=BTC= Revive

[meatball 25]

Awesome, thanks! You fix anything else in this version?

[giallustio 770]

Are there other bugs?

[meatball 25]

I did notice something strange with the new version, "BTC_disable_respawn = 1;" it used to hide the respawn button. With the new version I can see the respawn button. Also see another, empty, dropdown bar to the left of the Spectate mode drop down.

[giallustio 770]

Let me check

[meatball 25]

I also did notice that I now get the "Lives Remaining" screen which I wasn't previously with my config if that helps. Just in case you need it, here's the contents of what I'm using in my init. Basically I want it set so players can spectate while unconscious, but have to be revived by other players and can't respawn themselves.

Try to re-download, it should be fixed!

Excellent, that's _almost_ perfect, but I noticed one bug. For grins I took a guy with a Rangefinder and threw a pair of Binoculars and a Laser Designator in my backpack. I set it so I could respawn and when I did, everything was correct with the exception of me now having 2 Binoculars and 2 Laser Designators in my backpack :)

Everything else worked perfectly.

[giallustio 770]

I didn't understand :)

The handledamage has to fire to "update" and save your gear btw, I don't know if you were aware of it or not.

[meatball 25]

Right. So, with the current script, if I set "BTC_disable_respawn = 0;" so I can respawn myself, run to a crate that has binoculars in them (Supply Box has one) and grab those binoculars and put them in my backpack as opposed to equipping them.

I then grenade myself twice and die.

I respawn and the Rangefinders are still in the top right gear slot, but if I look in my backpack where I put the one binocular, there are now 2 of them. :)

[giallustio 770]

More clear now, ty :) I'll check it later, damn binoculars.

[meatball 25]

Same seems to be for any of those items, binocs, rangefinders or laser designators. I haven't really dug further into the script, but is there possibly some extra script that looks at all the items in the backpack and for some reason it's adding back in a second copy of those items?

[3lockad3 11]

Okay will do.

I'm not sayin' anything bad, I'm just trying to wrap my head around these mp issues.

I know for a fact that AI skill eats up a lot of resources.

I know of your WarStorm, I edited it a bit to cut back on lag, but that is not your issue, We are not running the best dedicated server. Cheers!

There a variable that I can watch for every time someone is revived? Specifically, I have an addAction attached to the leader of a group in my mission. When they respawn/revive they lose the addAction, and since the 'leader groupname' can vary from game to game and even within a game, I can't just force it in the init of a specific unit.

If there's a variable I can set a trigger to watch that will change when a unit is revived I can just add the check/add there.

[giallustio 770]

BTC_assign_actions fnc or use a "Respawn" EH

[chronicsilence 13]

I've been getting an error where after respawning I can no longer see chat messages. Has anyone else encountered this?

Yes we are having this issue on our dedi server - Though it has only started happening since the last BI update so assumed it was that casuing the problem.

On another we have found that once the mission is up and running the last player to join does not have the ability to revive - seems like they have to jump out and in again for it to work

[Sim.M 48]

anyone else getting head bugged after reviving? This seems to only happen when we're using the Advanced revive. I'll update my missions today and re-test as it could be my version.

[dachs 14]

Hi, I was wondering, is it possible to respawn inside the mobile hq vehicle?

More specifically, I was hoping to respawn the dead players in a new Assault boat, somewhere off the coast, each time they choose to respawn.

Any idea if that would be possible at all?

Is there a way to add a delay before this will take over and teleport you to base and then back out to the battlefield? We recently added IEDs to our server and were wanting 5 seconds or so of ragdoll before being able to be revived

respawnDelay = in seconds you choose; in the description.ext. Look in the =BTC=_revive_init.sqf as well.

Be sure to look at this as well.

Changing respawnDelay just makes the screen black for the time I give it. Then it switches to the laying on the ground injured screen. How do I stop the black screen during that time?

[New Jersey 10]

Hey. i have a short question:

I would like to have the revive animation a bit longer. Is there a possibility that i can define the time of the revive animation. I mean, looping the revive animation, because i have set the sleeping time of the wounded person to 60 sec. Only the revive animation should bo also 50-60 sec. Is there a solution?

Thank for your help.

[3lockad3 11]

Go into the =BTC=_revive_init.sqf, there is options in it for what you are looking for.

Also watch the vids on the header, they are very out of date, but I think Jester covers what you are lookin' for.

[brians200 51]

I have BTC_black_screen set to 0 already. There is a brief moment where it transitions from ragdoll to needing first aid that the screen goes black. I was wondering how to delay this transition so people can see the IED going off. Right now it is just black screen for a quarter of a second and then they are laying on the ground "going what just happened?"
