Spawning like commander

[puzzola 10]

Hi all, I'm trying to create my first mission.

I used queshkibrul island, Pedagne mod and some terrorist.

here the complete list of addons:

"ASZ_Men_DES",

"asz_cc",

"asz_needed_weapons",

"ffaa_terrorista",

"3LB_SA6",

"catracked2_bmp3",

"CAWheeled",

"CAWheeled_Pickup",

"CATracked",

"vilas_ru_veh_forces",

"ASZ_Air",

"ASZ_Tracked",

"ASZ_Wheel",

"asz_motorbike",

"queshkibrul"

I menaged to create 2 group of 12 infantrymen each one lead by an officer and set the respawn to base.

The respawn works, but sometimes I respawn again as leader of the squad, others like a member. If so I'm ordered to dismount from vehicles and can't ride any.

Do you have any idea were' the problem.

Maybe when I die alone it's all right and not if destroyed in a vehicle or with some AI?

Thank you very much

Sorry for upping, but anyone can say me if this is a bug or I did sometihing wrong?

One last question:

I would like to end the mission with the elimination of the OPFOR.

Is it enough if i put a trigger activated by: OPFOR, once, non present, large like the map, detected=not specified, type: end#1?

Thank you again

The trigger worked!

For the problem in respawning it seams happening only if I die on a Mangusta

What happens when you die is that the second in command takes over. You need to make sure you get command back, possibly by trying to set yourself to a higher rank in the editor, or to just use a command to set you as leader.

[puzzola 10]

Exactly, 2 takes command even if I am captain and He sgt.

I'll try with the script.

Must I paste it inte description interface of the leader?

Thank you very much

[galzohar 31]

No, you have to make a script that will run every time you respawn, for example by running the script by placing this addEventHandler ["KILLED", "_this execVM 'promotetoleader.sqf';"]; in the leader's init line, and have the promotetoleader.sqf script have:

_unit = _this select 0;
waitUntil {alive _unit};
group _unit selectLeader _unit;

[puzzola 10]

I paste the script this addEventHandler ["KILLED", "_this execVM 'promotetoleader.sqf';"]; in the initialization window of the officer, and create a file promotetoleader.sqf in which i paste only the script:

_unit = _this select 0;

waitUntil {alive _unit};

group _unit selectLeader _unit;

It does not work and I think is something to do with the fact the mission is Multiplayer and there's not a "unit"

I placed 2 group of six playable charachters........maybe change unit with player:confused:......I'm trying

[galzohar 31]

Did it work on the first respawn? You probabably need to also add _unit addEventHandler ... at the end of the promotetoleader.sqf to re-add the event handler to the newly respawned unit.

Anyway, you probably want to check the arma2.rpt file for errors and/or run the game with the -showScriptErrors parameter

[puzzola 10]

no way, I tried with _player addEventHandler

or _player addEventHandler ["KILLED", "_this execVM 'promotetoleader.sqf';"]; but it does work only the first time, now I try with _unit addEventHandler and then going to sleep

Thank you very much I'll tell you the result

Goodnight
