vehicle respawn problem

[Newborn 10]

i use a template script for the respawn but i have got the problem that the vehicle spawn in other directions.

the azimut at the start is for example 0 and after the respawn it spawns with 180.

i attached the script file has anyone an idea about this ???

_vehicle = _this select 0;

if (isServer) then

{

_spawntime = _this select 1;

_side = _this select 2;

_destroyedOnly = _this select 3;

_initLine = _this select 4;

_initLine = format ["%1; this disableTIEquipment true", _initLine];

_startpos = getPos _vehicle;

_type = typeOf _vehicle;

_inside = 0;

_tseconds = 0;

_meters = 0;

_eventdone = 0;

_eventnumber = 0;

_zonesize = 5;

_identityPos = "";

{

_identityPos = format ["%2-%1", _x, _identityPos];

} foreach _startpos;

_vehicle setVariable ["RESPAWN_IDENTITY_POS", _identityPos];

_wait = 1;

while {_wait == 1} do

{

_inside = 0;

_tseconds = 0;

_meters = _vehicle distance _startpos;

//if ((_meters <= _zonesize) && (_eventdone == 0)) then

//{

// _eventnumber = _vehicle addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {false}];

// _eventdone = 1;

//};

//if ((_meters > _zonesize) && (_eventdone == 1)) then

//{

// _vehicle removeEventHandler ["HandleDamage", _eventnumber];

// _eventdone = 0;

//};

if ((!alive _vehicle) && (!isNull _vehicle)) then

{

sleep _spawntime;

deleteVehicle _vehicle;

_vehicle = _type createVehicle _startpos;

_vehicle setPos _startpos;

_vehicle setVariable ["RESPAWN_IDENTITY_POS", _identityPos];

if (_initLine != "") then

{

_vehicle setVehicleInit _initLine;

processInitCommands;

};

_eventdone = 0;

};

if (!(_destroyedOnly)) then

{

if (((_meters > _zonesize) || ((getDammage _vehicle) != 0)) && (!isNull _vehicle)) then

{

_people = crew _vehicle;

_inside = {_x isKindOf "Man"} count _people;

while {(_tseconds <= (_spawntime * 4)) && (_inside == 0) && (alive _vehicle) && (!(isNull _vehicle))} do

{

sleep 1;

_people = crew _vehicle;

_inside = {_x isKindOf "Man"} count _people;

_tseconds = _tseconds + 1;

};

if ((_inside < 1) && (alive _vehicle) && (!(isNull _vehicle))) then

{

deleteVehicle _vehicle;

_vehicle = _type createVehicle _startpos;

_vehicle setPos _startpos;

_vehicle setVariable ["RESPAWN_IDENTITY_POS", _identityPos];

if (_initLine != "") then

{

_vehicle setVehicleInit _initLine;

processInitCommands;

};

_eventdone = 0;

};

};

};

if(isNull _vehicle) then

{

private "_i";

_i = 1;

while {_i == 1} do

{

{

if (!(isNil {_x getVariable "RESPAWN_IDENTITY_POS"})) then

{

if ((_x getVariable "RESPAWN_IDENTITY_POS") == _identityPos) then

{

_i = 0;

_vehicle = _x;

};

};

} foreach vehicles;

sleep 0.25;

};

};

sleep 1;

};

};

Try adding setdir as in the example below, just the highlighted line

if ((!alive _vehicle) && (!isNull _vehicle)) then
{
sleep _spawntime;
deleteVehicle _vehicle;
_vehicle = _type createVehicle _startpos;
_vehicle setPos _startpos;
[b]_vehicle setdir 0;// this line ************[/b]
_vehicle setVariable ["RESPAWN_IDENTITY_POS", _identityPos];
if (_initLine != "") then
{

If it works you may want to make it a variable and pass that to the game if you require a different direction.

There was a bug with setdir a while back where it didn't always work and it may not have been fixed.

and if i want to make sure it spawns in the start position

am i wrong if i say it must look like that ???

_vehicle setdir = _startpos;

[f2k sel 164]

_vehicle setdir _startdir you would have to add a direction variable it's not contained in _startpos

_startdir = _this select 5; place this near the top of the script

you will then have to change the way the script is called by addin an extra parameter

null=[xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,0] execvm ect xxx would be the original code so don't change that.

This stores the position of the vehicle...then stores the direction.

_startpos = getPos _vehicle;

_startdir = getDir _vehicle;

This restores the position....and then the direction :-

_vehicle setPos _startpos;

_vehicle setDir _startdir;

You're missing the red bits!
