I will send an example of btc working in mp. I have it in a bunch of missions that run on a dedicated server and never had an issue. Just give me a day or so.

Sounds like you just need a revive system. There are a bunch out there so I would waste time reinventing the wheel. BTC revive is first one that come to mind. I implement one see how it worka for you amd make adjustedments accordingly. Just don't forget to credit the orginal author. http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=18955

200 eh. Maybe you might have lag during the spawning. You could spawn randomly placed triggers that fire when a certian side is near to spawn your crates. But I would check the server and your local rpt first. Dub

Here you go. Unzip and place in your arma 3 missions folder. The call to the script is in the init.sqf. This will spawn the crash site attach the smoke. After 300 seconds clean up and spawn it again. Link example: /************************************************************* smoke column example thedubl nul = [] execVM "scripts\smokecolumn.sqf" *************************************************************/ /**************************************************************** function to delete smoke ****************************************************************/ fnc_deleteObj = { _this addMPEventHandler ["MPKilled", { _this = _this select 0; { deleteVehicle _x; } forEach (_this getVariable ["effects", []]); if (isServer) then { deleteVehicle _this; }; }]; _this setDamage 1; }; /**************************************************************** get players position spawn a crashed vehicle and attach smoke ****************************************************************/ _pos = position player; _veh = createVehicle ["Land_UWreck_MV22_F",_pos, [], 0, ""]; _smoke = "test_EmptyObjectForSmoke" createVehicle position _veh; _smoke attachTo[_veh,[0,-6,-2]]; sleep 1; _veh setVehicleVarName "drone";drone = _veh;//give the vehicle a name _crash = missionNamespace setVariable ["crashsite",_veh];// set the name as a global variable so that it broadcasted to all computers. /**************************************************************** //sleep for 300 seconds then run again ****************************************************************/ sleep 300; /******Call the function to delete the smoke*********/ _smoke spawn { sleep 1; _this call fnc_deleteObj; }; deleteVehicle crashsite; null=[] execVM "scripts\smokecolumn.sqf";

Sure, on my way to work, but after I will put together a quick example you can run in the editor.

I used create vehicle to create the smoke effect using "test_EmptyObjectForSmoke" and attach it to the object. Will smoke until you detach and delete. Maybe this will help you.

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setUnitPos Set the prone and set behavior as you spawn them.

Yes. I assume you are using some revive script. Just look in the code for when it sets the damage and adjust accordingly. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setDamage

FYI - that is not being offensive. People just need to have patience.

Example: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11jd59UrT5_HOooWmCYo_gD-1VjscN2z-/view?usp=sharing What I would adjust from the get go. 1.The loitering behavior while the heli waits for smoke or the ir. 2. Disable whomever gets the action until the heli is destroyed or the insertion is complete. How it works. Call the heli via addaction, wait until all is in the heli to click the map, once the map is click you most use the new action "Order Pilot". You select wither insertion or land (if insertion wait until heli stops of insertion point and toss ropes.) once on the ground order the heli back to base. (heli will move to "transportdelete" marker for clean up.) Please note, the heli will find a safe place to land. Not always right next to you. setup: 1. add this to initplayerlocal [[player,[("<t color=""#ff8000"">" + ("Transport") + "</t>"),{_this execVM "scripts\insertion.sqf"},[player],0,false,true, "",'player ==_target']],"addAction",true,true,false] call BIS_fnc_MP; 2.

Ill share it when I get to it (at work). Fyi- my life doesn't revolve around the bis forum. Also, I dont post scripts for the sake of posting. I offered and said pm me since they have already found one. Deal with it.

I have one for you if want it. Pm later and ill send it. Smoke and ir nades to make them land and map click for destination. Can be inserted by fastrope or landing.

I can make an simple mission example which you can copy paste. Give me a day or so.

This should get you going. Review and try it. The pilot/survior will have a add action to join the group. time: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setDate https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/skipTime https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Mission_Parameters basic example: Place the markers for testing ("casualty","casualty_1","casualty_2","casualty_3","casualty_4") private ["_sur","_mkr","_marker","_Pos"]; //variables //Markers placed on the map.
