Empty Vehicles Respawning?

[moosh 0]

Can anybody tell me if it's possible to get empty vehicles to respawn where they were first placed or in a certain area?

It's really not that hard. You need to use the new deletevehicle and createvehicle in a script called by the initialization field of the vehicle you want to respawn.

*********************************

IN EDITOR:

1) make a "game logic" called respawn1

2) make a "game logic" called server

3) make a vehicle - no name needed but write this in the initialization field:

[unitName, Location, Azimut, VehicleClass] exec "VR.sqs"

Unitname = name of vehicle or just <this> (without <>

Location = Respawn1

Azimut = facing or <Random(360)> for random (no <>

Vehicleclass = "UH60MG" or "OH58" (WITH THE " "

exec "VR.sqs" = execute script called VR.sqs with variables between the [ ]

Example: [this, respawn1, random(360), "UH60MG"] exec "VR.sqs"

*****************

IN SCRIPT: make a script called VR.sqs (use notepad and save as VR.sqs - everything in { } is explanation and should not be in the script. lines starting with ; will not be executed.

;THE SCRIPT called VR.sqs

;

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;

;Variables found---->

;

?!(local Server): Goto "end" {if computer isn't server end}

_vcl = _this select 0 {select the variable unitname}

_Location = _this select 1 {select respawn1 or whatever}

_azimut = _this select 2 {select facing variable}

_class = _this select 3 {select class variable}

_respawndelay = 30 {the time it takes to respawn}

;

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;

;Respawn script, vehicle deleted and created if not alive

;

#start

~1

?(Alive _vcl):Goto "start" {if vehicle alive then loop back}

~_respawndelay {the delay in secs set earlier}

_vcl setdammage 0.2 {otherwise smoke will stay too long}

deleteVehicle _vcl

_vcl = _class createVehicle getpos _Location

_vcl setdir _azimut

Goto "start"

#end

Exit

Well that's it.
