vehicle respawn script question

[Laviski 1]

and before you say it i have searched and no answer directly answers it

iwant ceratin vehicles to have this in its init field:

so in the editor i have have the vehicle placed and then in its init field i have:

veh = [this, 300, 300, 0, TRUE, FALSE, "[this] exec "scripts\c130cargo.sqf"; this addaction ["(Halo)","Scripts\HALO.sqf"]"] execVM "scripts\vehicle.sqf"; [this] exec "scripts\c130cargo.sqf"; this addaction ["(Halo)","Scripts\HALO.sqf"]

but it won't allow it??

is there any way i can get vehicle to to have the same init on respawn?

this is the script i'm using below:

=========================================================
 Simple Vehicle Respawn Script v1.7
 by Tophe of Östgöta Ops [OOPS]

 Put this in the vehicles init line:
 veh = [this] execVM "vehicle.sqf"


 Options:
 There are some optional settings. The format for these are:
 veh = [this, Delay, Deserted timer, Respawns, Effect, Static] execVM "vehicle.sqf"


 Default respawn delay is 30 seconds, to set a custom
 respawn delay time, put that in the init as well. 
 Like this:
 veh = [this, 15] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

 Default respawn time when vehicle is deserted, but not
 destroyed is 120 seconds. To set a custom timer for this 
 first put the respawn delay, then the deserted vehicle timer. (0 = disabled)
 Like this:  
 veh = [this, 15, 10] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

 By default the number of respawns is infinite. To set a limit
 First set the other values then the number of respawns you want (0 = infinite).
 Like this:
 veh = [this, 15, 10, 5] execVM "vehicle.sqf"


 Set this value to TRUE to add a special explosion effect to the wreck when respawning.
 Default value is FALSE, which will simply have the wreck disappear.
 Like this:
 veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

 By default the vehicle will respawn to the point where it first
 was when the mission started (static). This can be changed to 
 dynamic. Then the vehicle will respawn to the position where it was destroyed. 
 First set all the other values then set TRUE for dynamic or FALSE for static.
 Like this:
 veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE, TRUE] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

 If you you want to set the INIT field of the respawned vehicle, first set all other 
 values, then set init commands. Those must be inside quotations.
 Like this:
 veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE, FALSE, "this setDammage 0.5"] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

 Default values of all settings are:
 veh = [this, 30, 120, 0, FALSE, FALSE] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

is there any way I can get vehicle to to have the same init on respawn?

When using tophes simple vehicle respawn, the vehicle should've respawned with w/e you initially had in it's initialization field.

Also, you're using exec instead of execVM. exec is for sqs. Also, why are you adding the halo action and the c130 script 2x?

[Laviski 1]

thats what i thought but it doesn't when i remove and go with

veh = [this, 300, 300, 0, TRUE, FALSE] execVM "scripts\vehicle.sqf"; [this] exec "scripts\c130cargo.sqf"; this addaction ["(Halo)","Scripts\HALO.sqf"]

the halo and cargo scripts don't work on repawn hence my problem otherwise i wouldn't have done it

and

[this] exec "scripts\c130cargo.sqf" - it wouldn't allow to put [this] execVM "scripts\c130cargo.sqf"

The reason it is not working is due to your use of quotes inside of quotes.

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/String

If you want to include double quotes (") in strings enclosed by double quotes, the inside double quotes have to be written twice.

_string = "my string ""with"" quotes"_string2 = 'my other string "with" quotes'

So your code should look like this:

veh = [this, 300, 300, 0, TRUE, FALSE, "[this] execVM 'scripts\c130cargo.sqf'; this addaction ['(Halo)','Scripts\HALO.sqf']"] execVM "scripts\vehicle.sqf"; [this] execVM "scripts\c130cargo.sqf"; this addaction ["(Halo)","Scripts\HALO.sqf"];

thank your for explaining that something i didn't know.

Cheers!!!! works now.
