How to create more than one respawn???

frezinator · January 14, 2013

How do you create multiple respawns??? how do you make it also selective ??? For example: if you died you can choose a spawn point

Hi, try this:

Pick spawn from Menu

This will create a menu with a gui, with a list of spawn locations you define.

Create the following scripts:

note you may have to update the respawndelay for the time you want as currently its set for 3 sec

for the maxplayers under class header its set to 3 players, up that number if you want more.

Editor

Place Flags

The way this respawn works is in the editor you place flags at those locations you wish to respawn at.

The flag would be named flag1, flag2, flag3, flag4, flag5, ect,.

Place Trigger

place a trigger with this code in the init line:

_dummy = [] execvm "playerinit.sqf"

place code in condition:

local player

Respawn Menu

When you get killed or respawn a transparent black screen pops up, and a list on the left shows what spawn you have to choose from.

and at the bottom of the screen you have an cancel button and an ok button.

If you choose your spawn and then hit ok then obviously you will respawn at that spawn. If you hit cancel then you will respawn right

where you are, basically where you died. You can remove the cancel button via the description.ext and then

you are forced to spawn at an location on the list, or menu.

If you dont want to use the respawn menu anytime in the mission your in when you have died,

then just hist esc and you will respawn where you died.

Hope that helps.

Omg THank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been posting threads to ask for help but no one is answering :( your the only who helped, Thank you so much really appreciate it!!! im gonna try it out and let you know if it works!! Brb

---------- Post added at 01:52 ---------- Previous post was at 00:32 ----------

I just finished testing, im halfway there. I think im doing something wrong

This is what I did:

1. I put all the scripts in my mission file. (including putting all codes to my description.ext and init.sqf)

2. I went to to the mission editor and start editing my mission.

3. I deleted respawn_west.

4. I added two USA flags and named them flag1 and flag2.

5. I made a trigger and set it to:

Axis: 0 Axis B:0

Once

Present

Blufor

Activation type: None

Condition: this

On activation: _dummy = [] execvm "player.sqf"

Note: I changed _dummy = [] execvm "playerinit.sqf" to _dummy = [] execvm "player.sqf" because when I tried _dummy = [] execvm "playerinit.sqf" it just tells me playerinit.sqf is not found.

6. I start to preview my mission

My Results: When the mission starts I already see the transparent black box.... I haven't even died yet... the box already showed up.. The transparent black box is empty except with two orange little boxes called "Cancel" and "OK". I don't see any respawns list in the black box, am I doing something wrong????

Questions: What do I remove in the description.ext if I want to the remove the word "Cancel"??? and What do I do to make the black box only shows when Im dead???

Your welcome, just point out that its not necessary to quote my whole post, as i know what i said, only time you should quote is

specific things in a post your asking about, or if another forum member replied after me.

5. I made a trigger and set it to:

all you need is just a trigger dont edit it, just create a trigger and add the code:

_dummy = [] execvm "player.sqf"

Note: I changed _dummy = [] execvm "playerinit.sqf" to _dummy = [] execvm "player.sqf" because when I tried _dummy = [] execvm "playerinit.sqf" it just tells me playerinit.sqf is not found.

My bad the name of the script was supposed to be playerinit.sqf but I forgot to add the init when i typed it out, just change

the script name to playerinit.sqf, and make sure the code in the trigger reflects that.

When the mission starts I already see the transparent black box.... I haven't even died yet.

Of course its asking you where you want to spawn at, thats whats supposed to happen, if you dont want to spawn anywhere in particular then hit esc.

Questions: What do I remove in the description.ext if I want to the remove the word "Cancel"???

In the description.ext remove this code which is at the bottom of the script:

class cancelbutton : doobutton {
idc = 3004;
x = 0.552;
y = 0.7625;
text = "$STR_DISP_CANCEL";
onbuttonclick = "closedialog 3000";
};

What do I do to make the black box only shows when Im dead???

Have no idea.

============

i have another pick spawn from menu variation I ported over from Arma1 if your interested, it has the same context

or idea as the pick spawn from menu except instead you have a zoomable map in the dialog box and buttons.

KK I made a trigger and put "_dummy = [] execvm "player.sqf" on the activation code, I didn't edit the trigger, when I respawn no black box shows up....

So I tried making a "game logic" then "objects" (which looks like a trigger too) then I put in the init: "_dummy = [] execvm "player.sqf"

When I respawn the black box shows up!!! but the black box is still empty.... I only see "Cancel" and "Ok"... I don't see respawns list like flag1 and flag2... I can't pick any respawns because it shows none..

How many flags do I need to put??? is there something else do I need to add?? do I need to add respawn_west???

Sorry for asking too many questions, im trying my best to figure out how to make this works.

Does the pick spawn menu from Arma 1 works with Arma 2???

Gunter Severloh · April 14, 2009

Sorry i found the issue I had to update the script, apparently i was using a code I was testing last year

sometime and I forget if it worked or not, probably not, but update the playerinit.sqf with this:

player setvariable ["BIS_noCoreConversations", true];

[] spawn {
while {true} do {
waituntil {alive player};
titletext ["", "black in"];
if ({alive _x} count doorespawnarray > 1) then {
if createdialog "doodialog" then {
uinamespace setvariable ["doolb", finddisplay 3000 displayctrl 3002];
if not isnull (uinamespace getvariable "doolb") then {
{
if (alive _x) then {
_index = (uinamespace getvariable "doolb") lbadd (gettext (configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeof _x >> "displayName") + " at " + (getpos _x call doogetloc));
(uinamespace getvariable "doolb") lbsetdata [_index, str _x];
};
} foreach doorespawnarray;
};
};
};
sleep 5;
waituntil {not alive player};
if dialog then {closedialog 3000};
sleep (playerrespawntime - 2);
titletext ["", "black out"];
};
};

doobuy = compile preprocessfile "buy.sqf";

then be sure the player.sqf you have says this playerinit.sqf

then in the trigger in the mission under condition put:

local player

lastly you'll want at least 2 flags, and the flags you place will add the names of the nearest town so if for example your on

utes then the nearest town could be either strelka or kameny.

If you palce more then 2 flags then those names will repeat themselves based on which town is nearest.

I had it setup before where I had the menu with spawn 1, spawn 2, ect,. I may try that again. But i had updated my original post if your not sure.

Try it out and let me know.

again sorry about that.

Does the pick spawn menu from Arma 1 works with Arma 2???

I have one that I had ported over from Arma1, and yes it does work in Arma2CO np, as codes from OFP could be used too,

and they should work, remember your using the codes on the same engine but the engine just has been updated and more optimized.

try the current menu first and then when it works fro you i will post the other one on how to set it up.

Could you just make a quick sample mission?

Sorry I been very tired this weekend, but ya change the init.SQF to this:

init.sqf

enablesaving [false, false];

doogetloc = {
private "_loc";
_loc = nearestlocations [_this, ["NameCityCapital", "NameCity", "NameVillage", "NameLocal", "Hill", "NameMarine"], 1500];
if (count _loc != 0) then {
	if (text (_loc select 0) != "") then {
		text (_loc select 0)
	} else {
		mapgridposition _this
	};
} else {
	mapgridposition _this
};
};

doorespawnarray = [flag1, flag2, flag3, flag4, flag5];
titletext ["","black faded"];

if not isserver exitwith {};

refer to my original post if your not sure as i had updated everything on that post.

Finalllllllllllllllllly!!!!!!!!!!!! it worked!!!!!!!!!!!! after all those countless hours of testing, I could finally get it to worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:bounce3::eek: :yay: :bounce3: :yay: :D:bounce3:

One more thing, im using a R3F revive script but it seems that its not compatible with the respawn script, do you know how to make it compatible or do you know any other revive scripts that is compatible?

Also, My intro image and intro music won't work but the respawn selection works, I can live with that :)

Gunter Severloh · April 14, 2009

Wonderful, sorry for the mistakes before.

I never use revive, and no dont know how to implement it.

Would you be interested in testing out the other menu respawn I was talking about that I had ported over from Arma1?

Sure I would love to!!!

it's kk, everyone makes mistakes :)

Gunter Severloh · April 14, 2009

Ok. This menu respawn can be tricky but heres what you need to do:

Menu Dialog - Menu respawn

Download the demo mission

Respawn Dialog-Menu Respawn Demo

put the folder into mpmissions folder for the editor, then host the mission and see it in the editor,

also host it to play it as respawn dont work in SP.

=============

You will need to create some folders and a few scripts, just follow the steps:

Step A

Folders

1. create a folder and name it Dialogs

2. create a folder and name it Scripts

Dialogs Folder

1. Inside this folder create a folder and name it Common

Scripts inside Dialogs folder:

1. Create a script and name it Respawn_Dialog.hpp

then put the following code inside the script:

// Desc: A respawn selection dialog
// By: Dr Eyeball
// Version: 1.0 (May 2007)
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// SPWN_ is the unique prefix associated with all unique classes for this dialog.

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// IDD's & IDC's
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#define SPWN_IDD_RespawnDialog 389

#define SPWN_IDC_RespawnList 891
#define SPWN_IDC_RespawnMap 892
#define SPWN_IDC_AcceptButton 893
#define SPWN_IDC_Countdown 894

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Personalisation - Custom modifications to the standard control classes

class SPWN_Button: RscButton
{
 x = 1*Dlg_COLWIDTH;
 y = 0.1;
 w = 0.1;
 h = Dlg_CONTROLHGT;
};

class SPWN_BaselineButton: SPWN_Button
{
 w = 0.15;
 y = 1.0-Dlg_CONTROLHGT; // last row
};

class SPWN_CaptionText: RscText
{

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

class SPWN_RespawnDialog
{

 class SPWN_Background: Dlg_FullBackground
 {
   colorBackground[] = {Dlg_Color_Gray_3, 0.7};
 };

 class SPWN_Frame: Dlg_FullBackgroundFrame
 {
   text = " Respawn Location Selection ";
 };

 //---------------------------------------------

 controls[] = 
 {
   SPWN_RespawnListCaption,
   SPWN_RespawnList,

   SPWN_RespawnMapCaption,
   SPWN_RespawnMap,

   SPWN_AcceptButton
 };
 //---------------------------------------------
 // captions
 class SPWN_RespawnListCaption: SPWN_CaptionText
 {
   idc = SPWN_IDC_Countdown;
   x = 0.01;
   y = 0.03;
   w = 0.51;
   text = "Respawn Locations";
 };
 class SPWN_RespawnMapCaption: SPWN_CaptionText
 {
   x = 0.01;
   y = 0.32;
   w = 0.51;
   text = "Respawn Locations Map";
 };
 //---------------------------------------------
 // Controls
 class SPWN_RespawnList: RscListBox
 { 
   idc = SPWN_IDC_RespawnList;
   x = 0.01;
   y = 0.07;

 };
 class SPWN_RespawnMap: RscMapControl
 {
   idc = SPWN_IDC_RespawnMap; 
   x = 0.01;

 };
 //---------------------------------------------
};

2. Create a script and name it Respawn_Dialog.sqf (note its a sqf this time)

then put the following code inside the script:

What you should have so far

1. You should have a folder that is titled Dialogs,

inside that folder you should have 2 scripts named:

Respawn_Dialog.hpp

Respawn_Dialog.sqf

2. You should have a folder that is titled Common which is inside the Dialogs folder.

The Common folder should have 2 scripts inside it and they are:

DialogColorConstants.hpp

DialogControlClasses.hpp

=====================

Inside your mission folder

Inside your mission folder you should have the following folders and files that we just created above:

A folder named Dialogs with 2 scripts, and inside the Dialogs folder you should have another

folder named common with 2 scripts inside that.

=========

Step B

In this next step we will need to create another folder and other scripts, follow the steps below:

1. Create a folder and name it Scripts

inside this folder we need to create a script, so create a script and name it:

respawn_player.sqf

inside this script add this code:

// Desc: A respawn control script

for [{}, {true}, {true}] do
{
 //waitUntil { !(alive player) };
 while { alive player } do { sleep 1.0 };

 nul=[] execVM "Dialogs\Respawn_Dialog.sqf";

 // wait for respawn countdown to finish and for the selection to be made from the dialog
 // (Upon auto respawning after countdown, you will respawn at "RespawnWest" marker.)
 //waitUntil { alive player && !dialog };
 while { !alive player || dialog } do { sleep 1.0 };

 // player spawned at "RespawnWest" marker initially, so move him to final selected spawn location
 player setPos getMarkerPos RespawnLocation;
};

Lets recap:

Inside your mission folder

Inside your mission folder you should have the following folders and files that we just created above:

A folder named Scripts with 1 script inside named respawn_player.sqf

=========

Step C

in this next step we will need to create 2 scripts, follow the steps below:

1. Create a script and name it description.ext

inside the description.ext script put the following codes:

class Header 
{
 gameType=Coop;
 minPlayers=1;
 maxPlayers=5;
};

#include "Dialogs\Common\DialogColorConstants.hpp"
#include "Dialogs\Common\DialogControlClasses.hpp"

#include "Dialogs\Respawn_Dialog.hpp"

Respawn = "BASE";
RespawnDelay = 3;
RespawnDialog = false; // hide spawn countdown dialog

2. Create a script and name it init.sqf

inside the init.sqf put the following code:

RespawnLocation = "m_Start"; // marker name, init start location
player setPos getMarkerPos RespawnLocation;

//player addeventhandler ["Killed", {_this execVM "scripts\respawn_player.sqf"}]; // would rather use event handler
player execVM "scripts\respawn_player.sqf"; // infinite loop, controls respawning

Lets recap:

Inside your mission folder

Inside your mission folder you should have the following folders and files that we just created above:

A folder named Scripts with 1 script inside named respawn_player.sqf

============

Step D

Overview

Overall Folders and scripts what you should have in your missions folder

Folders

[/b] Dialogs,

inside you should have 2 scripts named:

Respawn_Dialog.hpp

Respawn_Dialog.sqf

Inside the Dialogs folder above you should have a folder named

Common

The Common folder should have 2 scripts inside it and they are:

DialogColorConstants.hpp

DialogControlClasses.hpp

Inside the mission folder is:

Scripts folder with 1 script inside named respawn_player.sqf

Dialogs -(folder)

Scripts - (folder)

description.ext

init.sqf

mission.sqm - (mission you created in the editor)

Step E - Editor

Start the game and open your mission in the editor, and follow the steps below:

1. Put down a player, if the mission is a coop then put more units down and make them playable.

Move the units far away from where you want to start, where its isolated.

2. Create a marker (solid) and name it respawn_west

move the marker to the same spot as the units you created, so the units are in the marker area.

Base Marker

3. Create a marker and name it base, under text put start spawn

place this marker at the base where you plan to start your mission.

4. Create a marker and name it m_Start

This is the spawn point like above where you will start, so where ever this marker is at you will start there when the missions starts.

2nd Respawn Marker

5. Create a marker and name it spawn2, under text put spawn2

5a. Create a marker and name it m_WestSpawn2

3rd Respawn Marker

6. Create a marker and name it spawn3, under text put spawn3

6a. Create a marker and name it m_WestSpawn3

=============

Repeat the markers above for 5 markers, if you need more then 5 markers for respawn then you have to define it in the

Respawn_Dialog.sqf which is in the Dialogs folder.

============

Thats basically it.

So when you start you will spawn at the marker m_Start

when you die a menu will popup with a map, choose from the list which spawn you want,

if you click on a spawn the map will zoom there, if you choose that spot then hit ok at the bottom and you will spawn there.

note that there is an error message that will popup randomly which I have no idea on fixing but its random and rare.

Ok. This menu respawn can be tricky but heres what you need to do:

Menu Dialog - Menu respawn

Download the demo mission

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/42601124/Respawn%20dialog-menu%20respawn.zip

put the folder into mpmissions folder for the editor, then host the mission and see it in the editor,

also host it to play it as respawn dont work in SP.

=============

You will need to create some folders and a few scripts, just follow the steps:

Step A

Folders

1. create a folder and name it Dialogs

2. create a folder and name it Scripts

Dialogs Folder

1. Inside this folder create a folder and name it Common

Scripts inside Dialogs folder:

1. Create a script and name it Respawn_Dialog.hpp

then put the following code inside the script:

What you should have so far

1. You should have a folder that is titled Dialogs,

inside that folder you should have 2 scripts named:

Respawn_Dialog.hpp

Respawn_Dialog.sqf

2. You should have a folder that is titled Common which is inside the Dialogs folder.

The Common folder should have 2 scripts inside it and they are:

DialogColorConstants.hpp

DialogControlClasses.hpp

=====================

Inside your mission folder

Inside your mission folder you should have the following folders and files that we just created above:

A folder named Dialogs with 2 scripts, and inside the Dialogs folder you should have another

folder named common with 2 scripts inside that.

=========

Step B

In this next step we will need to create another folder and other scripts, follow the steps below:

1. Create a folder and name it Scripts

inside this folder we need to create a script, so create a script and name it:

respawn_player.sqf

inside this script add this code:

// Desc: A respawn control script

for [{}, {true}, {true}] do
{
 //waitUntil { !(alive player) };
 while { alive player } do { sleep 1.0 };

 nul=[] execVM "Dialogs\Respawn_Dialog.sqf";

 // wait for respawn countdown to finish and for the selection to be made from the dialog
 // (Upon auto respawning after countdown, you will respawn at "RespawnWest" marker.)
 //waitUntil { alive player && !dialog };
 while { !alive player || dialog } do { sleep 1.0 };

 // player spawned at "RespawnWest" marker initially, so move him to final selected spawn location
 player setPos getMarkerPos RespawnLocation;
};

Lets recap:

Inside your mission folder

Inside your mission folder you should have the following folders and files that we just created above:

A folder named Scripts with 1 script inside named respawn_player.sqf

=========

Step C

in this next step we will need to create 2 scripts, follow the steps below:

1. Create a script and name it description.ext

inside the description.ext script put the following codes:

class Header 
{
 gameType=Coop;
 minPlayers=1;
 maxPlayers=5;
};

#include "Dialogs\Common\DialogColorConstants.hpp"
#include "Dialogs\Common\DialogControlClasses.hpp"

#include "Dialogs\Respawn_Dialog.hpp"

Respawn = "BASE";
RespawnDelay = 3;
RespawnDialog = false; // hide spawn countdown dialog

2. Create a script and name it init.sqf

inside the init.sqf put the following code:

RespawnLocation = "m_Start"; // marker name, init start location
player setPos getMarkerPos RespawnLocation;

//player addeventhandler ["Killed", {_this execVM "scripts\respawn_player.sqf"}]; // would rather use event handler
player execVM "scripts\respawn_player.sqf"; // infinite loop, controls respawning

Lets recap:

Inside your mission folder

Inside your mission folder you should have the following folders and files that we just created above:

A folder named Scripts with 1 script inside named respawn_player.sqf

============

Step D

Overview

Overall Folders and scripts what you should have in your missions folder

Folders

[/b] Dialogs,

inside you should have 2 scripts named:

Respawn_Dialog.hpp

Respawn_Dialog.sqf

Inside the Dialogs folder above you should have a folder named

Common

The Common folder should have 2 scripts inside it and they are:

DialogColorConstants.hpp

DialogControlClasses.hpp

Inside the mission folder is:

Scripts folder with 1 script inside named respawn_player.sqf

Dialogs -(folder)

Scripts - (folder)

description.ext

init.sqf

mission.sqm - (mission you created in the editor)

Step E - Editor

Start the game and open your mission in the editor, and follow the steps below:

1. Put down a player, if the mission is a coop then put more units down and make them playable.

Move the units far away from where you want to start, where its isolated.

2. Create a marker (solid) and name it respawn_west

move the marker to the same spot as the units you created, so the units are in the marker area.

Base Marker

3. Create a marker and name it base, under text put start spawn

place this marker at the base where you plan to start your mission.

4. Create a marker and name it m_Start

This is the spawn point like above where you will start, so where ever this marker is at you will start there when the missions starts.

2nd Respawn Marker

5. Create a marker and name it spawn2, under text put spawn2

5a. Create a marker and name it m_WestSpawn2

3rd Respawn Marker

6. Create a marker and name it spawn3, under text put spawn3

6a. Create a marker and name it m_WestSpawn3

=============

Repeat the markers above for 5 markers, if you need more then 5 markers for respawn then you have to define it in the

Respawn_Dialog.sqf which is in the Dialogs folder.

============

Thats basically it.

So when you start you will spawn at the marker m_Start

when you die a menu will popup with a map, choose from the list which spawn you want,

if you click on a spawn the map will zoom there, if you choose that spot then hit ok at the bottom and you will spawn there.

note that there is an error message that will popup randomly which I have no idea on fixing but its random and rare.

I only have the Arma 2 Free version, I don't have the desert map :/

do you have one for utes or chernarus?

I just finished testing it! it works perfectly fine, it does show some errors but it still works.

one error that i found is that it says "cleanup.sqf not found" the other error i found is that its about in the description.ext, scrollbar not found something like that.. it's too long, i can't remember the whole error message.

I like that menu it shows the map, which i think is really cool!

Im sorry about replying with quotes lol, im really used to replying with quotes >.<

Thank you for everything!!! i really appreciate it so much!!!

By the way ,did you create these two respawns menu's?

Edited March 26, 2013 by frezinator

Gunter Severloh · April 14, 2009

Great.

The two errors your getting, the one for the scrollbar I dont know how to fix, it has to do with something in one of the scripts.

the other error the cleanup error is basically a script I use to cleanup dead bodies and destroyed vehicles in one of my missions that I had used with the menu repsawn,

but I forgot to remove the code in the init script so it still asks for that script even though its not there.

If you want to remove that error then just go into the init.sqf script and remove this code:

[] execVM "cleanup.sqf";

and that should stop the game from asking for that script.

Im sorry about replying with quotes lol, im really used to replying with quotes >.<

you only need to quote what someone said if your responding to what they said in particular,

so if i had asked a question and have a bunch of other stuff in my post then you only quote the question, not the whole post.

Then another example is if I post lets say some information that you have a question about but someone comes on and posts something after me,

then what you would do is copy the lines that you have a question about (not the whole post) and then post your question, like I did here, did I quote your entire post?

No, i think you know what you said, but if Im asking about something specific and not about your whole post which has a few things in it then

I will quote only the line or lines that I have a question about.

Quoting my whole tutorial was simply not necessary, I mean seriously I know what I posted, it took me an hour to put that together,

as trying to describe something for someone and make it understandable can be tricky.

By the way ,did you create these two respawns menu's?

No i did not, the one for Arma I extracted from a mission I played and have no idea which one, its been 2-3 years since that time,

and the firs one I posted I got back when Arma2 was the only game being played at the time and I forget where I got that one, but I had used it for a long time.

Thank you millions for this, its working great, but there's one major problem which i dont know. it works great "respawn_west" so for the west player great but when i put "respawn_east" the east player are able to spawn on those markers which are on the west base. Could you please tell me how to change or fix this, also this is my very first comment in bistudio

I tried the first re-spawn mentioned in the second post on the first page, and this is working great for me !

2 small questions though:

- On first respawn i get a error about class mylistbox not existing, any clue on a fix for this ?

- I'm looking to restrict the usage of this to OPFOR, and have BLUE for respawn at a fixed BASE marker, what would be the best place for a if check ?

Thanks in advance for any help !

audiocustoms · January 31, 2013

Hi.

Great work! But one question: Does the spawn menu also work on arma2 "Patrol Ops" (similar to Domination)?

I already posted something about this:

This is a question I also had, thanks for the info, but I've got a couple of questions;

-I understand that this was originally written for ArmA, and then ported to ArmA 2. Will this work in ArmA 3?

-Will the respawned players have the loadout I specified in their init field?

-Will the respawned players have the ability to call in the support I synced to the original player?

I know this is an older thread, just hoping that you still check in now n then...

Hi, sorry I haven't seen this thread in a while, I will answer what i can:

- On first respawn i get a error about class mylistbox not existing, any clue on a fix for this ?

No, nothing I can do about it.

- I'm looking to restrict the usage of this to OPFOR, and have BLUE for respawn at a fixed BASE marker, what would
be the best place for a if check ?

Have no idea about if check, but heres what I would do:

in the Respawn_Dialog.sqf

["1 - Base", "m_Start"],
   ["2 - Spawn2", "m_WestSpawn2"],
   ["3 - Spawn3", "m_WestSpawn3"],
   ["4 - Spawn4", "m_WestSpawn4"],
   ["5 - Spawn5", "m_WestSpawn5"]

change the name westspawn2-5 to Eastspawn

In the mission itself change the markers to the same as above.

also the the hidden location of the spawn where the units are initially before you start at the spawn m_start, change the units as well to opfor.

Problem is the opfor will use the menu np, but I dont know how to define a separate base respawn as they will use the menu as well.

Does the spawn menu also work on arma2 "Patrol Ops" (similar to Domination)?

Probably wont work if patrol ops already has a spawn in place.

-I understand that this was originally written for ArmA, and then ported to ArmA 2. Will this work in ArmA 3?

I see no reason why it wouldn't, test it and see if it works.

-Will the respawned players have the loadout I specified in their init field?

Yes it should, when i used this menu respawn I had a script runnign with codes in the playable characters, one of which was

for keeping the same weapons you had when you died, and it worked for me np.

-Will the respawned players have the ability to call in the support I synced to the original player?

Yes it should, I'm thinking if the player has a name and the name was defined in a script for the support your using it can work,

as for synced support, i really have no idea.

In fear of being verbally abused for reviving a thread nearly 200 days old, here goes nothing.

Okay so I have read this a ton so far, and as any beginner to SQF, this stuff is confusing (I know C Style coding, but SQF is like spanish backwards).

About the code posted on the second page..

1. Can you make it show when a player first spawns and when they die/respawn?

2. Also, can you hide (black out) the background when the dialog is shown?

(By the way this does work in Arma 3)

My findings so far..

Ive found the loop in respawn_player.sqf did not do much if the timer ran out before a selection was made.. so I commented out the "player setPos getMarkerPos RespawnLocation;" and the while loop and used...

_pos = getMarkerPos lbData [sPWN_IDC_RespawnList, _selectedIndex]
player setPos _pos

.. in SPWN_AcceptButton. The problem is that the player still spawns while the menu is up and spawns at what ever is highlighted.

Any suggestions?

How to create more than one respawn???
