Command Vehicle (mobile respawn)

[callaway 0]

One of the things I like about Arma is the realism; however, there are times when it can be very frustrating. Long travel times, or just being plain stuck on no-respawn vehicle missions can be annoying.

The BF2 respawn on squad leader system is nice, but just out of place in Arma. My idea is too add a mobile command vehicle that can be parked near objectives and allow direct respawns.

So is this possible with modding?

You don't even need an addon, just take a regular APC and use scripts to attach the respawn location to it.

I was thinking the same thing, some scripting could do it. Without trying it, I can only see 1 problem that needs to be worked out...if the vehicle is destroyed, re-attaching the spawnpoint to the newly spawned vehicle. I think I have a weekend project now, will let you know....

I don't think replacing the spawn point vehicle is that big of a deal, if your command vehicle is in weapons range of the enemy then it's pretty much game over anyway, at least it should be.

So I'm guessing you can only have one spawn point per squad? I guess this would only be used for a particular squad.

no, multiple spawn points can be created and used, I used to have the script for OFP, it may be available on OFPEC

Simple, the respawn marker's got a global name, so when the first vehicle is destroyed exit the script and just run the script again on the new one (from the vehicle respawn script).

I think that leader respawn and mobil vehicle respawn increase the teamplay

it is very simple

after the player spawn I use moveincargo to put the player in the spawn vehicle

Anyone have a respawn CHOICE script where you can respawn same place, or at a particular place...?

What about join in progress (JIP)? I'd really like a JIP script of some kind that sends/teleports new players to a specific marker.
