MadMike-Brig2010- 10 Posted July 22, 2010 Thx again for your fast response norrin. So i tell our squad to better not touch the respawn button in the menu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylania 568 Posted July 22, 2010 We ran into the same thing last night even after changing the setDamage to the NORRIN variable thing, even before that. Once everyone was dead with .46, no one got the revive option, just a blank screen saying "Everyone is unconsious, choose a respawn marker" but no buttons. After a while the black screen went away and we could see as if we were lying there but unable to do anything. After THAT we were auto-resurrected where we'd died... Which was unfortunate for us since we'd been overrun and died again immediately! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norrin 9 Posted July 22, 2010 We ran into the same thing last night even after changing the setDamage to the NORRIN variable thing, even before that. Just noticed you've got the mobile spawn settings switched on even though you're not using it, your revive_init.sqf re the mobilespawn currently looks like this: // Mobile Spawn Settings _mobile_spawn = 1; //array no.51 - set to 1 if you want to use mobile spawn //_mobile_base_start = "Insertion"; //array no.52 - NO LONGER NEEDED, REDUNDANT VARIABLE _mobile_base2_start = ""; //array no.70 - NOT IMPLEMENTED _mobile_type = 1; //array no.60 - set as 0 - for vehicle and 1 for man _mobile_man = s4; //array no.53 - place name of unit here or if not used make sure set as objNull _mobile_man2 = objNull; //array no.71 - NOT IMPLEMENTED So change the settings in the revive_init.sqf to look like this: // Mobile Spawn Settings _mobile_spawn = 0; //array no.51 - set to 1 if you want to use mobile spawn //_mobile_base_start = "Insertion"; //array no.52 - NO LONGER NEEDED, REDUNDANT VARIABLE _mobile_base2_start = ""; //array no.70 - NOT IMPLEMENTED _mobile_type = 1; //array no.60 - set as 0 - for vehicle and 1 for man _mobile_man = objNull; //array no.53 - place name of unit here or if not used make sure set as objNull _mobile_man2 = objNull; //array no.71 - NOT IMPLEMENTED Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norrin 9 Posted July 23, 2010 What version of the script are you using horror? Is it the latest one 0.46? If it is then try removing the quotation marks around the unit names eg. NORRN_player_units = [s1,s2]; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
horror1 10 Posted July 24, 2010 well i use 0.2 because 0.46 didnt worked for me (if its the quotations i know why :D) anyway it worked allways good in normal revive missions with respawns at base or mhqs, i just wanted to make this time a mission where the team is on its own till the end and force ultimate teamplay on all members, so they depend on each other to either finish the mission or lose and thats why i dont want respawns. i had a similar mission in arma 1 and the mission ended when all players were unconscious. unfortunately i lost the mission so i cant check the script parameters but im sure i did only change the first line from 0 to 1 : // GENERAL REVIVE OPTIONS (Off = 0, On = 1) _mission_end_function = 1; //array no.0 - mission ends when all players are unconscious this doesnt seem to work here, when i test it alone in multiplayer with disabled ai. i fall unconscious and nothing happens, im just lying there and waiting for revive.

Meanstreak 10 Posted July 24, 2010 Hi Norrin, many thanks to you for taking the time to try and address my 'Ghost soldier' issue. I have resolved this now by taking the advice from a fellow gamer and installing just OA as a standalone game rather than combining with Arma2 and so far, so good. Cheers.

Undeceived 392 Posted July 27, 2010 Hi Norrin. Unfortunately I still didn't find a solution for the not-working drag / carry animation as unarmed person... :( (see my original post here and your answer here). Is there maybe any news about it? :o The thing is that there should be a way to let the dragging / carrying animation work properly. I seems not to be a engine / animation limitation because with the BI module it works perfectly. With a rifle and also without a rifle. As I said however, I won't use the BI modules because there always comes the option to give the injured one first aid (I don't want this option, only the drag / carry). Your script gives me the options I want the player to have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonysoft 10 Posted July 27, 2010 I used the revive system (0.42 now 0.46) with ace2 wounding system without problem. now with oa ace2 all work but when i respawn i am not healed and sometimes i have a screen freeze . have anybody a solution ? p.s. (try with all version of revive) i hope Norrin make a revive working with ace2 wounding system becouse revive and wonding system together is very intersting. sorry for my English bye all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cougs 10 Posted July 27, 2010 Has anyone got the respawn to work in in single player mode? I've followed the instructions exactly but when my unconscious timer runs out I get the message "choose respawn point" but I don't get any respawn buttons options. :( Is it possible to respawn in SP mode?

norrin 9 Posted July 27, 2010 Is it possible to respawn in SP mode? Yes it is mate, most likely a revive_init.sqf config error (PM sent). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sabre=TE= 10 Posted July 29, 2010 I know I'm missing something really simple with this script but I just can't seem to get it to work. I thought I'd set it up as per guide but obviously not. I'm trying to use the script so each player can be revived a maximum of three times but with no respawns at all. If the player is not revived within 5 minutes they die and similarly once a player has been revived three times the fourth kill means the player dies. Is this possible and what options do I need to change to get this to work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norrin 9 Posted July 29, 2010 @Sabre - Make sure you have the following variables set like this in the revive_init.sqf (Note these aren't in the exact order in which they occur). _max_respawns = 3; _revive_timer = 1; _revive_time_limit = 300; _no_respawn_points = 0; _Base_1 = ""; _Base_2 = ""; _Base_3 = ""; _Base_4 = ""; _respawn_position = 3; _mobile_spawn = 0; _mobile_man = objNull; _nearest_teammate_dialog = 0; _all_dead_dialog = 0; _respawn_button_timer = 10000; _distance_to_friend = 10000; _all_dead_player = 0; _all_dead_distance = 10000; I'm at work so I hope I haven't missed something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norrin 9 Posted July 31, 2010 Hi maybe someone can help me when i die i receive this message: Resource rev_cam_dialog_blank not found.Thx for your help. The latest version (0.46) has a new line of code that must be added to the description.ext. #include "revive_sqf\dialogs\rev_cam_dialog_blank.hpp" if you add this after the other #includes in the description.ext, it should fix your problem.

weedman 10 Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) norrin could you please help me and my squad? what we are trying to acheive is that if a player is shot and its servere he needs to call in a medevac through the medevac module and get back to base to be treated in a hospital/MASH or he will die within a set timeframe.

Brilliant piece of work. Our group prefers to play with no respawns so the revive system is an excellent compromise between realism and gameplay (enjoyment). I was wondering if there is a way to have the no respawns with revive as I have it set now but also to have the ability for the medic to deploy the MASH - solely for use of healing - not respawn.

The Medic deploying a MASH is more like the icing on the cake :) I haven't got a clue when it comes to scripting (I wish I did) that's why I'm so glad the community has the likes of yourself.

Cougs 10 Posted August 2, 2010 Idle question and thinking out loud as I'm not near an ARMA editor at the moment: Does the Norrin revive script somehow interfere with the !ALIVE check on units and triggers? I had a IF BOT !ALIVE THEN DO SOMETHING script that was working pre-revive scripts. Now I've put in revive scripts the !ALIVE check fails. That is, a bot will be dead (dead and no revives left) but !ALIVE returns false (!ALIVE should be true). I'm just wondering if the dead-but-not-dead-then-revived-or-respawned-but-wait-I've- got-multiple-lives thing needs to be accounted for? Either that or my script never really worked under all conditions in the first time - which is entirely possible! I know the bot was well and truly 6 feet under as his face disappeared from my 'list' in the bottom left corner in singe player mode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is, a bot will be dead (dead and no revives left) but !ALIVE returns false (!ALIVE should be true). In the latest versions, none of the revivable units ever really die so checking for !alive won't work. You can check for this instead though for each unit _unit getVariable "NORRN_dead"; as this variable is set to "true" when the units either run-out of revive lives or if the unconscious timer elapses and you have the "_respawn_position = 3;" option set in the revive_init.sqf.
