Duplicate respawn sectors in RESPAWN MENU

[cklymowsky 1]

HI All,

I'm using the following scripts to update the respawn sectors in a MP COOP game. It works, however, every time more than one player dies the RESPAWN MENU generates multiple respawn sectors of the same type, depending on how many players are dead, which looks confusing.

 

How should I modify this so that the RESPAWN MENU only uses the latest sectors from the last player that died?

 

description.ext 

respawnTemplates[] = {"MenuInventory","MenuPosition"};

onPlayerRespawn.sqf

//run on all player clients incl. player host and headless clients
if (!isDedicated) then {
	//Once the player has respawned
	//Remove all sector respawn positions
	[ "REM_ALL" ] call TAG_fnc_respawnPositions;
};	

onPlayerKilled.sqf

//When player dies
//For every sector
{		
	//If the sector is owned by the players side
		if ( ( _x getVariable "Owner" ) isEqualTo playerSide ) then {
			//Add a respawn position
			[ "ADD", _x ] call TAG_fnc_respawnPositions;
		};
}forEach BIS_fnc_moduleSector_sectors;

		};

Because you have changed the call to BIS_fnc_addRespawnPosition to use the players side.

_respawnPos = [ playerSide, _pos, _name ] call BIS_fnc_addRespawnPosition;

If a side is used in the call then the positions are publicly shared for all players of this side. My original script used player, so the positions where relevant to that client only.

Thanks Larrow,

 

Switching from playerSide to player, resolves the duplication of sector names in the RESPAWN MENU, with on slight, very minor issue, the RESPAWN MENU for a player already dead, will not be updated with the sector "Name" of a newly captured sector, until they die and the list of sector "Name" are updated.

 

Still works even though an area with a same sector is available to respawn in. during this time.
