help with dml script to remove severed body parts

[675016e03b794denialol]

I usually save to GAM files, but I heard it is wasteful and risks compatibility issues. So, how do I apply the HasRefs:FALSE property to Gore and its descendants without modifying any GAM files and just using DML?

DML1

+ObjProp -197 "RenderType" = "Not Rendered"

save txt as gamesys.dml and place it into any modfolder to be applied once the game exe is launched. to get a proplist.txt with all the available props, fire up the editor and type dump_props_full into the command window (lower right corner) and hit enter. going through the dml documentation in the NewDark docs folder is recommended. also this.

note - has refs will actually not help you, as it's a non-inheritable prop. rendertype not rendered seems to be the way here.

voodoo47 Your script worked, however I can still hear a head in ENG2 splattering against the ground. Perhaps I'll have to cancel out the script that spawns the head using dml. (it's a tripwire)

yes, the prop makes them not rendered/invisible. so technically, they still exist.

you could either break the emitter on eng2 by creating a map dml the would do it, or make every head that spawns delete itself upon creation (see tweq/delete -> stop tweq/sim, deletestate on. that would go onto the severed head archetype, and into gamesys.dml). there are always multiple ways of doing something.
