Can't Delete Turrets

#1 When doing it via script (going into the mission file and deleting it, make sure you deleted correctly), teel us when it crahes (ex: loading datablocks, Objects, Lighting), also give us you console log. If the thing crashes at lighting, delete all the lighting files in the mission folder. Otherwise, send the console log.

#2 Do me a favor, delete a projectile object that has a long arming delay like 5-10 seconds after it has been active for a few seconds.


In my case, it works perfectly when done on a non-dedicated server, but when you do it on a dedicated server, the server crashes everytime.

If you experience this same problem, we may be able to help each other figure this out.

#3 Cameron, the last thing that hits my console log is "TurretData::OnRemove", which I see is just a function with that echoed, so I'll start hunting things down there I guess.

Gonzo, I can delete them on a non-dedicated server as well, on a dedicated server I'm sorry but you'll have to tell me how to do that. When I tab over to the console they seem to stop shooting until I tab back to the game?

*edit* I should point out that these are AI turrets, I haven't gotten to the mountable turrets yet.

#4 Has there been any progress on this? I added in the turrets to my current proejct and have a similar problem. I can delete them in the mission editor...but if I destroy them ingame they seem to destroy but there collision box is still in place. Been trying to track this down for a little while now. Anyone experience this problem?

#5 Isn't there a function to turn off collision for vehicles? I remember seeing something like this. I am assuming the turrets are vehicles however.

#6 Mark,

I think Robert has fixed some of the projectile issues.

Frank, there are enableCollision/disableCollision calls.

#7 Is there anyone who has solved the crash problem yet? Because I suffer from the same problem.

#8 Robert has been working on it. Have you tried the latest HEAD?

#9 I'm having the same problem aswell, and I'm running latest head.

#10 Is this with the AI Turrets or the regular turrets? I know I had a serious problem with the AI ones, but there is a script side error in the onRemove function.

In aiTurret.cs the onRemove function should look like this:

function AITurretData::onRemove(%this,%obj)
{
   // remove our trigger
   %trigger = %obj.getTrigger();
   if (isObject(%trigger))
   {
	   %trigger.delete();
   }
   Parent::onRemove(%this,%obj);
   echo("AITurretData::onRemove");
}

Hope this helps.

#11 Wow, quick response! Thanks alot, that did it!

#12 No problem
