UAV respawn

[anthonyfromtheuk 6]

When I place an Empty UAV and I put

CreateVehicleCrew this;

in its INIT I am able to connect to it using the terminal. but if I use a respawn script to try and run that code on respawn it doesn't seem to do anything? Does anybody have a working UAV respawn script? or is this just still really bugged, I was reading some feedback tickets about this and Im not sure this is possible

How are you respawning the UAV? Post dat code.

The reason I ask, is for all I know you're trying to use a respawn EH on the vehicle to run the code after it respawns (via the respawn script you're using) or something. Which wouldn't work. I've absolutely no idea where/how to start helping you. Though, you mentioned a ticket about the command so that could come into play. I've no idea though, there isn't enough code posted.

if you use iceman`s Light Vehicle Respawn Script... advansed version it will work

i use it to respawn uavs

i got this in uav init in editor:

_nul = [this, 1, 1, {[_this] call TAG_FNC_HunterInit}] execVM "vehRespawn.sqf"; this setFuel 0.3;this addweapon "HMG_127"; this addmagazine "500Rnd_127x99_mag_Tracer_Red";this addweapon "gatling_25mm"; this addmagazine "300Rnd_25mm_shells";

and this in vehInitFunctions.sqf:

TAG_FNC_HunterInit = {

// -- Example code. You can work with the vehicle anyway you like here!! -- //

_veh = _this select 0;

createVehicleCrew _veh; _veh setFuel 0.1;_veh addweapon "HMG_127"; _veh addmagazine "500Rnd_127x99_mag_Tracer_Red";_veh addweapon "gatling_25mm"; _veh addmagazine "300Rnd_25mm_shells";

};

works fine for me

I was using Simple Vehicle Respawn Script v1.81 for Arma 3 by Tophe, custom init works for everything apart from adding crew to UAVs or so it seems once they respawn they just do not show in the terminal.

I also have tried with the advanced vehicle respawn script using

TAG_FNC_UAVInit = {

_veh = _this select 0;

createVehicleCrew _veh; 

};

It works perfectly for everything but UAVs I found. Just cannot see them in the terminal after respawn.

I also tried another respawn script again with the option to set a custom init and even though it works on other vehicles it didn't work on UAVs

[schmoking 17]

are you spawning the right class terminal and uav?

a blufor soldier cant use an opfor or independant terminal or uav... i think

B_UavTerminal = blufor

O_UavTerminal = opfor

I_UavTerminal = independant

blufor:

AR-2 Darter B_UAV_01_F

MQ4A Greyhawk B_UAV_02_F

MQ4A Greyhawk (CAS) B_UAV_02_CAS_F

opfor:

Tayran AR-2 O_UAV_01_F

K40 Ababil-3 O_UAV_02_F

K40 Ababil-3 (CAS) O_UAV_02_CAS_F

independant:

AR-2 Darter I_UAV_01_F

K40 Ababil-3 I_UAV_02_F

K40 Ababil-3 (CAS) I_UAV_02_CAS_F

i got uavs respawning and they do show up in the terminal after respawn.

Empty UAVs are what i wanted to use. When i put it down in the editor and put createVehicleCrew this; in the INIT it works fine but not when it respawns. Will look into just using non empty versions

[schmoking 17]

dont think it works with empty uav... u need to use blufor uav for blufor soldier.

when i place uav in editor i dont use createvehiclecrew... only in respawn script i use that

Got it working it with Icemans Script on empty UAVs, Stupid here didn't save the TAG_FNC_UAVInit when i tried it last time i noticed it was still open in my text editor and once i saved it works like a charm. Sorry to have wasted your time.

[schmoking 17]

lol... no worries, glad you got it working :)

Hiya buddy, would you mind sharing the script that you're using for the working UAV respawn, using empty UAVs and still being able to connect to them after respawn.. Thanks!

In the editor i had an empty UAV named uav with this in its init

_nul = [this, 1, 1, {[_this] call TAG_FNC_UAVInit}] execVM "vehRespawn.sqf"; this disableTIEquipment true; createVehicleCrew this;

Still seems to work so hope that helps you.
