Ghosts and Bermuda Triangle Stuff

5./JG27.Farber · #1 04-01-2012, 11:14 AM

Late last night we were testing a new mission on our dedicated server. Our missions are modula, for example, we have spawns as one maps, ground objects as another which loads instantaneously, then air missions which load throughout the time the maps up for - Usually three of them. So anyway, we are waiting over one of the targets and nothing shows up... OK so we turn external views on. One of the air missions is set to load within two mins of the mission starting and it does.

So in external view I follow the bombers. I can see what I thought was the next flight in the distance, so I cycle through the blue air objects. I can get hold of them, then I notice they are comming back from england! The ones Im looking at are going to England! Its the same flight on the homeward leg! Then bamm the outward bound bombers fly into a warm hole and vanish! Then their future selves vanish aswell!

The same thing happens with the next bombers.

ok what makes aircraft vanish - The despawn script! We removed it and there were no ghosts and the bombers went on their merry way...

This actually took 4 hours!

Anyone else had simular things happen?

Yes i know this problem, best way to avoid this, is to store the Actors in a list (via OnActorCreator) and destroy the Actors with this list. Or to attach a landing Waypoint to the Aircraft and then destroy the Planes after landing.

Any chance for OnActorCreator list script example Pleas...
