Unlock respawn after Task completion

[The_BlackHusky 0]

Hi,

 

As from the title of this post, I am looking at how I set-up a new respawn position in a mission after completing a Task. 

I'm expecting to set up a trigger, and not wanting to make any external folders/files in the file location.

Usually, there is a trigger already for you task completion (or a script with a condition, but that doesn't seem your case).

You can add a "respawn_someSide_someNewMkr" marker  for type  3 (base), with createMarker.

And if you have already got a marker, where respawning takes place, there might be a simple solution, since you want it to be trigger bassed. Just add in the activation field of the trigger:

 

"marker_where_you_respawn" setmarkerpos getpos spawn_helper;

 

Where spawn_helper is an object located at the new desired spawn location. An invisible helipad for example.

TIP : There are a lot of examples using the "invisible helipad" but actually it's wrong , because the ai pilots will use this helipad.

It takes more time to place an helipad than to copy a position in 3den (right click/log). So why ever add an object?

Thanks for the tip! If a chopper is in play then an invisible helper object will do the trick. Although I never had such an issue to be honest. Most likely because chopper landing waypoints are connected to other helipads

Just like to have everything clear when designing any sort of mission. Taking a weeks break for example and coming back, I prefer knowing where the respawn location is and not start searching for the coords. That is also the case with waypoints and such.

i use an invisible pen in such cases but could be any object one likes except potentially mission breaking objects like helipads

Then, markers are made for that!
