Removing all respawn points for a group added by BIS_fnc_addRespawnPosition

[Kingsley1997 39]

Is there a way to remove all of the respawn points added through BIS_fnc_addRespawnPosition?

For example...

[_myGroup, "hq_spawn"] call BIS_fnc_addRespawnPosition;
[_myGroup, "fob"] call BIS_fnc_addRespawnPosition;
... and so on ...

// LATER ON IN THE MISSION
[_myGroup] call BIS_fnc_removeAllRespawnPositions;

I've got it at the moment to add respawn positions to a player's namespace but it's too clunky. Ideally I'd like to remove all respawn positions and then I can do whatever...

I'm aware of this function, but it requires you to know the respawn ID that's returned from BIS_fnc_addRespawnPosition

Save arrays which returns BIS_fnc_addRespawnPosition in array:

allRespawnPositions = [];

{allRespawnPositions pushBack (_x call BIS_fnc_addRespawnPosition)} forEach [
[_target1, _position1],
...
];

{_x call BIS_fnc_removeRespawnPosition} forEach allRespawnPositions;

allRespawnPositions = [];

{_x call BIS_fnc_removeRespawnPosition} forEach allRespawnPositions;

allRespawnPositions = [];

Thanks, I'll save this. I'm currently trying it with markers. It's quite a complicated respawn system though, since if groupA is at fobA, they should only be allowed to spawn at fobA, but groupB can spawn at fobB and so on etc.

Also take a look at this function: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_getRespawnPositions.

You can save the list of identifiers on the group itself:

private "_identifiers";

_identifiers = _myGroup getVariable ["respawnIdentifiers", []];

_identifiers pushBack ...

_myGroup setVariable ["respawnIdentifiers", _identifiers, true];

Alternatively you could be sinful and violate the privacy of the bis_fnc_addRespawnPosition function, and do this:

_myGroup setVariable ["BIS_fnc_getRespawnPositions_list", [-1, [], [], []], true];

{[_myGroup, _x] call BIS_fnc_removeRespawnPosition} forEach (_myGroup call BIS_fnc_getRespawnPositions);

{[_myGroup, _x] call BIS_fnc_removeRespawnPosition} forEach (_myGroup call BIS_fnc_getRespawnPositions);

Sure that works? BIS_fnc_getRespawnPositions returns a position rather than an id for each point.

Yea, my mistake, sorry.

[Kingsley1997 39]

I've tried all your suggestions, nothing's working :( I'm just gonna revisit this when I'm not tired, maybe I'm doing it wrong...

[Schatten 290]

Can you provide source code?

[Larrow 2822]

The respawn positions are stored on the object you specify e.g unit, group, namespace etc in a variable called BIS_fnc_getRespawnPositions_list.

Something like this should do the job

_group = group player;
{
[ _group, _x ] call BIS_fnc_removeRespawnPosition;
}forEach (( _group getVariable "BIS_fnc_getRespawnPositions_list" ) select 1 );
