Mass Houdini - Bennick - 09-15-2011
I need to make a huge amount of stuff disappear, but is there anyway to do it without filling up notepad++ with object numbers towards the hundreds?
RE: Mass Houdini - Your Computer - 09-15-2011
I don't think SetEntityActive() supports wildcards, but you can verify that for me:
Code:
SetEntityActive("entity_name_*", false);Otherwise, the answer to your question is no.
RE: Mass Houdini - Obliviator27 - 09-15-2011
Yes, SetEntityActive works for such a thing. You'll just have to rename things in the editor so that the
SetEntityActive("debris_*, false);
matches up.
In case you didn't know, the * indicates that everything prefixed by "debris_" will be subject to this code.

So basically, If I rename every one of my book rows into "book_" then using "book_*" will make them all act as "one" deactivatable entity?
SetEntityActive("debris_*, false);
matches up.

If you have entities in your map, named
Book_1
Book_2
Book_3
When using Book_*, it will cause them all to be subject to your script.

Those book row entities are actually static ones so you cant set them to unactive.

RE: Mass Houdini - Khyrpa - 09-15-2011
No function can make those props to disappear. You'd have to create new entites from them that can be disabled with the model editor
