Revive Script

[bearbison 10]

have you got the lines in your init.sqf and description.ext? as it looks about right from what I can see.

[Guest]

Here is the code I have in both files relating to Norrins revive:

Description.ext

// description.ext settings for revive

#include "revive_sqf\dialogs\config.cpp"

Can't see anything that should cause you any issues ,similar settings to my missions that don't allow respawn but use revive.

Only other thing I can think of is do you have

respawn = 3;

in your description.ext?

Otherwise only other thing is to wait and see if anyone else can see the problem unless something else is stopping it from working.

[Guest]

ah, that could be the problem... I took all the respawn stuff out of the description.ext as I thought I didn't need it anymore.

So I have to have just respawn = 3; and thats it?

[bearbison 10]

Based on the rest of your code posted by adding that one line it should be good to go.

[carlostex 38]

I've been trying to do PvP with 3 factions but the dead_spectating script is giving me problems always with one of the factions.When i run out of lives spectator cam kics in, but gives acess to my character so if i press escape the cam will die and i'll be able to control the unit! The mission is pretty much done, so this is the only thing that is killing my head. Sometimes with west, sometimes with resistance etc... If i post my mission here can any of guys give me a hand? I really don't know what to do more...

[Guest]

Well I added the respawn = 3; and now when someone gets shot, tyhey go unconsious and get the revive interface. BUT nobody has the revive option which is weird...

Anyone got any ideas?

[bearbison 10]

OK looked again at your configs and missed this bit in the revive_init.sqf

_max_respawns = 0; //array no.38 - Number of lives per unit

Either change it to

_max_respawns = (paramsArray select 1); //array no.38 - Number of lives per unit

and add the following in your description.ext

/* Specifies any parameters that can be changed by admin for mission */
class Params
{
       class Revive
       {
       // paramsArray[1]
               title = "Number of Revives:";
               values[] = {2000,1000,20,10,7,5};
               texts[] = {"No Revive","Infinite - Cadet","20 - Easy ","10 - Normal","7  - Hard","5  - Extreme"};
               default = 10;
       };
};

or just change it to a value higher than 0 and it will work

[Guest]

I have already changed that setting to 1. Still have the same problem where nobody can revive:o

I really appreciate the help you have given so far btw:)

EDIT: Here is my updated revive_init.sqf

if you are using units on west side and soldierEB for east side.

And the same with this.

[Guest]

ah right, thanks. I'll try it in a lil while and report back if it's working or not. Cheers

[Guest]

Yup, that seems to of sorted it:) Although for some reason, when a player goes unconsious, it creates another body so there are two different ones... Is that supposed to happen?

Anyhow, it doesn't matter too much, at least it's funtioning properly now:)

Thanks for the help!

[Nemorz 11]

_cadaver = 0;

That should remove a second body appearing.

[Guest]

Ok, one last thing. I have tested the script with AI in my group and it all works fine. By that I mean, AI fall unconsious and call for help etc.

Now, when I have an AI join my group, he doesn't have the revive script, he just dies. Is there a way to allow AI to use the script if they were not in your group to start with but join your group later on in the mission?

[kremator 1064]

I'm crying out for an MP compatible AI revive script (obviously only required for my side!) Having AI able to call on me (or their mates) to help would be amazing!

DAPman has a script that works for ALL AI and players but it's not totally amazing (like norrin's normal work !)

[Guest]

I just looked at that script and it looks pretty good but its an addon, not a script which is a shame...

[kremator 1064]

We just need to ask nicely for the script version :)

[[GLT] Legislator 59]

I just looked at that script and it looks pretty good but its an addon, not a script which is a shame...

You should be polite and think about the way it had been done. So far the advantages of an addon version are very high for mission creators. Please don't be selfish and at least try to think in greater scales. Norrin has done a very good work for years now.

[Guest]

First off, I wasn't saying it in a rude way. I just meant that its a shame for me as I like my missions to require no addons. Secondly, maybe you got mistaken as you refer to Norrins work when I was talking about a completely different script.

Cheers:)

Weird, I already have that set to 0 but I still get two bodies. I have also noticed it says the player died twice as well...

Try putting a respawn_west marker on your map in the editor

Don't mind the dying number you still have one dead :)

Okay, no problem. Sorry :) I understand it in the wrong way. Keep up!

[wintski 10]

Excellent work norrin mate.

A little help if possible on a small TvT mission.

My Missions revive config is; No respawn and revive only at field hospital etc etc all working well.

Problem is when all players on a side are down (unconscious) the mission wont end as it would in Co-op missions.

Also if a side is all down/unconscious how do I make a specific debriefing show via mission end process? If I amend briefing#6 (via briefing.html) it will be the same for both? If it is tweakable then effectively it shows who won the mission.

I am not great with editing quite a rookie actually.

Any help is appreciated.
