each unit has a different respawnpoint

[vixen 10]

hi, is there a way to respawn each unit to a different respawnpoint.

[sxp2high 23]

Yes. Just add this eventhandler to the units:

_respawnEH = Unitname addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", {_this setPos newRespawnPos}];

[vixen 10]

it does not work :(

i suspect that i have to put this in the init-line of the unit and that newRespawnPos is the name of the marker where i want to respawn?

No, newRespawnPos is not another marker, sxp2high asumed you knew scripting.

what he meant was that its a new position so it would be like below, you define it before.

newRespawnPos = getMarkerPos "newMarker1";

but this below will work just fine instead.

_respawnEH = Unitname addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", {_this setPos (getMarkerPos "newRespawnMarker")}];

i'm starting to learn it.:p

but i thougt i got it, but apperently not.

this is what i did: my description looks like this:

class Header

{

gameType = COOP;

minPlayers = 1;

maxPlayers = 16;

};

respawn=3

respawndelay=5;

respawndialog=true;

newRespawnPos = getMarkerPos "ground";

then i tried the code: _respawnEH = Unitname addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", {_this setPos newRespawnPos}]; in my init of the unit, not good. then i put it in the init.sqf but once again, not good. what is wrong?

sorry for the burden, but without question you will learn nothing:)

Here will find answers to your questions.

;)

newRespawnPos = getMarkerPos "ground";
_respawnEH = Unitname addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", {(_this select 0) setPos newRespawnPos}];

goes in init.sqf, never in description.ext, also slight modification, try this.

tnx for the information so far :) but i still don't get it :(

there are 6 teams with 3 units. my unitnames are x1, x2, x3, etc

there are 2 markeres : -ground- and -air-

4teams have to respawn at -ground- and 2teams have to respawn at -air-

what is -respawnEH-? and is there somewhere a list of this things?

I had already seen these links, but they do not clarify much for me. the problem is that i do not understand how it works. in my opinion there is stil 1 marker.

i put the code in my init like this:

newRespawnPos = getMarkerPos "ground";

_respawnEH = x1 addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", {(_this select 0) setPos newRespawnPos}];
_respawnEH = x2 addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", {(_this select 0) setPos newRespawnPos}];
_respawnEH = x3 addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", {(_this select 0) setPos newRespawnPos}];
_respawnEH = x4 addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", {(_this select 0) setPos newRespawnPos}];

this does not work. i only can make it work for 1 unit and 1 marker. i stil have -respawn=3

respawndelay=5;

respawndialog=true;

in my description.

you do realize that you "HAVE" to actually create 4 different markers???

[b]newRespawnPos1 = getMarkerPos "ground1";
newRespawnPos2 = getMarkerPos "ground2";
newRespawnPos3 = getMarkerPos "ground3";
newRespawnPos4 = getMarkerPos "ground4";[/b]

_respawnEH = x1 addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", {(_this select 0) setPos [b]newRespawnPos1[/b]}];
_respawnEH = x2 addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", {(_this select 0) setPos [b]newRespawnPos2[/b]}];
_respawnEH = x3 addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", {(_this select 0) setPos [b]newRespawnPos3[/b]}];
_respawnEH = x4 addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", {(_this select 0) setPos [b]newRespawnPos4[/b]}];

no, i didn't.

tnx for the info and the time. it has helped me a lot.:)
