Respawn not working

Recommended Posts

This is my second mission and in the first one it worked fine the only change is the delay time (5 in first). Player scripting in second is as follows---addweapon blah blah blah; Respawn = "2"; Respawndelay = 20;  In my description.ext (used notepad and it is not txt) is as follows---(first line)Respawn = "2";(second line)Respawndelay = 20;---I tried all kinds of different variations even tried "INSTANT" in place of "2" in the description.ext. I don't know what else to try. Any Ideas? Thanks

Do not put any respawn values in the players init.

Respawn = "2"; should be

Respawn = 2;

I will try that, but why does it work in my first mission?

still not working, i don't know what to do i'm at a total loss. I hate to trash the mission but the number of enemy troops respawn is a must.

If they are AI you have to script them into respawning... they don't count like units set to playable or player...

smile.gif Can you just post the entire contents of description.ext from the mission folder you are actually working in.

Make sure you are actually testing an updated version of hte mission. Under some circumstances the "save as to" feature in the editor malfunctions.

Well, please try copying the mission folder from your users directory, verify that the .ext file is there, then test using that copy.

And please post those contents...

EDIT: Respawn only works in MP, not SP.

Respawn = 2;

Respawndelay = 20;

It's not necessary. smile.gif You can post it up for everyone to try out in the forum. If you want.

Respawn also works when previewing a mission without

exporting it to mp.

Only thing you need to take care is: access the editor by

hosting a multiplayer session.

The editor at the main menu is the one for single player, while

at multiplayer you can select it, where you select the missions

(at the top of the list).
