However, we can't play this game any longer, because equipment of the plane shows that we are lying. It would be best if crew, together with the plane just came back to U.S. We have green light. If everything go they way it suppose, Chernarus government won't be able to give out any evidence and we will make it look as rescue of pilots from hostile country.

Its quite simple... just exec the briefing.sqf after respawn.

You need a eventhandler "killed" for every player. Write this in the Init.sqf:

_KilledHandler = player addEventHandler ["killed", {_this execVM "playerkilled.sqf"}];

Now create a "playerkilled.sqf" in your missionfolder and write this to it:

waituntil {(alive player)};

execVM "briefing.sqf";

If the player get killed, the scriptis started... but in the first line it paused until the player respawns (is alive again)... than the scriptexecs the briefing.sqf again.

Hope you dont mind me hijacking this thread but I do have a similar problem.

I have made lots of objectives aka Evo style within a mission I am making. Once an objective is complete the area turns from yellow to green. Thats working good. The problem arises when other players JIP. On their maps the areas are still yellow.

How can I update the state of the map/objectives to the players that are JIP please?

Store the status of a marker/area on the server in a var... like "Zone1Color".

If a player connects, send the var via publicvariable "Zone1Color" to all clients.

The ebst way to realize this on clients is in adding http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addPublicVariableEventHandler to the init.

Init.sqf

"Zone1Color" addPublicVariableEventHandler {"Zone1Color" setmarkercolor (_this select 1);};

With this you can change the color of a marker global:

Zone1Color=ColorRed;
publicvariable "Zone1Color";
