Vrs Vehicle Respawn Help.

[mattxr 9]

Ok i have this script which i will post below.

The Objective:

- A Commander Setsdammage to all the air vehicles on the map causing them to have a tail rotor dammage. And since the vehicle name is saved with this script it can be done over and over when the vehicle is respawned. but im having one problem. After the 10 seconds set for the vehicle to respawn it respawns regaurdless if the player is still in there or not. So i was wondering of someone could help me to only start the 10 seconds once the player has got out of the vehcile.

which in SQS format is this code

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">@ (isnull driver heli1) && (isnull gunner heli1) && (isnull commander heli1)

so can somehelp me get that into SQF format and add it into this script.

if (!canMove _vcl && Time >= _delay) then

{

_name = vehicleVarName _vcl;

deleteVehicle _vcl;

_vcl = _type createVehicle _pos;

if (_name != "") then

{

_vcl setVehicleVarName _name;

call compile format["%1 = _vcl", _name];

// debug

if (vehicleVarName _vcl != _name) then { player sideChat "vehicleVarName does not match "+_name } else { player sideChat "vehicleVarName changed "+_name };

};

_vcl setdir _dir;

sleep 1;

_vcl setvelocity [0,0,0];

_vcl setpos _pos;

sleep 1;

_vcl setvelocity [0,0,0];

sleep 2;

};

};

Any help would be very greatfull. thx

I know this doesnt help to much with the converstion but since the '@' sign is the same as WAIT, you might want to look at:

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/waitUntil

Thats the full SQF version of @

I'll look into it more for you.

EDITED:

Matt try this, I've just updated an earlier version of my modified vrs script and as far as I can tell it seems to work. This script includes a crew check and as long as there are alive crew in a vehicle the vehicle respawn count down won't commence.

When i tested it, it did not work how i wanted and i remebered i had to change something in this area

Quote[/b] ]

_name = vehicleVarName _vcl;

  deleteVehicle _vcl;

  _vcl = _type createVehicle _pos;

  if (_name != "") then

  {

    _vcl setVehicleVarName _name;

    call compile format["%1 = _vcl", _name];

But i managed to do it again. You saved me and my clan aircorps training map

Many Thanks again.
