Help on a couple of things please

[MeinHerzBrennt 0]

I dont have much knowledge of scripting at all so please walk me through this step by step. I Know how to do 2 things: Respawn Player At Basewhen they die in multiplayer, and make an anti-personnel mine using camcreate. However, when someone respawns they only have their factions standard assualt rifle and one magazine (M16 or AK74) even if they were a sniper or some other specialty unit. Is there a way to fix this? Also I would appreciate it if you could tell me how to have vechiles respawn after they are destroyed.

Thanks in advance.

Best bet is to try www.ofpec.com wrong section too.

Toadlife 's Universal Weapons Respawn Script 1.04 script is very good for that, i used it and had no problem.

It was on OFPEC, but they have not put back their precious and highly usefull editor depot yet.

So here is what i have :

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">;Universal Weapons Respawn Script v1.04 (March 31, 2003)

;Required Version: 1.85

;by toadlife

;toadlife@toadlife.net

;intialize like this: ["unitname",0] exec "thisscript.sqs"

; Or this: ["unitname",1] exec "thisscript.sqs"

;

; * "unitname" = The name of the player the script runs on (must be enclosed by quotes!)

; * 0/1 = method of repleneshing weapons

; **if method is 0, the player gets the same weapons he started out with every time

; **if method is 1, the player gets the same weapons he had when he died

;

; Advanced example method of initializing script - put the following lines in your init.sqs,

; and replce the unit names with your own:

;_units = ["w1","w2","w3","w4","w5","w6","w7","w8","w9","w10","w11","w12","w13","w14","w15","w16","w17","w18"]

;{[_x,0] exec {weapons_respawn.xsqs}} foreach _units

;

;

I put that whole thing in the description.ext file?

[sanctuary 19]

No, it is a script

Just create a text file, copy paste what is up there inside of it.

Rename this text file , by example

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">weaponrsp.sqs

Put the weaponrsp.sqs file in the folder that is your mission.

And , in each init line of the unit that are set to "Playable" in your mission, put

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">["unitname",0] exec "weaponrsp.sqs"

or

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">["unitname",1] exec "weaponrsp.sqs"

according to the method you want to use (read the comment of the script to see which one you prefer)

unitname is the name of the unit for which you add this in the init line of course.

So if you have a playable unit named Bob , you will use in Bob's init line :

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">["Bob",1] exec "weaponrsp.sqs"

etc,etc...
