Removing objects when a player activates a button…

Thread By: XxRaPiDK3LLERxX

Hey, everyone!

I want to add a button in my map (Which I did) which removes object when it's activated by the player. The whole point of this is because my map tbh isn't really optimised due to so many duplicates of grass which I managed to lower down.

But then I noticed that trees are eating some chunk of FPS and judging from other people's video of the map, they getting terrible performance.

Thanks!

In script:

in your main function, paste this:

//Delete Models
level thread model_delete();



Then at the bottom of the yourmapname.GSC paste this:

function delete_models()
{
	models = GetEntArray( "delete_model", "targetname");
	trig = GetEnt( "button", "targetname");
	trig SetHintString( "Press and Hold [use] to delete models (helps FPS)" )
	trig waittill( "trigger", player);
	trig Delete();
	models Delete();
}



I personally have barely had any experience with arrays, and I haven't tested this script, so if this doesn't work, tell me.

Now in radiant:

1. select all the models you want to delete and make them script_models.

2. Give all the models the KVP: Targetname: delete_model

3. select or create a trigger_use over the "button" and give it the KVP: Targetname: button

4. Compile and link your map.

also feel free to change the hintstring in the second part of the script.

Thanks for the script and the instructions! This error appear which I have no clue how to solve :|

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately this comes up:

**** 1 script error(s):

"model_delete" with 0 parameters in "scripts/zm/zm_115_experiment_factory.gsc" at line 77 ****

**** Unresolved external "model_delete" with 0 parameters in "scripts/zm/zm_115_experiment_factory.gsc" ****

So I had to replace level thread model_delete(); with level thread delete_models();

So I tried this in-game, however, the hint string does not appear, and when you actually press the button to activate it, it does nothing.

Edit:

Now the hintstring works but when I use it, the tree does not get deleted.

That is because he treated an array of entities like an entity. This is how I would modify his code for a better result: 

function delete_models()
{
	models = GetEntArray( "delete_model", "targetname");
	trig = GetEnt( "button", "targetname");
	trig SetHintString( "Press and Hold ^3&&1^7 to delete models (helps FPS)" ); 
	trig waittill( "trigger", player);
	trig Delete();
	foreach( model in models )
		model Delete();

alternatively you can use a normal for loop. foreach can not always replace a normal for, but it is rare that you would need to use a normal for. Nice work though!
