Bon's AI Recruit Script Respawn Help

[polkaboy 1]

I have using Bon's excellent ai recruit script for a long time and I decided it would be great if the player could activate the script instead of assigning the script to an object. For those that don't know, this is a script that brings up a menu for the player to click on to recruit new units. I have changed the script so that the player can call up the Recruit menu and call in soldiers at his location that come in parachutes. The problem I have is that I cannot get the script to work when the player dies and respawns. I have spent hours researching the forums and I cannot come up with a working solution. Here are my init lines:

init.sqf:

[] execVM "bon_recruit_units\init.sqf";

player's init line:

this addAction ["Recruit Units", "bon_recruit_units\open_dialog.sqf"]; this addEventHandler ["killed", {this execVM "bon_recruit_units\open_dialog.sqf"}];

I have modified the "this" in addeventhandler to read: this, _this, (this, 0), (_this, 0), and nothing seems to work. When my player respawns, there is no Recruit Units menu. If I move my mouse cursor over the original player's dead body, I do see the Recruit Units menu. Any suggestions?

look at this page : https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA_2:_Event_Handlers#Respawn

try this:

this addAction ["Recruit Units", "bon_recruit_units\open_dialog.sqf"]; this addEventHandler ["Respawn", {(_this select 0) addaction ["Recruit Units","bon_recruit_units\open_dialog.sqf"]};];

first param passed to Respawn event handler is you new body, and second is the corpse.

first param can be access with _this select 0

second param with _this select 1

Hey Mr. Death,

I think you have to edit the FSM module within the "bon recruits" folder. Its fairly easy with the FSM editor.
