Move player into vehicle on respawn

[near_blind_sniper 10]

Hello all.

I'm trying to throw together a script for MP that allows a mission commander to force players in spectator to respawn and be placed in a spawned helicopter that will then deposit them at a location of the commander's choosing. So far I've got everything working except when the player respawns. They spawn on respawn_west marker, but aren't moved to the chopper.

I'm using the "BASE" type respawning, and I've tried using both a respawn event handler and onPlayerRespawn.sqf to no avail. I'm at work so I can't post my code, but I can once I get home if that helps.

Thanks.

EDIT:

Figured it out. The command to respawn was firing before clients computers were aware the server spawned vehicle existed.

How did you do it then? :eek:

[Ranwer135 308]

player addMPEventHandler ["Respawn", {player moveInDriver car1};];

Something like that, I am not on the PC right now. I suggest you simply google "addEventHandler arma 3", there should be heaps of info. (Especialy on community.bistudio.com )

Alright, I'll test it later. Thanks :D

Hi, I have a related issue.

I want my players to be respawned in veh1 or veh2 or if both vehicles are destroyed at respawn_east marker.

In player's init I have written:

this addEventHandler ["RESPAWN", this execVM "scripts\rspwn.sqf"];

In rspwn.sqf I have written:

hint "START rpswn.sqf";

sleep 0.5;

_unit = _this select 0;

switch (true) do

{

case ( alive veh1 && alive veh2) : {_unit moveInCargo veh1;};

case (!alive veh1 && alive veh2) : {_unit moveInCargo veh2;};

case (!alive veh1 && !alive veh2) : {_unit setPos (getMarkerPos "respawn_east");};

};

_unit addEventHandler ["RESPAWN", this execVM "scripts\rspwn.sqf"];

sleep 2;

hint "END rspwn.sqf";

First thing that confuses me, is that the Eventhandler RESPAWN executes the script straight after mission start.

( I get the first hint, the second one does not show up )

I thought it would fire only after respawn?

Second thing is, that the script probably is pathetically wrong?

Respawn itself is working, I get respawned at respawn_east.

Thanks for a helping hand!

rspwn.sqf:

sleep 0.5;


if (alive veh1 && alive veh2) then
{
_vehicleSel = player moveInDriver [veh1, veh2] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;
}
else
{
player setPos (getMarkerPos "respawn_east");
};


player addEventHandler ["RESPAWN", {_this execVM "scripts\rspwn.sqf"}];

If you want it to be MP compatible, change the code in both scripts

player addEventHandler ["RESPAWN", {_this execVM "scripts\rspwn.sqf"}];

to

player addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", {_this execVM "scripts\rspwn.sqf"}];

Hope it helps, ;)

Thanks for the response Ranwer.

Tested below code on local dedicated server and it seems to work as wanted.

/*
add to player's init, EventHandler stays attached to player's unit after death/respawn:
this addEventHandler ["RESPAWN",{_this execvm  "scripts\rspwn.sqf"}];
*/

sleep 0.5;
private ["_unit"];
_unit = _this select 0;

switch (true) do 
{
case (alive veh1 &&  veh1 emptyPositions "cargo" > 0) : {_unit moveInCargo veh1;};
case (alive veh2 &&  veh2 emptyPositions "cargo" > 0) : {_unit moveInCargo veh2;};
case (!(veh1 emptyPositions "cargo" > 0) && !(veh2 emptyPositions "cargo" > 0)) : {_unit setPos (getMarkerPos "respawn_east");};
case (!alive veh1 && !alive veh2) : {_unit setPos (getMarkerPos "respawn_east");};
};

You can adjust this behaviour in description.ext (at least I assume this is what's happening... have not tested it myself with an EH just using onPlayerRespawn.sqf)

respawnOnStart = 1;   //Respawn on start. Run respawn script on start.
respawnOnStart = 0;   //Dont respawn on start. Run respawn script on start.
respawnOnStart = -1;  //Dont respawn on start. Don't run respawn script on start.
