help Ai Respawn with same Init

[maaarv 1]

Hello

 

We are currently developing an Sandbox Arma 3 Server.

 

i want to make a Sniping spot where you can Snipe some AI´s

the AI´s are set to:   this disableai "ALL";

 

i got a simple Respawn script from a another forum post.

 

which looks like this:

// EDIT THIS BELOW FOR true/false.
_respawnAllAtOnce = true; // true/false only! edit this to suit the respawning needs, per unit or all at once.

params ["_unit"]; // parse the unit to this script. via unit init line... [this] execVM "thisScript.sqf";
if (isNil "_unit") exitWith { diag_log format ["[ERROR] -> unit not able to init respawner"]; };
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

    [_unit] joinSilent _unitGroup; // join the unit back to the same group.
    _unitDescription = getText (configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _unitType >> "displayName"); // get the display name of the unit via the configuration file (text).
    systemChat format ["SPAWNED %1 at position %2, facing %3 degrees (%4 | %5)",_unitVarName,_unitPos,_unitDir,_unitType,_unitDescription];
    _unit disableAI "ALL"; 
    {
        _x addCuratorEditableObjects [[_unit],false]; // add unit for zeus access/monitoring to all curators.
    } forEach allCurators;
    while {alive _unit} do // loop forever (until the unit is deceased).
    {
        waitUntil {!alive _unit}; // wait until the unit is dead.
        if (_respawnAllAtOnce) then // if true, wait until all AI are deceased then respawn them, else respawn 10 seconds after each unit is deceased.
        {
            waitUntil {count (nearestObjects [_unit,["CAManBase"],100] select {(side _x isEqualTo EAST) && (alive _x) && (vehicleVarName _x != "")}) isEqualTo 0}; // wait until ALL of the OPFOR (EAST) AI are deceased to respawn them.
        };
        if (!alive _unit) exitWith // if unit is no longer alive execute the code within then exit the routine.
        {

            {deleteVehicle _x;} forEach (nearestObjects [_unitPos,["GroundWeaponHolder","WeaponHolderSimulated"],5]); // gather all the weapon holder objects within 5 meters of the deceased unit position and delete them.
            ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
            _unitNew = _unitGroup createUnit [_unitType, _unitPos, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"]; // recreate the unit as a UNIT, not a VEHICLE.
            _unitNew setVehicleVarName _unitVarName; // re-add the unit variable name.
            _unitNew setPos _unitPos; // set the position to the original.
            _unitNew setDir _unitDir; // set the direction of the original.
            [_unitNew,_unitPos,_unitDir,_unitType,_unitGroup,_respawnAllAtOnce] spawn unitRespawner; // spawn a new thread for the global function 'unitRespawner' for the recreated unit.
            ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
        };
    };
};

the Problem is that when the ai Respawns the init isn´t there anymore so they run around and shoot at the players

 

how can i fix that?

 

 

thanks for you´re help

what if you add
_unitNew disableAI "ALL";  ??


maby like:

            _unitNew = _unitGroup createUnit [_unitType, _unitPos, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"]; // recreate the unit as a UNIT, not a VEHICLE.

_unitNew disableAI "ALL";

            _unitNew setVehicleVarName _unitVarName; // re-add the unit variable name.
            _unitNew setPos _unitPos; // set the position to the original.
            _unitNew setDir _unitDir; // set the direction of the original.
            [_unitNew,_unitPos,_unitDir,_unitType,_unitGroup,_respawnAllAtOnce] spawn unitRespawner; // spawn a new thread for the global function 'unitRespawner' for the recreated unit.

You can add a variable on these units for some behaviors like respawning, disabling simulation...

Example: this setVariable ["RespawnDisabled",true ];  // in init field of the unit. true =  must be disabled

Now, you can sort the units by:

!isNil {_unit getvariable "RespawnDisabled"}  // this unit must respawn

then: _unit getVariable "RespawnDisabled" // false: not disabled, true: disabled

 

How to make it work:
on each group of units you want to respawn (single player or multi),... or on each unit write something like :

{_x setVariable ["respawnDisabled",TRUE,TRUE]; _x disableAI "all"} count units this;

or

{_x setVariable ["respawnDisabled",FALSE,TRUE]} count units this;

 

Then run this simple respawn code (you can add features but it's basic and working):

 

RESPTIMER = 10;
addMissionEventHandler ["entityKilled", {
  params ["_unit"];
  if (!isNil {_unit getVariable "respawnDisabled"}) then {
    if (!isMultiplayer or !(_unit in playableUnits)) then {
      private _unitGroup = group _unit;
      [_unit,_unitGroup] spawn {
        params ["_unit","_unitGroup",["_unitNew",objNull]];
        private _loadout = getUnitLoadout _unit;
        sleep RESPTIMER;
        private _unitNew = _unitGroup createUnit [typeOf _unit,getpos _unit, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
        _unitNew setVariable ["respawnDisabled", _unit getVariable "respawnDisabled",TRUE];
        _unitNew setUnitLoadout _loadout;
        [_unitNew] joinSilent _unitGroup;
        if (_unitNew getVariable ["respawnDisabled",false]) then {
          _unitNew disableAI "all";
        };
        {deleteVehicle _x} forEach (nearestObjects [getpos _unit,["GroundWeaponHolder","WeaponHolderSimulated"],5]);
        deleteVehicle _unit;
      };
    };
  };
}];
