How to keep MH-9 skins after respawn?

[CaRRiED 1]

I am having trouble with MH-9 skins on my mission I am able to add them to my helo using this setobjecttexture [0,"skins\heli_light_01_ext_wasp_co.paa"];. That works fine but as soon as it respawns I lose my skin I know there is a way to have it stick because I have seen them used in a public server. Same goes for the countermeasures I add them using this addweapon "CMFlareLauncher"; this addmagazine "120Rnd_CMFlare_Chaff_Magazine"; but they are gone after respawn. Any help would be great.

Respawn Event Handler would be your best bet.

Put this in the init field of your chopper:

this addEventHandler ["Respawn", {(this select 0) setobjecttexture [0,"skins\heli_light_01_ext_wasp_co.paa"]; (this select 0) addweapon "CMFlareLauncher"; (this select 0) addmagazine "120Rnd_CMFlare_Chaff_Magazine";}];

When I do it this way (copy and pasted what you posted) it doesn't load the skin/flares before or after respawn.

Does addmagazine work with vehicles? Try https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addMagazineTurret

It does work I am able to have the bird spawn with the flares but like I said keeping them is the hard part lol.
