Is anyone else getting this error in the editor when hitting Preview? image It seems to happen only when I have a Game Logic unit Zeus and the required zeus modules inserted. This is without any mods activated. No Steam cache integrity errors either.

I can see a great PVP potential in this. How about this: Every team gets their own Zeus, who acts like a HQ. The HQ only sees their side as icons and has limited resources to spawn new vehicles etc. It's actually possible via editor to limit the area which a certain Zeus can edit so they could spawn units only to the head quarters, bit like in RTS games. The HQs are given tasks to complete to gain more resources to spend on spawning stuff. For example OPFOR team (with their Zeus) has conquered a village that BLUFOR now has to take back. If successful, the BLUFOR Zeus gets a specific amount of resource currency to spend on new items. How about the Zeus has to disable AA sites of the enemy to get access to choppers? Such possibilities, no?

It's nice to see some people are getting actual help and examples. If someone here would be able to help a fellow noob with this: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?165826-Escape-From-Altis-style-respawn-how-to-do/ I'd very much appreciate it! EDIT: I apologize for hijacking the thread..

I still don't understand what I'm supposed to do. It's easy to just say put something somewhere without actually helping. But hey, what more can you expect from a fellow Finn.. :rolleyes:

Is there no one who could help? The idea is that when you die, you get window where you can choose which alive team member to spawn next to after the allocated time has passed. EDIT: is there a way to get my hands on to the actual mission? Can the official mission .pbos be found somewhere so that one could unpack them and see how they are done?

I still can't get the menu to open up when I die. I know I'm supposed to be using "respawnTemplates[] = {"MenuPosition"};" but where is it used and how? I want to be able to get the menu and select a group member to spawn to.

Well that is what I have in place AT THE MOMENT. That is what I want to change so it works like in the 'Escape From Altis' mission.

Ah, thank you. So I take it it's the SIDE option to get the dialogue.

So, I want to recreate the respawn system used in 'Escape From Altis'. I have a similar system in place, but instead of being able to choose the player to spawn to, you spawn where you died. I want this to be exactly like in the bohemia mission 'Escape From Altis'. Could anyone give any pointers? Please and thank you.

I am having big problems with arma 2 I just bought (english copy).. I installed the game and downloaded patch 1.04. By the time the patcher reaches weapons.pbo it just freezes my computer. I mean NOTHING is responding not even mouse. I'm running Windows 7 64bit - maybe this is the problem? EDIT: Third time around the patcher worked perfectly.
