Respawn button delay

[infection 1]

I've looked around and I can't seem to find it, how can I add a respawn button delay so when you press escape you have to wait 30 seconds? and if possible with abort aswell.

This should do the trick

disableSerialization;

while {true} do
{
waitUntil {!(isNull (findDisplay 49))};
((findDisplay 49) displayCtrl 1010) ctrlEnable false;
_time = time;
waitUntil {(isNull (findDisplay 49)) || time >= _time + 30};
if (!(isNull (findDisplay 49))) then
{
	((findDisplay 49) displayCtrl 1010) ctrlEnable true;
	waitUntil {isNull (findDisplay 49)};
};
};

((findDisplay 49) displayCtrl 1010) ctrlEnable false;
_time = time;
waitUntil {(isNull (findDisplay 49)) || time >= _time + 30};
if (!(isNull (findDisplay 49))) then
{
	((findDisplay 49) displayCtrl 1010) ctrlEnable true;
	waitUntil {isNull (findDisplay 49)};
};
};

How do you actually set up respawns? I've spent the last 6 hours making a map for a friends unit, but i'm not sure how to get stuff whether soldiers, or vehicles to respawn.

Skullz for a basic respawn for infantry follow my tutorial:

How to setup a respawn for MP using a base respawn

for vehicles I highly recommend :

Simple Vehicle Respawn

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=6080&highlight=SIMPLE+VEHICLE+RESPAWN+SCRIPT

just place a vehicle where ever you want it to respawn, and put the code in it, then when the vehicle is

destroyed somewhere the vehicle will respawn where it was originally placed.

waitUntil {(isNull (findDisplay 49)) || time >= _time + 30};
if (!(isNull (findDisplay 49))) then
{

	waitUntil {isNull (findDisplay 49)};
};
};

I add this to init.sqf? //update, Nevermind got it to work! Thanks a lot! Would it be easy to make it for abort aswell?

Just gotta find the abort idc, then you can implement it alongside.

How would I go about doing that? I've got no idea about any of this :p

Infection, use the [] call BIS_fnc_ConfigViewer function. Great tool & you'll be able to find 99% of everything that's in the game(s). The other 1% are the things you can't find, that may be deep into the config viewer or in a weird place that you'd never think to look.

uhm, Slightly confused by the massive window that popped up :p any tips on how to find the abort IDC?

[iceman77 18]

Yeah you have to look through all of the rsc stuff. Once you learn how to navigate it's not so bad.

update 2023 - this code no longer works. Getting "error suspending not allowed in this context"

anyone know how to fix?

not clear

I used chatgpt to come up with code, this if for use with CBA mod, and its not working either.

 

// Define a function to handle the pause event
_handlePause = {
    params ["_unit", "_pauseState"];
    
    if (_pauseState) then {
        diag_log "Game is paused!";
    }
};

// Add an event handler for the pause event
["onPause", { true }] call CBA_fnc_addEventHandler;
["onPause", _handlePause] call CBA_fnc_addEventHandler;
