Eventhandler MPrespawn not executed on respawn

[roguetrooper 2]

When I put

this addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", {[this] exec "equip.sqf"}];

into the init line of a unit (soldier), it does not execute the file equip.sqf at respawn.

 

The file equip.sqf is only executed when I use the proper name of the unit:

UNITNAME addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", {[UNITNAME] exec "equip.sqf"}];

 

Why does the first example not work? With 100 units on the map, I would like to use a code that I can simply copy and paste (i.e. just by copying the unit in the editor). I don't want to edit the init lines of all units seperately.

why not use mission EH "EntityRespawned" and add it tot the mission once instead of adding it for every unit and jip?

doesn't that eh account for vehicles as well..?

This in the event code is undefined so maybe failing silently. Should be _this and without [ ] as its already an array of passed variables from the event.

this addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", { _this exec "equip.sqf" }];

Thank you very much! :-)

couldn't you make the variable "public" but not "public" ?

_variable 

vs

variable

?
