Dynamic Recon Ops Respawns Edit

[dex01 0]

Hi all,

I hope this is the right section to post my questions that I previously posted in another section but I could not move here or delete..

I'm playing DRO missions in SP and in MP with a friend and I'd like to limit total respawns in the mission (now is illimitate) adding a mission parameter.

Someone can tell me how can I do this?

 

part of description.ext

respawn = 3;
respawnButton = 1;
respawnDelay = 45;
respawnDialog = 0;
respawnOnStart = 0;
respawnTemplates[] = {"MenuPosition", "Tickets", "Spectator", "EndMission"};

class Params
{
	class Respawn
	{
		title = "Respawn";
		values[] = {0,1,2,3};
		texts[] = {"20 Seconds", "45 Seconds", "90 Seconds", "Disabled"};
		default = 1;
	};		
	class RespawnPositions
	{
		title = "Respawn Positions";
		values[] = {0,1,2};
		texts[] = {"Both", "Starting location only", "Team only"};
		default = 0;               
	};
};

OnPlayerRespawn.sqf

 

diag_log format ["DRO: %1 respawn: %2", player, _this];
waitUntil {!isNull player};
if (!isNil "loadoutSavingStarted") then {
	if (loadoutSavingStarted) then {
		playerRespawning = true;
		_loadout = player getVariable "respawnLoadout";	
		if (!isNil "_loadout") then {
			diag_log format ["DRO: Respawning with loadout = %1", _loadout];
			player setUnitLoadout _loadout;
		};
		if (!isNil "respawnTime") then {
			setPlayerRespawnTime respawnTime;	
		};
		deleteVehicle (_this select 1);
		playerRespawning = false;
	};
};
if (!isNil "droGroupIconsVisible") then {
	if (droGroupIconsVisible) then {
		setGroupIconsVisible [true, false];
	};
};

Thanks

You can use the function for respawn tickets.  See also: description.ext.

I read what you suggested but I do not understand how to adapt it to my files.
What code should I implement in my OnPlayerRespawn.sqf file?

 

description.ext

class Params
{
	class Respawn
	{
		title = "Respawn";
		values[] = {0,1,2,3};
		texts[] = {"20 Seconds", "45 Seconds", "90 Seconds", "Disabled"};
		default = 1;
	};		
	class RespawnPositions
	{
		title = "Respawn Positions";
		values[] = {0,1,2};
		texts[] = {"Both", "Starting location only", "Team only"};
		default = 0;               
	};
	class RespawnNumbers
	{
		title = "Respawn Numbers";
		values[] = {0,4,8};
		texts[] = {"Disabled", "4", "8"};
		default = 1;               
	};
};

 

How can I activate the respawn number parameter in the OnPlayerRespawn.sqf ??

 

Thank you

For your respawn parameters:
in description.ext:

You have to define the right values for respawn time. So, the values should be:

values[] = {20,45,90,0}; // i don't know how do you script for 0 or disabled....

default = 45;

in description.ext, also:

respawnTemplates[] = { "Counter", "Tickets" };

 

title = "Respawn Numbers";

values[] = {-1,4,8}; // -1 for disabling respawn > so, player will die

texts[] = {"Disabled", "4", "8"};

default = 4;

 

in init.sqf:

waitUntil {!isNull player};

player addEventHandler ["Killed",{setPlayerRespawnTime ("respawn" call BIS_fnc_getParamValue) }]; // so you read the right value. Must be in EH killed. Command doesn't work on its own.

 

if (isServer) then {[WEST,("RespawnNumbers" call BIS_fnc_getParamValue)] call BIS_fnc_respawnTickets};

 

EDIT: if you want to display some remaining counter, just replace the EH by:

player addEventHandler ["Killed",{

  setPlayerRespawnTime ("respawn" call BIS_fnc_getParamValue);

  ["Remaining life: "+str (([west] call BIS_fnc_respawnTickets)-1), 2] call BIS_fnc_respawnCounter

}];

For disabled you could use -1 and then check == -1 then end mission...

Yep. But it's already done with respawn numbers. I wasn't sure if dex01 would like "no delay" (that could input some issue, especially when respawning on start), or another disabling respawn system.

[HazJ 1288]

I assumed anything 0 or below would instantly respawn regardless. Hence the check to end mission.

Tonight I'll try to edit the files as you suggested.
Thanks to all for the support.

I tried and it seems to be what I was looking for !
But I did not understand how to end the mission when I finished respawn.
Could you show me how to do this?

Thank you

you have all you need in the editor. See attributes / multiplayer / respawn... Mission fail when everyone is dead or single player death.

 

Or add a trigger #lose when all players are dead : {!alive _x} count allplayers == 0 && count allPlayers > 0
