Destroying Cars

[Zeifer]

Hi guys when using the destroy car commands, does it destroy ALL cars including the ones players own that are locked?

or doe it just destroy the cars that are spawned and not claimed

#destroyvehicle asks for a id for that specific vehicle

#destroyallvehicles please will wipe every vehicle on the map owned or unowned it will not matter.

All vehicles means all vehicles the whole entire map from the ragers to the wheelbarrows!

Zeifer, CrankyOldMan,

One of the earliest admin commands I ever used was "#destroyallvehicles please"... ...never underestimate the power of this command or get it confused with "#destroyvehicle XXXXXX". Some time ago, maybe a week after the server came online, I was the only member of my squad in game and my intent was to destroy a spawned vehicle inside of our first admin base (keeping things tidy, after all). My squad mates were not amused when they logged in later to find both airplanes they had successfully looted from the airfields (as well as a Rager they had reconstructed), uhm, missing. I never lived that one down and it still comes up from time to time.

I think I have learned a lot since back then but I still manage to mess things up sometimes!

A while back during .8 there was a bug in the command.

A squad flipped their wolfs and they could not get it to flip back over. I also trying everything even using another ride could not flip it back on it's wheels.
So I spawned them a new ride and had them transfer all their gear and asked them to leave the area so I could delete the old ride.

Well as I was scrolling through the admins command to destroy that ride the server lagged and the scroll went to #DestroyAllVehicles only the bug was it no longer required the Please.

So the command went #DestroyAllVehicles and that vehicle ID and the command went through.

13 players online at that time lost all their rides and 37 players in total.

It was a headache I never ever want to have again!

Hi CrankyOldMan,

I am going to put you in for consideration to become an "Honorary Canadian" if you keep posting replies where you openly admit to doing something silly.

Hey there OP, as Cranky mentioned you can either destroy all vehicles or a specific one. If you want to destroy the vehicles that are inactive you can adjust inactivity timer to set it for example to 2 days, so any vehicle that wasn't interacted with in last 2 days would be destroyed.
