Vehicle Respawn (Issue)

[curtcooll 1]

I made a game mode a while ago using vehicle re spawn but implemented my own part to the script which allows for Ai pilot to re spawn and re sync the module to call for helicopter, I made this during beta and the script no longer works. If someone could help me out.

 Simple Vehicle Respawn Script v1.8 for Arma 3
 by Tophe of Östgöta 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"

The commands "setVehicleInit" and "processInitCommands" do not exist (anymore if they ever existed, I honestly don't know). Since you didn't provide an example of what a spawn of that function might look like, especially since there's no example of the initCode, I cannot tell how you may have to change it.

I don't know much about vehicle respawning as I haven't used it yet, but you may wanna know about the respawnVehicle command.

I hope that helped a bit.

Johnny

Dammit i have tried using other re spawn scripts but they don't do much they re spawn vehicle but not original vehicle the script i had re spawned the vehicle and the pilot and co pilot , is there anyone that knows a workaround

Fixed it now

You are using an outdated version of the script. The latest version of this script is 1.81. However Tophe has removed this script as there are known issues with it.

Use Icemans Light-Vehicle-Respawn-Script instead
