I did...

In the onAct of your trigger put the code I posted above. Change player to whatever object you want it to move to. Change "markerName" to whatever the name of your marker is, "respawn_west" I imagine?

thank you man i finally find out how it will work

this is the code

"respawn_west" setMarkerPos getPos respawn_west2;

respawn_west is my primary respawn point in the game after a mission is finished i want a new respawn place so i made a new marker calld respawn_west2 and tell the engin throw a trigger if the mission completed then set the respawn to respawn_west2 and it worked perfectly with no problems

cooooooooooool

now my poor soliders dont need to travel 5000 m to finish the mission:bounce3:

\o/ Glad I could help. It's always nice saving people a 5000m run :)

Another method for this is via "teleport". Using the following script for example on a flag pole near your respawn_west to teleport to respawn_west2. That way they can respawn to base, rearm or whatever, then teleport forward to your second marker.

// Teleports a person to the marker. You can place this marker anywhere on the map.
//
// To use: Add this script as an action on an item via it's init field. EG:
//
//this addAction["Dest Description","teleport.sqf",["markerName"]];
//
//this addAction ["Teleport - Talon","teleport.sqf",["FOB_Talon"]];
//this addAction ["Teleport - Base","teleport.sqf",["Base"]];
//this addAction ["Teleport - Airfield","teleport.sqf",["Airstrip"]];

// Get the destination.
_dest = (_this select 3) select 0;

// Get a random direction
_dir = random 359;

// Move the person 15 meters away from the destination (in the direction of _dir)
player SetPos [(getMarkerPos _dest select 0)-10*sin(_dir),(getMarkerPos _dest select 1)-10*cos(_dir)];

This is exactly what i am looking for - can you explain it a little more.

Example:

i have 3 locations to teleport to.

i add to the init of the flagpole: addAction["teleport - Squad 1","teleport.sqf",["Squad_1"]]; addAction["teleport - Squad 2","teleport.sqf",["Squad_2"]]; addAction["teleport - Squad 3","teleport.sqf",["Squad_3"]];

and then place those 3 marker with the name Squad_1 till 3 on the map.

make an teleport.sqf with the script as you writing but where in the script do i put the marker names?

I have a question.

Is TELEPORTING the only way to make CTI/Warfare-style respawn to multiple positons?
