Triggered Respawn

[HatchetJesus 1]

I'm trying to make a mission similar to the game mode "countdown" in red orchestra 2.

For those who don't know - Think of it like blitzkrieg, but you only respawn if the objective is taken.

My question is how do I make it so that all players (alive and dead) respawn at a marker? (East and West on 2 different markers obviously) :)

Thanks

You need to set your respawn to Base in your description.ext.

respawn = 3;

And then create proper markers called:

respawn_west

respawn_east

respawn_guerrila

respawn_civilian

Note that this way, players will only respawn when appropriate (When they die).

If you want to manually respawn them, you can either teleport them or kill them :)

By killing them:

{
  if (isPlayer _x) then {
     _x setDamage 1;
  };
} forEach allUnits;

By teleporting them:

{
  if (isPlayer _x) then {
     switch (side _x) do {
        case WEST : { _x setPos getMarkerPos "respawn_west"; };
        case EAST : { _x setPos getMarkerPos "respawn_east"; };
        case RESISTANCE : { _x setPos getMarkerPos "respawn_guerrila"; };
        case CIVILIAN : { _x setPos getMarkerPos "respawn_civilian"; };
     };
  };
} forEach allUnits;

Thanks, that does makes alot of sense!

So my next question is this.. How do I stop the players from respawning unless the trigger is activated?

you dont... you can make them spawn in a remote area of the map, then teleport them to the pos where you want them to "spawn" when you want to...

You can always

disableUserInput true;

until trigger is activated then

disableUserInput false;

this way your players will not even be able to leave the game without alt+F4
