Nice! You've been busy! :D

not bad. :D

All it needs now is a blue-ish screen (like battlefield 3) and a muffling sound.

You have to load the mission in multiplayer to respawn

Would be nice to see a HALO drop as a respawn option too :)

BangaBob,

do you plan to include an inventory saving system? (so one respawns with his current equipment).

BangaBob,

I didn't but i probably will look into it now

[oktyabr 12]

Loving your method so far. It actually seems to initialize faster than the multiple vanilla BIS spawn points I was using earlier! One question though... I'm using ALiVE which keeps opfor units cached until a player is in range. I was using a trigger synced to a respawn point with this in it, to detect if there were any friendly profiles (WEST) in range before allowing the spawn point to be used:

((count ([getposATL thisTrigger, 50, ["WEST","entity"]] call ALIVE_fnc_getNearProfiles)) > 0);

I think I can figure out what to add to your script so it can detect blufor (or opfor) the same way but I'm not sure where to put it... I'm guessing in respawn_player.sqf, around the block that starts at line #13, but my experiments so far have proven futile. Similarly I also run your excellent EOS script and wonder about the same sort of check but imagine that might be even more difficult to do without a player causing the units to spawn into game (ALiVE has it's own function to check for cached profiles).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

BangaBob,

do you plan to include an inventory saving system? (so one respawns with his current equipment).

Seconded, and inventory saving system would make this perfect, marvellous job Banga, with a real shortage of decent up to date respawn scripts this clean and well working piece of work has been badly needed in the scene.

[dachs 14]

Brilliant, just what I needed to hopefully get my friends sold on Arma. Spawn on group has really been missed here, thanks alot :bounce3:

And a big +1 on the inventory saving, that would really be icing on the cake.

Hello

I was wondering wether it is possible to create several base spawn points, using this script, some of which are only initialized or activated later on during your game?

Did a simple test myself, creating 2 spawn objects on top of each other, and then using a simple radio controlled trigger to setpos it to another position, but the actual spawn point you choose within the BRS spawn dialog never seemed to pick up upon the fact that I had moved the spawn point - is this an error on my part? and if so, how would I go about doing this correctly using your script?

EDIT: Nevermind, changed the object types from invisible helipads to flags, and that seemed to get it working!

[phronk 898]

I've created several different types of empty objects to use as respawn points and named them and referenced them in the init script, as well as having the hideplayer gameLogic placed on the map, but I when I test the mission and kill myself, I respawn on the gameLogic position, no matter what spawn point I have selected.

What am I doing wrong?

[EDIT]

Fixed. The object HAS TO BE an "Empty>Objects>Flag Pole" object otherwise it will not work as a respawn point.

Is this still working? no matter what I do I can not get it to work :(
