Thank you Galzohar woohoo, I managed to get it working like this... In editor... tank...(empty)...named "tank". init...tank setVehicleVarName "tank"; nul = [tank, 0, 0, 0, TRUE, FALSE] execVM "vehicle.sqf" man..."crewman"...(playable)...(all 4 not named) man..."crewman"...(playable) man..."crewman"...(playable) man..."crewman"...(playable)...all joined as group - (nothing in init lines). marker...named (respawn_west).

Might be [0,1] instead of [1]! { _x setDammage 0; } forEach _aiCrew; }; not sure how to use respawn script you posted for reference?? tried it and nothing happened?? can you point me in the right direction There is one other question.... if you would be so kind.... How do i use this say for five or six players? I have seen this question of mine come up time and time again here and on other sites and have posted elsewhere without a single reply...you were the first person to help me...Thanks... and after searching (for over a month) and dowloading loads of stuff i never found what i wanted. So if you dont mind i will post this for other people to use on different sites with reference to you for your part of the script? You are most helpful...thank you for your time and effort.....musky:D

Sorry Galzohar...i'm a numpty:(...here goes... I have tried both ways....like this...

Galzohar, can i be so bold as to ask for an example? (if you have time of course) I spent hours last night trying to work the code you kindly wrote. The only thing i could get was a respawn with a driver in tank and me and rest of crew outside of tank? Thanks for all your help:)

Thanks for your reply Galzohar, Yes i need to make the tank respawn but now you have mentioned it i'm not sure if i need the crew to respawn?? may be this would stop them jumping out as the tank get damaged leaving me to fight it out alone??. the idea is once spawned as commander i want to be able to move to gunners seat but still have control of tank movement whilst in as gunner fireing as i go - with machine guns manned by computer generated players and computer generated driver. i have tried resolving this for so long now until my brain n eyes went pop. so to have your help is nothing short of the most exciting thing thats happened this year! thanks loads n loads for your time and skill:D:bounce3:

hi, i am a newbie to posting so here goes... 1. i am creating a multiplayer tank level - where i need, when killed player (me - commander) and all crew (computer generated - driver, gunner, loader) to respawn in tank. (i am hoping to do this for may be 5 or 6 players) the closest i have got to this is by using an init.sqf :- if (!isDedicated) then { player addEventHandler ["KILLED", "execVM 'respawn.sqf']; }; with a respawn.sqf:- waitUntil {alive player}; player moveInDriver tank; - tank being the name of vehicle this works in as much as the crew and tank will respawn with one of the crew in as driver - i then have to get in tank as commander and order other two crew in as both gunners. im not sure why the computr generated player is put in as driver and not me the actual player and have tried to use...... waitUntil {alive player}; player moveInDriver tank; player moveIngunner tank; player moveInturret tank; as my respawn.sqf. this still only put driver in tank on respawn leaving me and crew outside tank as before. i am wondering how i refere to crew to order them into tank in correct positions. my editor is full of different attempts i have made to try and resolve this problem. can someone help me or point me to an example i can adjust or alter to overcome this problem. thanks in advance for any help given.
