end];
_roadFound = ((count _roads) != 0); //bool for if road array is not empty
diag_log format["[Roads][Vars] Testing each var individually!!! _roadFound = %1",_roadFound];
//_roadSpace = nearestObject _roads;
//diag_log format["[Roads][Vars] Testing each var individually!!! _roadSpace = %1",_roadSpace];

for "_i" from ((_start)+1) to ((_end)-1) do { //begin loop after whitespace and end before period need to change 32 into 95
  _whiteSpace = 32; //code for whitespace
  _sel = _roads4 select _i; //container for comparing whats in it
  if (_sel == _whiteSpace) then {
    _roads5 = _roads5 + [95];
     diag_log format["[Roads][Vars] Testing each var individually, 42 to 95 convert!!! _roads5 = %1",_roads5];
  } else {
    _roads5 = _roads5 + [_roads4 select _i]; //load our select numerals into new array for conversion
    diag_log format["[Roads][Vars] Testing each var individually!!! _roads5 = %1",_roads5];
  };
};

_roads6 = toString(_roads5); //our converted classname of road
diag_log format["[Roads][Vars] Testing each var individually!!! _roads6 = %1",_roads6];
_roads7 = str(_roads6); //our converted classname of road
diag_log format["[Roads][Vars] Testing each var individually!!! _roads7 = %1",_roads7];
_roads8 = _roads6; 
diag_log format["[Roads][Vars] Testing each var individually!!! _roads8 = %1",_roads8];
_roads9 = "MAP_" + _roads8; //our converted classname of road concentated with MAP_
diag_log format["[Roads][Vars] Testing each var individually!!! _roads9 = %1",_roads9];
_roadParts = getArray(missionConfigFile >> "Custom_Buildables" >> "Buildables" >> "RoadsAsphalt1" >> _roads9 >> "requiredmaterials");
diag_log format["[Roads][Vars] Testing each var individually!!! _roadParts = %1",_roadParts];

_objectID = _roads2 getVariable ["ObjectID","0"];
diag_log format["[Roads][Vars] Testing each var individually!!! _objectID = %1",_objectID];
_objectUID = _roads2 getVariable ["ObjectUID","0"];
diag_log format["[Roads][Vars] Testing each var individually!!! _objectUID = %1",_objectUID];
_typeOf = _roads9;
diag_log format["[Roads][Vars] Testing each var individually!!! _typeOf = %1",_typeOf];

if ((_posOnRoad) && (_roadFound)) then { //trying to delete the MFFER
  PVDZ_obj_Destroy = [_objectID,_objectUID,player,_typeOf];
  publicVariableServer "PVDZ_obj_Destroy";

  deleteVehicle _roads2;
  diag_log ("[Roads][Deletion] Did it delete?");
};

and this is the diagLogs produced, if you check _roads8 it indeed has produced a classname (intended for use elsewhere, the obj container _roads2 should still delete with deletevehicle no?)

Now that road is a road that was generated by the map, if I attempt to use this on a road I created with script, im unable to (currently) track it down, ill get a postive on the isOnRoad function but cannot find the road as an object

@ViktorReznov

not sure if works with roads.. but try execute this one at bottom of init.sqf

execVM "remove_roads.sqf";

remove_roads.sqf

Spoiler

_target = [0,0,0];//change by your coords
_damage_ratio=150;


_server_roads= _target nearObjects ["Roads ids here", _damage_ratio];
{deletevehicle _x } forEach _server_roads;

 

 

also take a look here

  Hide contents

yes, one of my variables uses nearRoads, will try the function you suggest and get back to you!

[juandayz]

@ViktorReznov you also can try with hideobject command

_target = [0,0,0];//change by your coords
_damage_ratio=150;

_list = (position _target) nearRoads 50;
_server_roads= _target nearObjects ["Roads ids here", _damage_ratio];
{hideObject _x } forEach _server_roads;

my test script up there I wrote it to also remove the .p3d at the end of the string array, I havent been able to find too much information on what exactly that all means. Is it required in order to delete an object?

reference post I found with someone doing a similar function (a lot cleaner and nicer looking mind you) but seems to be old as dirt

i use this code in Z-IMS to get nearest forests-trees to make pee/poop see:

//////////////////////////////////FROM HERE
_findNearestTree = [];
{
	if (("" == typeOf _x) && {alive _x}) then {
		_objName = _x call fn_getModelName;
		// Exit since we found a tree
		if (_objName in dayz_trees) exitWith { _findNearestTree set [count _findNearestTree,_x]; };
	};
} count nearestObjects [getPosATL player, [], 20];


if (count _findNearestTree > 0) then {
	_tree = _findNearestTree select 0;
	_distance2d = [player, _tree] call BIS_fnc_distance2D;	
if (_distance2d < 5) exitWith {

//////////////////////TO HERE/////////////////////
                    
if (needpiss) then {
[player, "fillwater", 0, false, 5] call dayz_zombieSpeak;
player removeAction s_player_makepiss;
s_player_makepiss = -1;
needpiss = false;
};

if (needpoo) then {

I DID IT!!! I thank you @Juandayz for all the help you have always been! I have successfully been able to detect/select/transform/draw config/ select if Map road or user created road and then delete it!

[juandayz]

@ViktorReznov nice , sounds like your working in The Pavers mod.   good luck!

Pavers mod? Neg not tracking that. A custom version of alchemy to improve and enhance it

DAm! i wanna see players working on new roads being whipped.

ohh, dont you worry mate. This function has been added due to the possibiliteis of another mod already out and largely popular... im very close to being complete with these new set of scripts and am attempting to collaborate with the author. Bases with raods/airfileds/tracks are very near and upcoming feature!

[ViktorReznov]

The road deletion script is now complete. It will in fact only detect player spawned roads, not map spawned roads so this is good. Waiting on a response from some friends and will be released soon, one way or another. Road/runway/bridge construction is here. Also comes with ownership access so no random ppl removing your roads or vice versa
