Group respawn if the entire squad is dead.

[nyles 11]

I was wondering, if some kind of a group respawn script exists. Basically I would like to see it work so that a player controlled AI squad, would shrink with every loss. The player would be shifted from position to position in the squad if he dies and when the whole squad is wiped out, you as the leader would respawn with your full squad at a marked position (base, ..). That way it would be possible for MP games, to replace a single player slot with a whole squad under human control, without the chaos of constant single respawns.

Has anyone heared of such a script, or is anyone capable of creating it?

Im sure there is a way to do something like that with complicated scripting.. and creat unit commands and such, but I can tell you this... if you edit the "description.ext" and on the line that says, </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">respawn="GROUP";<span id='postcolor'> Change it to, </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">respawn=4;<span id='postcolor'> that way when a single unit dies they come back.. same with a player unit, any unit in the game thats playable will respawn... if the unit is not playable, it will die and never get played unitll the next game played!

Yes, I see. Thanks!

I think it would be best to combine such a script with the existing Method of respawn within your squad. The only tricky thing would be to add the other stuff when the last unit dies and the game would want to place you in "bird-mode". At this time, the respawn stuff should jump in, basically creating a new unit with you in command (which would have the same specs as the unit you commanded before) and erase the bird somehow. As I could only understand such a script but never create one by myself, I am really depending on other people here. So, any takers? Please!

This will spawn a soldier and join it in your group , maybe that will help you.

Could somebody incorporate this into the named script ?
