Nutzgo 15 Posted April 12, 2020 Making a convoi-mission, where the players drive vehicles. I've removed the inventory from the vehicle in Eden, and made some custom inventory in them. I've also removed 50% of fuel and ammo. And third, I've added 10 spare tires with ace3 in each vehicle. I've made checkpoints, so when the players reach a defined destination, a new respawn appears there. Thing is, I want the vehicles to retain the loadout and settings when they respawn. If say vehicle 1 is destroyed mid-mission; I want it to a) respawn at the defined respawn location, and b) have the same loadout which it had at mission start. I also dont want to trigger the new respawn locations before the players enter that specific area. When using the Vehicle Respawn Module, it respawns at my location, but the vehicle inventory is the standard inventory for that vehicle (as if I had placed it in Zeus, e.g.). The vehicle also has 100% fuel, 100% ammo, and no spare tires. I've tried using the Light Advanced Vehicle Respawn, but the vehicle only respawns at positon of death. I'm not that good with coding to add a function to define respawn locations. Anyone know how? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe98 91 Posted April 13, 2020 You don't need to respawn. There is another way. Create your car with it's load out. Name it car1. Use copy and paste and create a second car. Name it car2. Place car2 in an out of the way place on the other side of the island. Place a small stone on the map and name it stone1 Create a trigger with the command car2 setpos getpos stone1 So, instead of a respawn, you are simply moving an existing car to the location of choice with the load out you desire.

Nutzgo 15 Posted April 13, 2020 Thought of that. Could also use hide/show with triggers that fire if the specific vehicle dies. But I have five cars, and three check points. So if I want to give the boys one car per check point, I have to place 15 cars.. 😛 I dunno, it could work, but could also be a bit demanding for the server? I could also just deep copy with zeus and teleport cars if need be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Help me break this down, as I am not very skilled in this matter. I want to use your second script. I'll copy/paste the script into initServer.sqf. I understand that the bottom line in the script is parameters, right? Here is how I understand it: I have five cars, named "car1", "car2", "car3", "car4" and "car5". They all have the same respawn location (a marker called "vehicle_respawn"), that moves to a new location when a trigger is fired I want the respawn time to be 10 seconds I dont want the vehicle to respawn if disabled and abandoned (so that the players can jump out and repair it) I dont want other empty vehicles to respawn 0 = [[car1, car2, car3, car4, car5],["vehicle_respawn"],10,false,false] spawn MGI_fnc_VehicleRespawn; Is this the correct setup?

Nutzgo 15 Posted April 13, 2020 pierremgi: It works almost perfectly. Tested in SP editor now. I took out some bandages, epis, morphine and blood bags (Ace3 medical), and destroyed the vehicle a third time. All bandages, epis, morphine and blood were gone, but weapons and ammo still was there. Vehicle init is not kept. I have flags attached to the vehicles, these does not respawn (not a big problem really) Ace cargo is not kept. Vehicles have 10 spare tires from mission start. When vehicle respawns, cargo is reset, so the vehicles have the standard 2 spare tires. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pierremgi 4840 Posted April 13, 2020 These respawn scripts are supposed to save, weapons, magazines, items and backpacks + whole stuff inside backpacks in case of players place their own things in vehicles' crate. For ACE, i don't know how work the inventory, especially for things like extra tires. The flags are my bad. Perhaps there is some easy thing to do. For Ace, I guess there are some dedicated variables. I don't use this mod because most of time, I'm scripting for vanilla and this mod is too advanced. I can't guarantee a compatibility. (In my mind, this mod should be integrated in Vanilla. This way, that could be a winner/winner improvement for everyone). I'm closing this parenthesis. Thanks for your feedback. I'll probably rewrite a little bit my codes with more options. NOTE: always test destruction with weaponry. Don't apply damage by script only (some EH will not fire and there will be some missing behavior. Test as you play. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RCA3 586 Posted April 13, 2020 Hey, adding spare ACE wheels function: [(vehicle name), (amount of tires), "ACE_Wheel"] call ace_repair_fnc_addSpareParts; https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/blob/e2ac18a05d5f646bc7cbc043bcc148fde4c0f5dd/addons/repair/functions/fnc_addSpareParts.sqf Cheers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
