Deleting items in AsmSelect

[celfred]

Hello,

I'm coming back to you since I've finally managed to extract the 'buggy' part of my code. Here's my problem :

When a player loses a level, I want this player to lose all his equipment, so I wrote :

foreach ($player->equipment as $equipment) {
  $equipment->delete();
}

But here's what happens : The original equipment pages get deleted ! Not just the item in the AsmSelect !

And I just can't figure why this happens ! Yet I'm sure I am misunderstanding some basic principle here... So if anyone could give me a hint, I'd appreciate.

To be more precise : my equipment list is in my tree in equipment/weapons/ and has many pages, such as sword, bow, gun... (It looks violent but it's not, it's a classroom experiment to motivate teenagers ) and my AsmSelect resides in a player template so whenever a player has the possibility, he can select an equipment page. Everything works fine, except when I use this 'delete' line

In other words, how could I clean this asmSelect without actually deleting the pages in the original equipment tree?

Thanks in advance !

$player->of(false);
foreach($player->equipment as $equipment){
    $u->equipment->remove($equipment);
}
$u->save("equipment");

EDIT: Ignore this and go with BitPoet's solution. I was just confirming that removeAll() worked, but he beat me to it

"equipment" is a page array. You can use the removeAll method to clear it of all items:

$player->of(false);
$player->equipment->removeAll();
$player->save();
$player->of(true);

Thank you so much ! I can't believe I've passed through this one... It caused me a real headache having to manually repair the bad work with my 'delete' function.

Now I've learned something again tonight thanks to both of you and I'm still enjoying more and more discovering ProcessWire

Thanks again !
