fasad 1 Posted February 18, 2007 You should be able to respawn as any unit that is set as playable, so long as you specify the correct respawn type in in the the description.ext Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattsetback 0 Posted February 18, 2007 That Wiki page isn't very specific. In what syntax and location do you have to place the respawn command in the description file? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenjara 0 Posted February 19, 2007 I would also like to know how to set respawn in multiplayer. I did it before in an operation flashpoint map but that was years ago and I cant seem to find any description.ext files anywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do not have the full version of ArmA, but each of the demo missions has a description.ext, take a look at them for a reference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kenjara 0 Posted February 19, 2007 Sorry for getting confused but this description.ext where does it go exactly because I have files to do with my map in my documents and in the actual program folder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DecimusAquila 0 Posted February 19, 2007 Could anyone please add an example of what and how is written for MP games only or an upload of a discription.ext file be put here to study it so we can use it as an example...please. I have added respawn = "group"; and so on...but it seems not to follow. I must have missed something to add. I have read the wiki, I am new to the game myself but trying. My problem is which of the codes should be added to make my coop games and mp work. Thankyou. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DecimusAquila 0 Posted February 19, 2007 Ok this are the steps I made...please correct me and guide me if I am wronge in anyone of them... STEP 1; I put the file in my USER NAME folder MP mission folder. STEP 2; I know open my mission. STEP 3; The 2 files, the mission SQM file and the Discription.ext file. STEP 4; I opened word pad and added just 2 CODES... <span style='color:red'>respawn = "group"; respawndelay= "3";</span> Now...since I noticed that an ext file was needed and not word pad (correct me here if I am wronge), I archived the discription file to ext... Now when I open the discription file after changing its format... you get this... When I start the game...it crashes giving me this... I feel I am so out of track and gone to far getting my thinking all mixed up now. Help in guiding me is what I need now... I am sorry for this noobish questions but I am only 4 days old with ARMA. Never played the former games before and know I have a lot to learn to enjoy this game. Thankyou for any help you give me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DecimusAquila 0 Posted February 19, 2007 Alright, I got it fixed and working. So no need to reply. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fasad 1 Posted February 19, 2007 The last steps is where you went wrong! It looks like you zipped (archived) the file before editing it. description.ext is a TEXT file, open it with notepad. Don't change it's filename. For an example, refer to the wiki page. Every single possible entry is listed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xealot 0 Posted February 24, 2007 So why do people use respawn scripts if you can just modify your Description.ext to respawn the players ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
