Revive Script

[manzilla 1]

Thanks again sir. I gotta say you are a damn genius and boy you work fast.

[imutep 0]

Very nice norrin! My prayer were heard. :)

[snkman 351]

Hey norrin,

just a thought...

Why don't you make the revive AddOn based?

With the commands we have in ArmA 2 this really should be possible with only a few changes. ;)

[Gringo85 0]

Hey guys I need your help, lately I've been playing in U.S SOCOM ACE2 Server with Revive, and the funny thing is every time I get revived my gear gets reset. When I join, first thing I do is to gear up, grab my M4 RCO drop NVGs if it's day time, grab the earplugs and shades, get an AT4 and a bagpack. When someone revives me all that gear is gone and when I check in the Ammo box I can't find them in there(To pick them again) My question is, is it this a new feature of ACE2 or Revive Script? or something is wrong, which I think it might be my case. Please help.

Thanks

[joeanorak 1]

Norrin, a huge thankyou for doing this simply off the back of a couple of us showing an interest. Im going to dive in and have a play immediately!

Noes. Not another addon to enable thanks. :D The stack is getting higher and higher. :j:

Ey guys sorry guys but i dont understand the 3rd step in ur description how to use ur script.

"3. Copy the revive_init.sqf file and revive_sqf, spect, and sound folders across to your

mission directory"

Sorry but i really dont know what i have to do by this step, could u explane it easier?

Would be really nice, greets scout

Scout what version of the revive are you using as for sometime the spectator and sound folders have been contained in the revive_sqf folder? So the first thing I recommend is to go here and download the latest version of the revive for ArmA2: http://forums.bistudio.com/showpost.php?p=1307463&postcount=1 (you want version 0.42).

Once you've got your hands on that, check out the new readMe and all it means is to open up the revive test mission and copy the revive_sqf folder from the test mission into your mission folder.

Hello Norrin!

I´ve been using your revive script a long time now and i cant say anything negative about it. Its absolutely great!

But now i got a problem. I want to use in a new mission the GL4-System. But everytime i use GL4 the revive script won´t work anymore. I guess the problem is on the GL4-side, so i asked SNKMAN about it. I think he is very busy at the moment and not so often in the forum. So i thought i ask you. Maybe you heard about that in the past and still know what to do to use your revive-script and the GL4-system too.

Thx, MadMike.48th

@Madmike

Not sure if this will help but I have found in mission making that putting certain things before "server execVM "revive_init.sqf";" in your Init.sqf will cause the revive not to work. I have no idea why this is ,but I try to keep "server execVM "revive_init.sqf";" near the top of the init.sqf.

If you are trying to run GL4.sqfs (the userconfig sqfs) from inside your mission folder and you put the

waitUntil { !(isNil "GL4_Global") };

[] execVM "GL4_Settings\GL4_Global.sqf";

like Snkman says , before the server execVM "revive_init.sqf"; Revive will not work. I have tried it.

Hope this helps.

I've got to admit mate I've downloaded the latest GL4 but I haven't had a chance to try it yet, just too busy with other ARMA2 stuff, so I'm not sure what could be causing this - sorry. I know in the past SNK has tried to keep the GL stuff compatible with the revive scripts but this may have changed - keep trying to contact him as he's probably the best person to answer this question. If I get a chance, its unlikely in the forseeable future though, I'll take a look myself.

[MadMike-Brig2010- 10]

@Norrin

I fixed the problem for myself. I had to execute the revive-script way more earlier in the init.sqf. So i think you can put your focus on other ARMA2-stuff again... :)

By the way: A big thanks to Nomadd for giving me the info that solved the problem!

[Gnome_AS 10]

like Snkman says , before the server execVM "revive_init.sqf"; Revive will not work. I have tried it.

I don't know that I'd say it won't work. Revive works just fine for me, here is sample of a wip init.sqf I have up right now:

enablesaving [false, false];
player globalChat format["Initializing: Please Standby"];

waituntil {isServer or not isNull player};
player setvariable ["BIS_noCoreConversations", true];

setViewDistance 1750;
setTerrainGrid 25;

if(isNil "mission_init") then {
mission_init = false;
publicVariable "mission_init";
};

if (isServer) then
{
waitUntil { !(isNil "GL4_Global") };
#include "scripts\GL4_Settings\GL4_Global.sqf";
};

[[
 ["USMC","Kill",["Clear the airfield. Kill all enemies.","Remove enemy forces","Clear airfield"],enemyDude]
],[
 ["true",["Note1","Note 1 text field"]]
]] execvm "briefing.sqf";

processInitCommands;

f_processParamsArray = [] execVM "f\common\f_processParamsArray.sqf";

f_script_setLocalVars = [] execVM "f\common\f_setLocalVars.sqf";

[] execVM "f\common\f_setMissionConditions.sqf";

server execVM "revive_init.sqf";

waituntil {!isnil "bis_fnc_init"};

waitUntil {!isNil "mando_missile_init_done"};
waitUntil {mando_missile_init_done};
mando_show_hint_global = false;
mando_rearm_sources_classes = ["TowingTractor"];
mando_minairalt = 50;
mando_weapon_master = true;

HW_Arti_CannonNumber = 4;			// Number cannons
HW_number_artilleryshells_per_hour = 1000;	// Number rounds per hour

[] execVM "bon_artillery\bon_arti_init.sqf";

[] execvm "RMM_Core.sqf";

finishMissionInit;

if (isServer) then {
mission_init = true;
publicVariable "mission_init";
};
waitUntil{mission_init};
player globalChat format["Mission Initialization Complete"];

if(true) exitWith {};

Should have probably posted a cleaner example... but meh, it all works ;)

That being said though, I have no doubt "order of things" may have been an issue for others, I've not had that problem between GL4 & Norrins Revive. GL4 settings in fact need to be at the top somewhere anyway.

Norrins vehicle/respawn/pathing scripts & GL4 on the other hand ... well, just PM me if you ever need a workaround for those. :D

Gnome

Since Norrin released the SP version of the revive script I've been playing with it pretty much non-stop and its really added a whole new dimension to many of my missions just as I thought it would. There's a couple of things I was wondering if it was possible to tweak however to enhance the SP experience even further.

Firstly is it possible to get the 'Protect' rather than the 'Revive' unit to throw smoke on the casualties position? I dug around in AIBehaviour and AI_throwsmoke and experimented a bit but its unfortunately beyond my rather limited scripting skill or understanding of how the functions interact with each other. My reason for asking is that I don't actually want a Medic (revive) unit in my squad hence no-one to throw the smoke. The player is forced to extract unconscious units from combat and load them onto a MEDEVAC vehicle bound for a location where there is a medic / MASH present to revive them. Its often quite difficult to locate the casualty though so marking its position with smoke (or Chem Lights at night) is a great help (and really adds immersion).

Secondly, and I would hazard a guess that this is a much bigger ask; Is it possible to apply the scripts to AI groups that are not led by a player? I'd like to expand the mission I'm working on up to Platoon level using HC and it would be great if the player was forced to respond to a puff of red smoke knowing one of their other sections had a man-down!

[PataPalo 10]

It seems there´s a problem with Recognize System here http://dev-heaven.net/issues/7476, I got that issue at arma.rpt when player dies 1st time

Error in expression <g_marker", _marker];

;

} else {

_marker setMarkerPosLocal (getPosASL _leader);

i>

Error position: <setMarkerPosLocal (getPosASL _leader);

i>

Error setmarkerposlocal: Tipo Script, esperado Cadena

File x\ace\addons\sys_tracking\loop_markers.sqf, line 76

may be serialization...

thank u very much for that great work

[Undeceived 392]

Well you asked for it. Here's a pretty straight port of the revive scripts for SP.

WOW, perfect, norrin!! Many thanks!

---------- Post added at 11:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

It isn't possible to drag a unconscious person without having a rifle (talking about the SP version).

When the unarmed player opts to drag the person, the guy is attached to the player but the player can't move. The same happens when the player presses the carry option: The "lifting" animation is played but when the wounded one is on the shoulders, the player can't move.

Is there a way to fix this so that unarmed players (e.g. pacifistic and helpful Civilians ;)) can also drag and carry unconscious people? That's exactly what I would need for the mission I'm editing...

Thank you very much, norrin for your work!

if not can anyone tell me why its not working, i have the insertion, respawn_west, center, and boot_hill markers in place, it ran just fine when i first put it in, but since monday when i updated ace it no longer is working, the only other scripts that i have in place is the evidence collection script and a ammo box script. For the units im using the Mercernaires addon.

first thing I see is

// RESPAWN OPTIONS

_no_respawn_points = 3;

_Base_1 = "Mobile";

_Base_2 = "Insertion";

_Base_3 = "Medvac";

_Base_4 = "Chopper";

"_no_respawn_points" should be 4 not 3 , since you are using all 4

there maybe other problems but I am heading out the door and out of time to look.

Have you name your playable units to s1,s2,s3....?

[Woodstock21 10]

Yes i do have my units named s1 up to s12, When i first started the map i put in the revive script and a ammo box one, to test it out and it worked just fine, as i continued to edit the map mainly just placing baddies over the area setting up triggers i add in a breifing, and the collect evidence script. then last monday i updated ACE and blam revive doesn't work anymore and neither does the ace backpack and on back feature. so i have no clue

Hey, if revive stopped working it maybe something in your init.sqf. I have found somethings block the

"server execVM "revive_init.sqf";"

in the init.sqf if they are processed before it. Try moving the "server execVM "revive_init.sqf";"closer to the top. I don't know why it happens but I have seen it happen in my missions.

Also make sure your markers in the editor match the ones in the revive_init.sqf.

If you are not using all four then be sure to remember and clear the name in the revive_init.sqf.

Hope this helps

For my init all i got the the revive exec and teh brieifing exec, which i copied directly from the test mission that came with norrins revive script

Hi Norrin,

I've located the problem! Once again Community Base Addon caused the issue. Here's what I did to verify it:

1. I set up ArmA II dedicated server + clients without CBA and without any mods that use extended eventhandler - the mobile respawn worked, in every mission, no matter what revive script version!

2. I set up ArmA II dedicated server + clients with my old CBA version (prior 0.3.0) and nothing worked!

3. I set up ArmA II dedicated server + clients with CBA 0.3.0 and my extended eventhandler using addons and the mobile respawn worked again.

So upgrading CBA helped in that case. However you have a look into it anyway. I only took care of the trigger not of the source of the problem. Maybe the problem occurs again in future versions again.

The mobile respawn still doesn't work :( I've updated CBA to 0.3.1.84 on client and server, but somehow the mobile respawn is only working on the first mission loaded. If I switch missions and return to the working mission, everything remains broken. Here's my RPT for those tests:

Edit:

I did a second test ... and again, only the first mission loaded works. This time I've tried your revive test mission: http://arma.pastebin.com/gfwPa8m1

The first the revive test mission worked, the second time not. Tent is gonna be created, action menu entries changed, respawn button appears ... however there's no mobile respawn marker and the player doesn't respawn at the mobile tent but at the starting point.

What would happen if I set CBA as a required addon by placing the CBA game logic? Would this fix something?
