just have a loop that updates the respawn markers position to the position of said vehicle

[Swedda 10]

do i use a respawn_west on this to ? i already have a respawn at base and i guess i cant use same name for both.

[Bellicosity 10]

Yeah you can update that markers position to the vehicle's position. OR you can do like domi does and have some object with an action that teleports them to the vehicles position

If you're using Norrin's Revive Script there's options for a mobile spawn point. It's not teleport though, you just can end up there if you respawn.

Is it that hard to make a proper thread title?

acctually that could work if i could get an ammobox in it to. my thought was, first u get the gear then u teleport to the msp. Do u know if u get to choose if u want to spawn at base or in the msp on that script ?

[kylania 568]

Swedda, yup sure do. You can also respawn with current weapons or what you started the map with.

ty very much, will try that. was thinkig bout if i could use youre code from this thread http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=78269 but i saw that u wrote that it didnt work good in mp.

Norrin's script has been causing major lag/desync on the few missions in our community that have tried it with 20+ players

Ahh, yeah, that's one of the first ArmA2 things I wrote. :) I need to revisit it. heh

[Swedda 10]

well i dl it latest version and absolutly nothing works, have no idea what im doing wrong 9/10 times it says i spawned a unconsious player and there is only black. i can deploy the MSP but when i respawn i just spawn back at where i start the mission.

DOH, need something to eat this is using up all my energy.

[Swedda 10]

i just cant get it to work with my mission so ill leave it be for the moment. so second best thing to do might be to make a trigger on radio to spawn to a vehicle i guess, BUT can someone explain to me how i get a marker to keep following a moving vehicle ?

lol, been working 4-5 hours a day on my mission, just hopes it be good when im finally done, beeing my first mission ever done i just hope ill get it to run smoothly on my server :)

null = [] spawn { while {true} do { "respawn_west" setMarkerPosition (getPos MobileSpawn); sleep 1; }; };

[Swedda 10]

ty very much, but can i name it other then respawn_west cause i already have the "base" spawn i want this as an option.

[Bellicosity 10]

If you make it respawn_west_1 (I think, it might be respawn_west1) then they will randomly spawn between the MSP and the base

Another thing you might do is add an action to a flag like Domi has that says something like

_caller setPos (getPos MSP)

Take a look at this to see what I am talking about

acctually kylania youre script works like a charm on mp to. only thing is that the ammo box floats on top of the lav, other then that its perfect. if u let me i will use that for my mission ?

[kylania 568]

Yeah, I've got no problem with that, use away! It's odd that it's floating though, on my screen it's slightly into the LAV_HQ.

[Swedda 10]

yea whn i looked in the "mission" u made it looks fine. heres how it looks.
