Vehicle Respawn with into and custome armorments still intact

[Gunnykat 10]

Ok I found alot of Vehicle respawn scripts but none save the into and armorment load setings I added to them. So what do I do to get these to stay.:confused:

[kylania 568]

Tophe's Simple Respawn Script retains the init field.

[Gunnykat 10]

Wow how did I miss that one doh thanks. So do you have any maps that you have made you seem to know alot.

[kylania 568]

107 items in my mission folder and only one is a map I consider complete. :)

[Gunnykat 10]

lol wow that might be my mission folder one day. hehe.

[shuko 59]

67 items, 3 missions that are done, not a great percentage here either. :)

[Gunnykat 10]

Ok here is a good question. I need my tow vehicle to come back with this in the into. nul = [this] execVM "tow\mount_vcl_init.sqf"; and with trying to add it like the person who made this respawn script. I get this error. Missing ].

veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE, FALSE, "this setPosASL [position this select 0, position this select 1, 15.9]; nul = [this] execVM "tow\mount_vcl_init.sqf"; this setDammage 0.5"] execVM "vehicle.sqf";this setPosASL [position this select 0, position this select 1, 15.9];nul = [this] execVM "tow\mount_vcl_init.sqf";

Try double "", around the script names, like ""tow\mount_vcl_init.sqf""

[Gunnykat 10]

Ok I did that but still a Missing ] error

veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE, FALSE, "nul = [this,"car"] execVM "mountOnC130\mount_vcl_init.sqf""this setPosASL [position this select 0, position this select 1, 15.9]"] execVM "vehicle.sqf"this setPosASL [position this select 0, position this select 1, 15.9];nul = [this,"car"] execVM "mountOnC130\mount_vcl_init.sqf";

Applied to all script name obviously, they are strings inside a string basically. You are missing semicolons between thing as well.

[kylania 568]

veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE, FALSE, "this setPosASL [position this select 0, position this select 1, 15.9]; nul = [this] execVM ""tow\mount_vcl_init.sqf""; this setDammage 0.5"] execVM "vehicle.sqf";
this setPosASL [position this select 0, position this select 1, 15.9];
nul = [this] execVM "tow\mount_vcl_init.sqf";

Edit: Oh, you changed the code again, this is your updated code, notice that anything BETWEEN " " needs double quotes, or use single quotes instead:

veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE, FALSE, "nul = [this,'car'] execVM 'mountOnC130\mount_vcl_init.sqf'; this setPosASL [position this select 0, position this select 1, 15.9]"] execVM "vehicle.sqf";
this setPosASL [position this select 0, position this select 1, 15.9];
nul = [this,"car"] execVM "mountOnC130\mount_vcl_init.sqf";

Ack now when I start load lifting my moble HQ with my Sea Hawk a missle comes out of no where and blows it up lol. Must have something to do with his spawn script.

[kylania 568]

Do you have enemy aircraft anywhere near?

[Gunnykat 10]

nope its the tow missle animation he has to make explosion befor respawn. There are no Enemys on this map yet.

Edited September 12, 2009 by Gunnykat

[kylania 568]

Ahh, right, change your code to this:

veh = [this, 15, 18000, 0, FALSE, FALSE, "nul = [this,'car'] execVM 'mountOnC130\mount_vcl_init.sqf'; this setPosASL [position this select 0, position this select 1, 15.9]"] execVM "vehicle.sqf";
this setPosASL [position this select 0, position this select 1, 15.9];
nul = [this,"car"] execVM "mountOnC130\mount_vcl_init.sqf";

That will give you 15 seconds after destruction till it respawns, 5 hours of idle time on the ground (you had it at 10 seconds abandoned, which it would be while towing) and the first FALSE there turns off the explosive respawn. :) I also changed it from 5 limited respawns to unlimited.

[Gunnykat 10]

lol doh

man I read it as close as I could. When will I catch on to this codeing lol. You are the most help in the world. I can't wait till Mr. Murry puts out his book on Arma 2 scripting. Cause I am not sure how much is still like Arma. I sure have learnd alot this week ty.

[kylania 568]

Glad to help :)

[Gunnykat 10]

Ok did the change same thing its only when I get it in the air. I wonder if its something in the main script.

 Simple Vehicle Respawn Script v1.6
 by Tophe of Östgöta Ops [OOPS]

 Put this in the vehicles init line:
 veh = [this] execVM "vehicle.sqf"


 Options:
 There are some optional settings. The format for these are:
 veh = [this, Delay, Deserted timer, Respawns, Effect, Static] execVM "vehicle.sqf"


 Default respawn delay is 30 seconds, to set a custom
 respawn delay time, put that in the init as well. 
 Like this:
 veh = [this, 15] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

 Default respawn time when vehicle is deserted, but not
 destroyed is 120 seconds. To set a custom timer for this 
 first put the respawn delay, then the deserted vehicle timer-
 Like this:  
 veh = [this, 15, 10] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

 By default the number of respawns is infinite. To set a limit
 First set the other values then the number of respawns you want (0 = infinite).
 Like this:
 veh = [this, 15, 10, 5] execVM "vehicle.sqf"


 Set this value to TRUE to add a special explosion effect to the wreck when respawning.
 Default value is FALSE, which will simply have the wreck disappear.
 Like this:
 veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

 By default the vehicle will respawn to the point where it first
 was when the mission started (static). This can be changed to 
 dynamic. Then the vehicle will respawn to the position where it was destroyed. 
 First set all the other values then set TRUE for dynamic or FALSE for static.
 Like this:
 veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE, TRUE] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

 If you you want to set the INIT field of the respawned vehicle, first set all other 
 values, then set init commands. Those must be inside quotations.
 Like this:
 veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE, FALSE, "this setDammage 0.5"] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

 Default values of all settings are:
 veh = [this, 30, 120, 0, FALSE, FALSE] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

Doh I think I found it lol. I had to put the same time on the HQ not just the choper lol. duh. I think its all good now.

[tophe 69]

I'm having 1.7 of that script out this weekend. Not a big change but just thought I'd tell you. Happy to see you got it working.

[kylania 568]

Great news Tophe. I absolutely love that script!

[tophe 69]

Thx Kylania. And thanks for the PM feedback. We're on the same track...
