Spring RTS Engine

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?

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

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?

Oh, really???

<tests>

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

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!

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.

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 :)

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.
