help - mhq blownup

[zipman 0]

ok made a mhq with all the weapons and ammo in it,

but when the mhq blown up it respawns but without all the ammo and weapons in,

in the mhq i have added

[this, 20, 0, 255] exec "vehi_respawn.sqs"; null0 = this execVM "ammo.sqf";

but no weapons or ammo

plz help

Sure it doesn't. If this is in the init line of your blown-up MHQ, then the scriptf tries to fill this one instead of the respawned.

Open the vehi_respawn.sqs and head to the end, there should be a line with a createvehicle command. This line starts (wild guess since i don't see the script) with a local variable:

_name_of_variable = .....createVehicle....

from here you have to call your ammo script:

_nul = _name_of_variable execVM "ammo.sqf";

This way your MHQ should be re-equipped with the weapons and ammo you wished.

thanks for the reply this is whats inside the vehi_respawn.sqs

?! (local server): exit

_vehicle = _this select 0

_delay = _this select 1

_pos = _this select 2

_dir = _this select 3

_initVeh = _this exec "SpawnScript.sqs"

_vehicle setVehicleInit _initVeh

processInitCommands

; defining possible vehicle positions

_driver = _vehicle emptypositions "driver"

_gunner = _vehicle emptypositions "gunner"

_commander = _vehicle emptypositions "Commander"

_crew = _vehicle emptypositions "Cargo"

? (_pos == 0): _startpos = getpos _vehicle

? (_dir == 361): _startdir = getdir _vehicle

#waiting

; waiting for Vehicle is disabled

@ !(canmove _vehicle) &! (canfire _vehicle)

; checking if vehicle still is manned

@ (isnull driver _vehicle) && (isnull gunner _vehicle) && (isnull commander _vehicle)

~_delay

? (canmove _vehicle) && (canfire _vehicle): goto "waiting"

_new = typeof _vehicle

deletevehicle _vehicle

_newveh = _new createvehicle _startpos

_newveh setpos _startpos

_newveh setdir _startdir

[_newveh, _delay, _pos, _dir] exec "vehi_respawn.sqs"

exit

so it should read this?

_newveh = _new createvehicle _startpos execVM "ammo.sqf";

i guess no it shouldnt be if i add it like

_newveh = _new createvehicle _startpos execVM "ammo.sqf";

the mhq only spawns in once then dont respawn, damn this stuff is hard to get my head around

lousy respawn script :/ it doesn't save the vehiclevarname on respawn

anyway. Edit it like this: (check the last few lines)

?! (local server): exit

_vehicle = _this select 0
_delay = _this select 1
_pos = _this select 2
_dir = _this select 3
_initVeh = _this exec "SpawnScript.sqs"
_vehicle setVehicleInit _initVeh
processInitCommands

; defining possible vehicle positions
_driver = _vehicle emptypositions "driver"
_gunner = _vehicle emptypositions "gunner"
_commander = _vehicle emptypositions "Commander"
_crew = _vehicle emptypositions "Cargo"

? (_pos == 0): _startpos = getpos _vehicle
? (_dir == 361): _startdir = getdir _vehicle

#waiting
; waiting for Vehicle is disabled
@ !(canmove _vehicle) &! (canfire _vehicle)

; checking if vehicle still is manned

@ (isnull driver _vehicle) && (isnull gunner _vehicle) && (isnull commander _vehicle)

~_delay
? (canmove _vehicle) && (canfire _vehicle): goto "waiting"
_new = typeof _vehicle
deletevehicle _vehicle
_newveh = _new createvehicle _startpos
_newveh setpos _startpos
_newveh setdir _startdir
[_newveh, _delay, _pos, _dir] exec "vehi_respawn.sqs" // this is where the respawnscript is executed for the respawned vehicle.
null = _newveh execVM "ammo.sqf"; // and this is where we add Ammo to the respawned vehicle

exit

thank you all this trouble over the 1 small line..

null = _newveh execVM "ammo.sqf";

ok that worked kinda but now the spawn will only spawn in once when i add that line

null = _newveh execVM "ammo.sqf";

thanks again

ok i have no clue what i did but now it works fine with the code tajin said..very odd

only change

~_delay

? (canmove _vehicle) && (canfire _vehicle): goto "waiting"

_new = typeof _vehicle

deletevehicle _vehicle

_newveh = _new createvehicle _startpos

_newveh setpos _startpos

_newveh setdir _startdir

[_newveh, _delay, _pos, _dir] exec "vehi_respawn.sqs"

null = _newveh execVM "ammo.sqf"; <----/only thing change as above but now its working.

exit

The way your script does the "waiting" phase, that's a a massive amount of checking like "a watched pot never boils"... better to make it sleep for 5, 10 or 30 seconds after each status check, surely?
