ok,

i am for a GLOBAL respawn script for east and west,

without any blackouts and stuff, only a respawn for a multi player game,

I gave you the answer.

you can also insert

respawndelay=20

in there.

That is what description.ext is for!

You can make it instant, base, group etc.

For base, put

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">Respawn = "BASE";

RespawnDelay = 5;

And make marker's called

"respawn_east"

and

"respawn_west"

where you want them to spawn. Tadah!

In your mission folder, make a txt file and name it

Description.ext

make sure there is no .txt at the end.

Then add that shtuff and you can spawn and stuff.

Make sure you don't have a typo else your game will crash.

And you have to reload your mission every time you save it (description).

Easiest way to make a "proper" description.ext is use either notepad or wordpad and save as......

Using the "" forces the exact filename within the "" no matter what "save as type" is displayed.

I had no idea that you could do it that way as well. Thanks for the tip!

[Placebo 29]

i have had a load of viruses on my comp and they seem to have deleted notepad thats why i need to get it

A good respawn to use is Doolittle's revive respawn.

All the instructions are in the readme.... i think.

If you have any queries just ask at the forum or email me at aooksofp@btinternet.com

Revive Respawn: Download

Edit: If the link doesn't work...drag the download link to the address bar of your browser. (Freewebs is crap..goddamnit   )

Ps: Sorry admins if this post seems to be popping up all over the place.....i answered 3 questions with it - all about respawning

[Benny212 0]

it would work but i only have version 1.30 and its says you need version 1.85

thnx anyway as i should be getting resistance in a few days so i will be able to get version 1.85

btw is there any way to respawn empty vehicles when they are destroyed

[law-giver 190]

I use doolitles vehicle respawn although mine is different as i emailed him to solve the dead drivers/gunners etc from stopping vehicles respawning. He solved it bless him. Anyone who wants it, here it is. It will delete dead drivers etc instantly enabling the vehicle to respawn with drivers etc.

Just put this in a vehicles init line [this] exec "vehicle.sqs" or [this, 30] exec "vehicle.sqs"   Get the idea?

Thanks to Doolittle.

vehicle.sqs
