Simple Vehicle Respawn Script [Arma3]

naong · April 13, 2013

I modified script and tested in 0.56 stable.

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 setDamage 0.5;"] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

not 'this' but '_this'

Nicely done, naong.

Twix · April 11, 2013

new version works perfectly so far, cheers.

Not for me!!

I don't understand, since the v 1.7, each time i destroy an assault boat, i can't drive it or get in, when it respawn!!...

I need a "repair specialist" to repair it before we can use it another time!

Why?

I can tell you what is obvious... The script errors you are seeing are From CBA... the path is actually in the error if you look at it.. it tells you what the error is, and where it is.... This will be taken care of when the CBA team fixes it. Until then you have to deal...

KevsNoTrev · August 31, 2012

Thanks all because i don't understand why! :(

In the latest stable release -showscripterrors is now on by default. People who have never used this parameter before at launch are not sure what they are seeing. Given it tells you the filename, location and line number to fix it makes bug testing very simple.

Not sure if that's what you meant...

chal00 · May 3, 2013

Ok thanks, i finally understood that for the CBA ^^

But for the respawn problem = no :(

I have this problem since the first game version, and since the v1.7 until v1.81 of vehicle respawn script, as i shown!

Someone can tell me why i can't use assault boat after they respawn??

P.S : i tried naong's script, and it's same thing for me !! Can you try it on assaul boat (in water) to tell me! thx ;)

f2k sel · June 2, 2009

Didn't this script work in both SP and MP mode but now with the removal of setVehicleInit it will only work in MP using naongs update or am I missing something.

SpaydCBR · May 3, 2013

I can't get this script to work. I downloaded it off armaholic. I tried the test mission that came with it but it wasn't working. I destroyed both Hunters in the mission and waited a few minutes but nothing happened. I then tried my own mission, placed a player and empty hunter, i put veh = [this] execVM "vehicle.sqf" in the vehicle's init, and made sure the vehicle.sqf script was in the mission folder. Again, nothing happens when I blow it up. Is there something I'm missing?

chal00 · May 3, 2013

Ok i return!!... i tried all i can do! And now i know exactly the problem with this script!

This script (naong's script with the 0.56 game version) is good to have a respawn vehicle, and has no bug!

But there's still a problem :

When you're not the leader (of your squad/group), you can't drive or get in assault boat/vehicle, if your vehicle isn't "unlocked"!

The problem is that, when the vehicle respawn, it's not "unlocked" anymore!!..

Then you cannot drive it if you're not leader!

What can i do for that?

Is there a problem with the respawn?

Thx !

I can confirm this. Script needs to make respawned vehicle "unlocked".

Hi! My issue is that when I test me vehicle respawn in editor I got this:

'...tDir _dir;

if (_haveinit) then

{_unit |#|SetVehicleInit format ["x1;", _unitinit]...'

"error Missing ;

File: "the root where the vehicle.sqf is", line 116

'...tDir _dir;

{_unit |#|SetVehicleInit format ["x1;", _unitinit]...'

"error Missing ;

File: "the root where the vehicle.sqf is", line 116

setVehicleInit command no longer exists so has broken your version of the script

Have a try of this until tophe fixes it himself, its a lot more basic, but covers you basic respawn with a timer:

_vehicle = _this select 0; //get vehicle's details
_respawntime = _this select 1; //get the init set respawn time
_facingofvehicle = getDir _vehicle; //get original facing
_positionofvehicle = getPosATL _vehicle; //get original position
_vehicletype = typeOf _vehicle; //get the vehicle type
_n = 1;
if(isServer) then{
while{_n == 1} do{
	if((!alive _vehicle) || (!canMove _vehicle)) then { //true if vehicle is not alive or it cannot move
		sleep 240;
		deleteVehicle _vehicle; //clear up old vehicle
		sleep _respawntime; // respawn time between deletion and then respawn
		_vehicle = _vehicletype createVehicle _positionofvehicle; // create a new vehicle of same type at starting position
		_vehicle setPosATL _positionofvehicle; //set correct position
		_vehicle setDir _facingofvehicle; //set correct facing of the vehicle
		[[[_vehicle,_respawntime],"vehicle_respawn.sqf"],"BIS_fnc_execVM",false,false] spawn BIS_fnc_MP; //replacement for the old setVehicleInit, this does the same and causes the new vehicle to have the respawn script when created
		_n = 0; // break out condition
	};
	sleep 60; // sleep for a bit in order to reduce processing calls
};
};

To use:

-Make sure you copy this code into a script called vehicle_respawn.sqf

-To execute it, put in the init of the vehicle you want to respawn 0 = [this,5] execVM "vehicle_respawn.sqf" , changing the 5 to the respawn time you want

-This should work in both singleplayer and multiplayer.

I hope I am allowed to put this in this thread, will create its own and delete this from here if its not.

My isnt working either but i get no error messages, ive tried your script and it dosent work either?

[evo] dan · January 4, 2011

where are you putting this code? could you zip your mission and send it to me (provided its not using mods)?

brad7 · March 15, 2013

i create a respawn_vehicle.SQF and copy the text into that then i put 0 = [this,5] execVM "vehicle_respawn.sqf" in the init of the vehicles...?

[evo] dan · January 4, 2011

your using my code incorrectly in your case. rename the file you called 'respawn_vehicle.sqf' to vehicle_respawn.sqf as your problem seems to be that it wont even execute it because the file doesn't exist because you named it wrong.

brad7 · March 15, 2013

ohh sorry i got mixed up i created a vehicle_respawn.SQF file

[evo] dan · January 4, 2011

ohh sorry i got mixed up i created a vehicle_respawn.SQF file

did you get it to work then?

brad7 · March 15, 2013

no i mean initially i put that i just wrote it wrong way round when writing the post

[evo] dan · January 4, 2011

could you zip the mission then since I cannot see why it wouldn't work for you because its working for me right now

brad7 · March 15, 2013

Its got loads of different mods in it, could you post/send some step screenshots to see where im going wrong?

[evo] dan · January 4, 2011

Try this (its works for me), and see if you can figure out what you have done differently:

Yeh cheers mate it must have been the .sqf file that was wrong thanks for that..
