Dogfight Respawns

[kosmonaut 10]

I'm creating a MP mission for ARMA2 vanilla (not OA) which, as the title suggests, will be a dogfight. It will be a deathmatch with 16 players, each in an AV-8B, squaring off against eachother. I want players to start out flying, and after dying, for both them and their plane to respawn and for them to respawn flying the plane. A good example of what I mean would be the official Dogfight mission in ARMA2: OA. I've googled and searched but the various solutions I've encountered don't work for me.

In its current iteration, the players and vehicles respawn on the ground at an airstrip, in two different locations. This is a major problem because without heavy handed moderation there is inevitably a large degree of spawn camping against both the players who aren't in planes and players trying to take off from the airstrip.

Thanks,

Hi kosmonaut,

There is a mission I know of that does what your looking to do, it was made in Arma,

but you could open the mission up in the editor and look at how it was done,

as well as look at the scripts and such in the mission's folder.

This is the mission Im referring too:

is called Camel rage I'll get back to you on the mission as i have to find it.

But it has mid air respawn, and mid air refuel,rearm,repair to it too was made by Celery.
