waituntil command?

[sabot10.5mm 47]

i have a script to regen the players health in a mission shown below, once the player dies and respawns using a script. the regen health script stops working, i have an idea how to make it work but pretty new to coding. something along the lines of having a (waituntil) player dead command then start the loop over? is this the right track?

private ["_newDamage","_t"];
while {alive player} do 
{
	_t = time;
	waitUntil {time - _t > 1};
	if (damage player > 0) then 
		{
		_newDamage = (damage player) - 0.2;
		player setdamage _newDamage;
		//hintSilent format["Current Damage %1",_newdamage];
		};
	sleep 0.50;
};

Use a respawn event handler:

//in your initPlayerLocal.sqf
player addEventHandler [    "Respawn",    {[] execVM "yourScript.sqf";}];

EDIT: Can you post the script you use for respawn?

waituntil wont work since the script stops until its met {blah}. so i just terminate the regen script on player death and exe on player spawn

thats a very nice script, but a little problem i see is - it takes 24 hours to heal fully? i really want the script to work only for blufor and to take around 10 seconds to heal from 0.99 to 0. dont get me wrong thanks for this script.

I think ur own script is doin the job well and u should just modify it in the way that it doesnt stop if player is dead...
