How to remove Units from Gameworld

[Argh]

This has been solved. Use LUA command via BOS-->LUA to execute the following command, to remove a Unit from the gameworld, without removing the default explosions or self-d effect:

Spring.DestroyUnit(u,false,true)

I would like a LUA command that removes a Unit, without self-d and all that pertains. I've found a work-around, but it's clunky, and not suitable for all situations. I'd rather have a nice, clean removal, where the Unit just quits existing in the gameworld.

LuaSyncedCtrl::GetUnitCOBValue
+
#define KILL_UNIT 102 // get KILL_UNIT(unitId, SelfDestruct=true, Reclaimed=false)

Why not mark it as reclaimed?

[lurker]

If you mean me, I just copied the line in cobinstance; those are the defaults.

[Argh]

Um, I just wrote the code as such:

get KILL_UNIT (MyId,1,1);

Where MyID is the value of get MY_ID. Spring reports a bad opcode 0.

I mean Argh could use Spring.DestroyUnit(unitID, 0, 1). Doesn't that make the unit just vanish?

[Argh]

Oh, really???

<tests>

[Argh]

Nope, doesn't work. Spring.DestroyUnit(u,0,1), where u == unitID, results in self-d.

[Argh]

Yay, solved.

Spring.DestroyUnit(u,false,true) results in the Unit disappearing, no explosion. I was thinking in BOS, which uses FALSE / 0 and TRUE / 1 interchangeably, oops

Thanks, guys, that really helped me with a thorny issue and removed about 20 lines of BOS and other trickery from PURE!

[quantum]

Oops as well

That took you people long enough to figure out, I've been doing that in KP Div0 already. BTW, get KILL_UNIT(0) kills the current unit.

[Argh]

Meh, I didn't know, otherwise I'd have used it already. Problem's solved and documented now

What kind of weapon/unit you pretend to use that evaporization on? Just curious :)

[rattle]

SelfDestruct = false => don't fire self-d weapon
Reclaimed = true => leave no corspe
Thus unit simply disappears.

Doesn't make a difference if you do it with Lua or the COB code function as they call the same method.
