Respawn @ Start position + veh

Shots · March 16, 2014

Ok, I check the forums for quite a bit and couldn't find exactly what I want so here goes;

Like some I am using the Nimitz for a spawn location & the land base in stratis. Ideally, what I want is a menu to pop up with either spawn location (BOTH Blufor) and let the player select this.

I am currently achieving this with the MP Respawn Module provided by the editor, however, I have been unable to figure out how to set height to the spawn at the carrier so I used a trigger to bring them back up to 17.5 when they spawn in the water. This is rather buggy and to me not how I want it done. All the scripts I have found only give 1 spawn and no menu option to pick from. Or perhaps I am just confused on reading the code, idk.

If the above is not possible a script that will allow the player to respawn BACK at his original location with height assigned.

I am also having some issues with vehicle respawn. I am also using the vehicle respawn module provided by the A3 Editor. However, I have the F-18's attached to some of the nimitz modules and on respawn they no longer are attached to said modules there for losing their ability to use the functions. Now I have seen scripts that allow this but I am not too familiar with how to go about doing it. So if it is possible, something I could stick into the initialization line would be ideal unless you are willing to give a step by step on how to set the script up properly.

Thanks. Sorry if this has been asked and answered, if it has please link. No need to flame.

 Simple Vehicle Respawn Script v1.81 for Arma 3
 by Tophe of Ostgota Ops [OOPS]

 Put this in the vehicles init line:
 veh = [this] execVM "vehicle.sqf"


 Options:
 There are some optional settings. The format for these are:
 veh = [object, Delay, Deserted timer, Respawns, Effect, Dynamic] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

 Default respawn delay is 30 seconds, to set a custom respawn delay time, put that in the init as well. 
 Like this:
 veh = [this, 15] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

 Default respawn time when vehicle is deserted, but not destroyed is 120 seconds. To set a custom timer for this 
 first set respawn delay, then the deserted vehicle timer. (0 = disabled) 
 Like this:  
 veh = [this, 15, 10] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

 By default the number of respawns is infinite. To set a limit first set preceding values then the number of respawns you want (0 = infinite).
 Like this:
 veh = [this, 15, 10, 5] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

 Set this value to TRUE to add a special explosion effect to the wreck when respawning.
 Default value is FALSE, which will simply have the wreck disappear.
 Like this:
 veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

 By default the vehicle will respawn to the point where it first was when the mission started (static). 
 This can be changed to dynamic. Then the vehicle will respawn to the position where it was destroyed. 
 First set all preceding values then set TRUE for dynamic or FALSE for static.
 Like this:
 veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE, TRUE] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

 If you you want to set the INIT field of the respawned vehicle, first set all other values, then set init commands. 
 Those must be inside quotations.
 Like this:
 veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE, FALSE, "this setDammage 0.5"] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

 Default values of all settings are:
 veh = [this, 30, 120, 0, FALSE, FALSE] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

This did not work for what I needed. It also seems to respawn a jet while the other one either has not blown up or been abandoned. I will continue to play around with it to see if I can get it to work correctly, however, if someone else is reading and could provide help, it would be much appreciated.
