init gone when respawning?

[dematti 10]

Hi,

How can I put something in the init field for a respawned unit.

The respawn script that I have makes the soldier lose his init when he dies and respawns.

Thx

Add this to your respawn script:

unit setVehicleInit "blah blah blah";
processInitCommands;

unit setVehicleInit "blah blah blah";

Nice, thx

Does this work for all the units in my group?

I have a respawn script that respawns the whole group...

[Fuzzy Bandit 10]

Post the respawn script and I'll have a look.

This should work. Added code highlighted in red. Change it as you need.

Never really uses Norrin's revive script before. I think that should work. We'll see eh? :D

[dematti 10]

i'm sorry that doesn't work.

They respawn and then stand still (they dont move to their first waypoint)

I also have a vehicle respawn, added the same line there,

in that script normally soldiers respawn next to the vehicle, then board it and move to their wp's. Now they dont enter the vehicle and dont move.

Vehicle respawn script:

thanks for your help though, been trying for hours so i appreciate it:)

[dematti 10]

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

[shuko 59]

Strings inside a string need to be quoted with single quote ('string') or with double double quote (""string"").

[dematti 10]

ok, that was pretty logical.

was thinking about changing it, but I thought it wouldn't matter.

Thanks shk, another lesson learned:)

[Riserburn504 0]

I have run into this issue as well, and I was wondering what I am doing wrong...

Using a script from Norrin I am trying to add an init to each soldier that gets spawned as well. I understand strings inside of strings need either ' or "" but i can't seem to get it to work.

the script:

if (!isServer) exitWith {};

_unit = _this select 0;

_lives = _this select 1;

_delay = _this select 2;

_respawn_point = _this select 3;

_move_script = _this select 4;

_group = _this select 5;

_side = _this select 6;

_AI_unitArray = _this select 7;

_AI_magArray = _this select 8;

_AI_wepArray = _this select 9;

_unitsGroup = units (group _unit);

while {(count _unitsGroup) > 0} do

{

_remainingUnits = [];

{if (alive _x) then {_remainingUnits = _remainingUnits + [_x]}} forEach _unitsGroup;

_unitsGroup = _remainingUnits;

sleep 1;

};

deleteGroup _group;

if (_lives == 0) exitWith {};

_lives = _lives - 1;

_wait = Time + _delay;

waitUntil {Time > _wait};

_group = createGroup _side;

{_x createUnit [(getMarkerPos _respawn_point), _group];} forEach _AI_unitArray;

sleep 2;

//hint "AI respawn";

_unitsGroup = units _group;

{_x disableAI "MOVE"} forEach _unitsGroup;

for [{ _loop = 0 },{ _loop < count _unitsGroup},{ _loop = _loop + 1}] do

{

_guy = _unitsGroup select _loop;

removeAllWeapons _guy;

{_guy removeMagazine _x} forEach magazines _guy;

removeAllItems _guy;

{_guy addMagazine _x} forEach (_AI_magArray select _loop);

{_guy addWeapon _x} forEach (_AI_wepArray select _loop);

_guy selectWeapon (primaryWeapon _guy);

_guy setSkill (_AI_skillArray select _loop);

sleep 0.1;

};

{_x enableAI "MOVE"} forEach _unitsGroup;

_leader = leader _group;

[_leader, _lives, _delay, _respawn_point, _move_script, _group, _side, _AI_unitArray,_AI_magArray, _AI_wepArray]

execVM "AI_respawn\AI_respawn.sqf";

[_leader] execVM _move_script;

if (true) exitWith {};

My latest attempt

_guy setVehicleInit "addEventHandler [""killed"", {_this execVM 'f_removeBody.sqf'}]"; processInitCommands;

I have tried several different things, but I'm just wondering if someone that actually knows how to script could help.

thanks in advance!

[A-SUICIDAL 11]

I'm not sure how or where to apply

unit setVehicleInit "blah blah blah";
processInitCommands;

I am not using a respawn script, but instead I am simply using a respawn_west marker and the following script in the description.ext

respawn = base;

The players on my team respawn and none of their init stuff works and I don't know what to do and it's ruining everything.

Please. I really need help with this.
