Set Respawn Point in Midair ?

[farix 10]

Hey Guys. I was just wondering if it was possible to put the respawn marker in midair. The only method i currently know of making a res-pawn point is with the marker function. I am trying to get it so that when a player dies they will spawn back at the start (Which is in a Static C-130 at 2000 Height)

Thanks Guys

i44 has a mission where you respawn on a plane, might check that out to see how they did it.

place a trigger over markerarea, say 100 big, anyone present, repeated.

code in on act:

{_x setPos <position of static c130 with height>} foreach list thisTrigger;

maybe also you should use a blackout screen on a killed eventhandler to "hide" the teleport from the ground marker to the static c130.

something like this placed in init of every playableUnit:

_idx = this addMPEventHandler ["mpkilled", {
cutText ["","BLACK OUT",5];
}]; 

[celery 8]

player addEventHandler ["Respawn",{_unit=_this select 0;_unit setPosASL [getPos _unit select 0,getPos _unit select 1,500]}];

Experiment with the height coordinate, and make the respawn marker cover only the walkable area of the plane. At the least you shouldn't have players teleporting to the exact same place because it can result in a mild version of telefragging.

I think Demon has the right idea. But his script is giving me a type nothing error when i instert 2001 as the C-130 Height

That's because you're probably putting <2001>, rather than just 2001, due to Demonized's formatting.

Anyways, Celery's solution takes the least code and works the best.

what i actually meant was something like this, but i asumed it was given:

{_x setPos [getPos c130name select 0, getPos c130name select 1, 2001]} foreach list thisTrigger;

but yeah, celerys post is the simplest and best soultion probably, but maybe use addMPEventHandler and MPrespawn instead of regular.

there is no special difference, but its more reliable afaik, only guessing on that one.

must be a reason why its there, and newer :)

and if you see the teleport, you can just add and play with the blackout blackin cutText in MPkilled eventhandlers.
