Editor: Respawn object (balloon...)

[Flying-Coyotus 12]

Hello,

 

I make a mission via editor just to make some fire training exercices.

 

I tested different Arma 3 respawn script, but i don't find a way to respawn objects (Land_balloon_01_water_F, soldiers...)

 

Do you have an idea ?

 

Thanks

i tried this:

if (!alive this) then {sleep 1; "Land_Balloon_01_water_F" createvehicle position this};

dont seem to work tho :-/

Hi @flyingcoyotus,

Try this code, it should works at least to setup yourself a little.

Spoiler

/**
 * Replace a "destroyed" object by a new one.
 * @param {Object} 		_obj 		The object to replace
 * @param {Array}		_pos		Position ATL of the object
 * @param {String}		_objType	Type of the object.
 * @param {Number}		_delay		Delay before cloning
 */
my_fnc_replaceObj = {
	_obj = _this select 0;
	_pos = _this select 1;
	_objType = _this select 2;
	_delay = _this select 3;
	sleep _delay;
	deleteVehicle _obj;
	_newObj = createVehicle [_objType, _pos, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
	[_newObj, _delay] call my_fnc_respawnSystem;
};

/**
 * Detects when an object is "killed" and respawn it after a delay
 * @param {Object}	_obj 		The object
 * @param {Number}	delay 		Delay between each respawn in seconds
 */
my_fnc_respawnSystem = {
	_obj = _this select 0;
	delay = _this select 1;

	_obj addEventHandler ["killed", {
		_obj = _this select 0;
		_pos = getPosATL _obj;
		_objType = typeOf _obj;
		[_obj, _pos, _objType, delay] spawn my_fnc_replaceObj;
	}];
};

_objectsToSpawn = [balloon_1,balloon_2]; // Variable names for the objects. Set in the Editor "Variable Name"

{
  [_x, 1] call my_fnc_respawnSystem;
} forEach _objectsToSpawn;

 

There is probably better ways to achieve the same, but maybe you'll find it useful.
