Simply open up a text editor notepad word what ever.

Then put in the following and save it as description.ext

Make sure it doesnt have a .txt or someting like that behind it.

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

respawnDelay = DelayInSeconds;

You will have to replace respawntype with one of the types found in the follow link, scroll down to respawn.

Source

And delayinseconds is replaced by the number of seconds delay.

The respawning with weapons part is posible but I dont know how so someone els will have to help you with that.

For the adding weapons/magazines you use a combination of the following commands:

Clear Magazine Cargo

Clear Weapons Cargo

Add Magzine Cargo

Add Weapon Cargo

Add Weapon

Add Magazine

Remove Weapon

RemoveAllweapons

Remove MagazineRemove MagazineS

This is the list for the weapons and magazines that come with arma. You use the weaponclassnames and Magazineclassnames to add\remove weapons and magazines.

List of weapon/magazineclassnames

Since you use some kind of addon it sould have come with a readme that had the weapon and magazine classnames in it so you will have to look them up.

You can put all these commands in a script but since your not a "nerd" you can put them in the initfields that you find in the screen when you place a unit.

Make sure you dont forget to add the ; behind every command line, so for example to add a G36 with 2 clips you would get this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">Unitname addweapon "G36A"; Unitname addmagazine "30Rnd_556x45_G36"; Unitname addmagazine "30Rnd_556x45_G36"

i tried all those weapon init scrips and they dont work on my ARMA map this is annoying

You changed unitname to the name you gave the unit?

[nokas009 0]

yea i got it to work but the unit still loses the weapon when he re-spawns witch is really annoying and how do i add weapons to the ammo crates and if there is any thing im missing to make it better for multilayer please tell me...

[the unknown 0]

Do the same as you did with the units for the crates, I do advice to use the addweaponcargo and addmagazinecargo for this cause it would save you time.

I myself never use the respawn with diffrent weapons so i dont know how to implant this you could try doing a search for it i tink i saw it a couple of months ago, just dont forget to put it from this month to this year.
