No ai respawn

[Drinker 0]

Hi!

I need help with preventing the AI units to respawn. I need the "playable" units but if they are not players, they shouldn't respawn. I tried in various ways but none of them is 100% reliable. Respawn type is "base".

Does anybody have a "simple" solution to this?

thx

You could have a trigger that counts all the players on what side, so if east sides players are <=0 then

"respawn_east" setmarkerpos [0,0,0]

No, it won't work.

Players need to respawn multiple times, only the AI "playable" units shouldn't respawn. It's useless if i count the number of players for each side as it has nothing to do with my problem.

Also the number of "playable" AI will rarely be 0 - only if all of them die at nearly same time.

There is no way that I know of to "stop" them from spawning, so with a count triggers that count PLAYERS in thislist or something, and if its equal to 0, then move the spawnmarker for AI to [0,0,1000000000000000000000] so you wont see them.

Don't you just not want them to be able to shoot you ect when they spawn? gah.

Try using deletevehicle on them once they have spawned a second time. If its AI, OFP will delete them, if there players nothing will happen.

Well at least thats the theory.

the problem is how can i recognize which units have already died and respawned;

i get an array of already dead units, then i check if any of them is alive again

the problem is that when a unit is alive again - it will not be in that array, the array won't refer to the respawned unit but to the dead body - objNull

so i got an array of objNulls and no array with respawned units

now i'm trying to solve this problem using units names in array - does anybody know if it can happen that more than 1 units have exactly the same name?

Why not just set teh repsawn marker for teh team with no players to [0,0,0] like I said?
