jedra 11 Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) Has anyone used this script in depth with ACE?I see there is an ACE param, which i'm not sure if its active but i've turned it on. Anyway my question relates to items which are "On Back", it seems fine if you have a rucksack or something in the AT position. When you revive/respawn you have the same gear as when you died. But then if you have something on the ACE "On Back", that vanishes when you are revived. Is this a limitation of the script?, or has anyone found a workaround? Although Norrin's scripts has specific code to deal with ACE Backpacks there is nothing in there to deal with ACE_weapononback - so I would assume that anything on your back in ACE would not be added back again after re-spawn. You might have to do it yourself using eventhandlers or attempt to modify Norrin's script. Will have a go later today at amending the script to cope with weapons on back. Looks like it should be reasonably straightforward to add this as most of the logic is the same for ACE rucksacks. I also noticed that the Norrin script uses the older SetVariable method for dealing with ACE rucksacks which pre-dates Evil-Echo's official ACE functions. This might break in the future if they change something in ACE. EDIT -----> I have modified Norrins script to now work with ACE weapons on your back. Not extensively tested, but it was a fairly simple change that follows the ACE Rucksack logic (which does work). HERE is a test mission using the new script.

GHOG 0 Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) I have used Norrins Revive v46 in the past with arma2/OA combined. I tried updating to v50 with the exact same mission and all works well except for addactions. With v46 after revive/respawn I retained my addactions for arty and airsupport that I had added. With v50 after revive/respawn I lose most of these addactions. Also I see a statistics screen for 3 secs before I revive which did not happen with v46. I have rechecked that the options in reviveinit are the same. Any ideas?? I think I have fixed it.Using a script to readd the addactions after revive or respawm. Never needed to do this in v46. thanks GH Edited August 16, 2011 by GHOG found solution Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SD_BOB 10 Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) Thanks again Jedra, all appears well :p Will do some more testing in MP, but so far so good.

v0rt 10 Posted August 18, 2011 It's a really great script, I used it in one of my coop missions and it worked just as I wanted. However now when I try to make a mission with norrins revive I just can't get it to work! I've tried placing the markers exactly the same as when it worked, tried changing maps and so on but the only thing I get when someone dies is the standard scoreboard and 3 sec countdown and then they respawn at the respawn marker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NORRN_player_units = ["UnitSOFBO_Alpha_FTL","UnitSOFBO_Alpha_AR","UnitSOFBO_Alpha_M","UnitSOFBO_Alpha_AAR","UnitSOFBO_ST1_SN","UnitSOFBO_Alpha_AT"]; This reflects the units in the mission I am currently making, but you need to make sure they are correct for your mission.

jedra 11 Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) Here is my revive_init, for some reason the briefing dosen't load but I can change time in parameters and the units respawn as I said....snip Can you post your init.sqf - it looks to me like you are not initialising Norrin's script properly (as a previous poster mentioned). Somewhere in the init.sqf will be a line that does; execVM "revive_init.sqf" if you are copying from Norrin's example, you may have; server execVM "revive_init.sqf"; If you are doing the second one, you need to make sure you have a gameLogic called 'server' on your map. If your briefing is not showing up there may be a problem in your init.sqf that is preventing both the initialisation of Norrins script and the running of briefing.sqf.

r.flagg 11 Posted November 5, 2011 Does anyone know if I can enable the dragging / loading onto vehicle bit for a wounded AI - without having him on the 'can be revived' list? The squad in my mission is using revive / respawn, and I wanted to set up a 'rescue the wounded pilot' scenario. So I'm hoping to place a wounded pilot on the map, and force my squad to go to him and drag him to a vehicle and load him up to take him away to safety.

lockjaw-65- 0 Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) I have just come across a problem that I have not had before with this script. everything seems to work ok. When I deploy the mobile respawn the marker is on the map and respawn works great. The problem is when I stow and move then deploy in a different place the marker is still in the first place. When a unit dies and respawns at the mobile respawn, it respawns at the marker and not where the actual vehicle is?? Has anybody had this problem and know how to resolve. BTW it seems to work fine in editor when previewed Edited January 25, 2012 by LockJaw-65- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JacobJ 10 Posted February 21, 2012 Hey all I have tried to put in this great script in my mission and it all seems to work fine, but I get a script error saying: Error in expression <vive_timer, _heal_yourself,_goto_revive,_unconscious_invincibility,_respawn_at_b> Error position: <_unconscious_invincibility,_respawn_at_b> Error Undefined variable in expression: _unconscious_invincibility File mpmissions\__cur_mp.fallujah\revive_init.sqf, line 194 The only thing I have modified in the revive_init.sqf is changing this, so I use all playableUnits in that list, instead of those s1, s2,s3,s4: // LIST OF PLAYABLE UNITS NORRN_player_units = playableUNits; //NORRN_player_units = [s1,s2,s3,s4]; And then changed s1 in this, to objNull: _mobile_man = objNull; //array no.53 - place name of unit here or if not used make sure set as objNull What could be the problem? /Jacob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[GLT] Legislator 59 Posted February 21, 2012 Hi, I've got an issue with the script. The mobile man respawn is not working. I'm able to deploy the tent, the tent is spawning but the marker I've defined is not moving to the position of the tent. Therefore the player respawns at the pre-placed position of the mobile respawn marker. What am I doing wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saiboti 1 Posted March 9, 2012 Hi I have a Problem with Norrin Revive Script. Everytime when i hit the Respawn Button in the Menu... or every time i die .... i cant respawn. I only become the message ... "You are died...press escape..." and so on. How can i disable that? The revive works great. Sorry for my bad english... hope your understand me. thx for help.

1para{god-father} 105 Posted March 9, 2012 Make sure you have all the markers down "Respawn_west", "boot_hill", "center" etc.. on the map And you have named you men i.e s1, s2 ,s3 then in revive_init.sqf NORRN_player_units = [s1,s2,s3,s4,s5,s6,s7,s8,s9,s10,s11,s12,s13,s14,s15,s16,s17,s18,s19,s20]; You must be just missing something like that !

Saiboti 1 Posted March 9, 2012 Sry but that not the Problem. Sry my English. The Problem is, when i hit the Respawn Button in Arma2 Menu ( standing alive to far away from next base and wont walk back to base ), every time i die and the text "You are dead, press esc and go back to..." comes up and i can only press Esc, and reconnect. All other works good. Respawn after normal die, works. I can press RespawnPoints in the Menu from the script. Revive works great too. Hope i have now a better declaration whats the problem.
