Summary
Despawns dead bodies on separate timers - AI corpses after 10 minutes, player corpses after 25 minutes. Lightweight, server-side only.
Description
AI / Player Body Despawn is a small, lightweight server-side addon that solves one specific problem: cleaning up dead bodies on your server without making AI and player corpses disappear at the same rate.
FEATURES
- Separate despawn timers - AI bodies clear out after 10 minutes, player bodies stay for 25 minutes, so squads have time to find and loot their fallen teammates while AI corpses don't clutter the map for long.
- Server-authoritative - all logic runs only on the server; clients need nothing extra and performance on their end is untouched.
- No dependencies - doesn't require or modify DarcMissions, STW Garbage System, or any other mod. Safe to run alongside all of them.
- Configurable - both timers (and the scan interval/radius) are exposed as simple constants in one script file for easy tuning.
HOW IT WORKS
Every 30 seconds, the server scans the map for dead characters, works out whether each one was AI or player controlled, and removes it once its timer has elapsed.
INSTALLATION
Enable the addon on your server alongside your other mods - no load-order requirements, no config file setup needed. Default timers: AI = 10 min, Player = 25 min.
COMPATIBILITY
Works alongside DarcMissions, STW Garbage System, and other despawn/cleanup mods without conflict. Server-only logic; safe for clients running any mod list.
