I did a quick search and tried some of the scripting commands and new functions for the Curator but I can't seem to find a way to add a specific object to the Zeus spawn list. I understand how to add the addons listed in CfgPatches, but some of these lists contain things I do not wish to add. So, does anyone know a way to add(or remove) a specific object to(from) the Zeus list?

The script is for automated vehicle respawn. I have highlighted in red the exact lines I am talking about. /////////////////////////////////// // Simple Vehicle Respawn Script v1.81 for Arma 3 // by Tophe of Östgöta Ops [OOPS] if (!isServer) exitWith {}; // Define variables _unit = _this select 0; _delay = if (count _this > 1) then {_this select 1} else {30}; _deserted = if (count _this > 2) then {_this select 2} else {120}; _respawns = if (count _this > 3) then {_this select 3} else {0}; _explode = if (count _this > 4) then {_this select 4} else {false}; _dynamic = if (count _this > 5) then {_this select 5} else {false}; _unitinit = if (count _this > 6) then {_this select 6} else {}; _haveinit = if (count _this > 6) then {true} else {false}; _hasname = false; //--------------------edited by [JSO]Hicks----------------------- _grupa = group _unit; _hasgroup = false; If (str(_grupa) == "<NULL-group>") then {_hasgroup = false;} else {_hasgroup = true;}; //-------------------end editing by Hicks------------------------ _unitname = vehicleVarName _unit; if (isNil _unitname) then {_hasname = false;} else {_hasname = true;}; _noend = true; _run = true; _rounds = 0; if (_delay < 0) then {_delay = 0}; if (_deserted < 0) then {_deserted = 0}; if (_respawns <= 0) then {_respawns= 0; _noend = true;}; if (_respawns > 0) then {_noend = false}; _dir = getDir _unit; _position = getPosASL _unit; _type = typeOf _unit; _dead = false; _nodelay = false; // Kronzky's code KRON_StrToArray = { private["_in","_i","_arr","_out"]; _in=_this select 0; _arr = toArray(_in); _out=[]; for "_i" from 0 to (count _arr)-1 do { _out=_out+[toString([_arr select _i])]; }; _out }; KRON_StrLen = { private["_in","_arr","_len"]; _in=_this select 0; _arr=[_in] call KRON_StrToArray; _len=count (_arr); _len }; KRON_Replace = { private["_str","_old","_new","_out","_tmp","_jm","_la","_lo","_ln","_i"]; _str=_this select 0; _arr=toArray(_str); _la=count _arr; _old=_this select 1; _new=_this select 2; _na=[_new] call KRON_StrToArray; _lo=[_old] call KRON_StrLen; _ln=[_new] call KRON_StrLen; _out=""; for "_i" from 0 to (count _arr)-1 do { _tmp=""; if (_i <= _la-_lo) then { for "_j" from _i to (_i+_lo-1) do { _tmp=_tmp + toString([_arr select _j]); }; }; if (_tmp==_old) then { _out=_out+_new; _i=_i+_lo-1; } else { _out=_out+toString([_arr select _i]); }; }; _out }; // End of Kronzky's code // Start monitoring the vehicle while {_run} do { [u][color="#FF0000"]sleep (2 + random 10);[/color][/u] if ((getDammage _unit > 0.8) and ({alive _x} count crew _unit >= 0)) then {_dead = true}; // Check if the vehicle is deserted. if (_deserted > 0) then { if ((getPosASL _unit distance _position > 10) and ({alive _x} count crew _unit == 0) and (getDammage _unit < 0.8)) then { _timeout = time + _deserted; sleep 0.1; waitUntil {_timeout < time or !alive _unit or {alive _x} count crew _unit > 0}; if ({alive _x} count crew _unit > 0) then {_dead = false}; if ({alive _x} count crew _unit == 0) then {_dead = true; _nodelay =true}; if !(alive _unit) then {_dead = true; _nodelay = false}; }; }; // Respawn vehicle if (_dead) then { if (_nodelay) then {sleep 0.1; _nodelay = false;} else {sleep _delay;}; if (_dynamic) then {_position = getPosASL _unit; _dir = getDir _unit;}; if (_explode) then {_effect = "M_AT" createVehicle getPosASL _unit; _effect setPosASL getPosASL _unit;}; sleep 0.1; deleteVehicle _unit; sleep 2; _unit = _type createVehicle _position; //--------edited by Hicks----Add crew ---------- --------------- if (_hasgroup) then {createVehicleCrew _unit}; //-------------------end editing by Hicks------------------------ _unit setPosASL _position; _unit setDir _dir; if (_haveinit) then { //_unit setVehicleInit format ["%1;", _unitinit]; //processInitCommands; // Modified by BearBison private ["_IDunit", "_sCommand"]; _IDunit = format["(objectFromNetID '%1')", netID _unit]; _sCommand=[format["%1",_unitinit],"this",format["%1",_IDunit]] call KRON_Replace; // End of code modified by BearBison // Modified by naong and AgentRev [call compile format["[{%1}]",_sCommand], "BIS_fnc_spawn", true, true] spawn BIS_fnc_MP; }; if (_hasname) then { //_unit setVehicleInit format ["%1 = this; this setVehicleVarName ""%1""",_unitname]; //processInitCommands; private "_sCommand"; _sCommand = format["[{(objectFromNetID '%1') setVehicleVarName '%2';}]", netID _unit, _unitname]; [call compile format["%1",_sCommand],"BIS_fnc_spawn", true, true] spawn BIS_fnc_MP; _unit call compile format ["%1=_This; PublicVariable '%1'",_unitname]; }; // End of code modified by naong _dead = false; // Check respawn amount if !(_noend) then {_rounds = _rounds + 1}; if ((_rounds == _respawns) and !(_noend)) then {_run = false;}; }; };

The specific example I'm looking at is: while {_run} do { sleep(2 + random 10); //code }; Everytime the sleep comes around the scripting engine has to calculate a new random number. Wouldn't it be more efficient to sleep with just a constant value?

Why sleep(2 + random 10)? I see it all the time in other's scripts but it doesn't make sense to me. I've tried searching this question and didn't come up with anything. If someone could elaborate it would be appreciated.

I consider this topic resolved.

The script fails to function after a vehicle is destroyed and then re-spawned. I have followed the steps in the previous posts and placed "[_unit] execVM "scripts\transport\classify.sqf";" in the script re-spawning the vehicle however this does not seem to re-apply the script to the vehicle. I use the same re-spawn script(and version) as the last poster. /* ================================================================================================================== Simple Vehicle Respawn Script v1.81 for Arma 3 by Tophe of �stg�ta Ops [OOPS] Put this in the vehicles init line: veh = [this] execVM "vehicle.sqf" Options: There are some optional settings. The format for these are: veh = [object, Delay, Deserted timer, Respawns, Effect, Dynamic] execVM "vehicle.sqf" Default respawn delay is 30 seconds, to set a custom respawn delay time, put that in the init as well. Like this: veh = [this, 15] execVM "vehicle.sqf" Default respawn time when vehicle is deserted, but not destroyed is 120 seconds. To set a custom timer for this first set respawn delay, then the deserted vehicle timer. (0 = disabled) Like this: veh = [this, 15, 10] execVM "vehicle.sqf" By default the number of respawns is infinite. To set a limit first set preceding values then the number of respawns you want (0 = infinite). Like this: veh = [this, 15, 10, 5] execVM "vehicle.sqf" Set this value to TRUE to add a special explosion effect to the wreck when respawning. Default value is FALSE, which will simply have the wreck disappear. Like this: veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE] execVM "vehicle.sqf" By default the vehicle will respawn to the point where it first was when the mission started (static). This can be changed to dynamic. Then the vehicle will respawn to the position where it was destroyed. First set all preceding values then set TRUE for dynamic or FALSE for static. Like this: veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE, TRUE] execVM "vehicle.sqf" If you you want to set the INIT field of the respawned vehicle, first set all other values, then set init commands. Those must be inside quotations. Like this: veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE, FALSE, "this setDammage 0.5"] execVM "vehicle.sqf" Default values of all settings are: veh = [this, 30, 120, 0, FALSE, FALSE] execVM "vehicle.sqf" Contact & Bugreport: cwadensten@gmail.com ================================================================================================================== */ private ["_hasname","_delay","_deserted","_respawns","_noend","_dead","_nodelay","_timeout","_position","_dir","_effect","_rounds","_run","_unit","_explode","_dynamic","_unitinit","_haveinit","_unitname","_type"]; if (!isServer) exitWith {}; // Define variables _unit = _this select 0; _delay = if (count _this > 1) then {_this select 1} else {30}; _deserted = if (count _this > 2) then {_this select 2} else {120}; _respawns = if (count _this > 3) then {_this select 3} else {0}; _explode = if (count _this > 4) then {_this select 4} else {false}; _dynamic = if (count _this > 5) then {_this select 5} else {false}; _unitinit = if (count _this > 6) then {_this select 6} else {}; _haveinit = if (count _this > 6) then {true} else {false}; _hasname = false; _unitname = vehicleVarName _unit; if (isNil _unitname) then {_hasname = false;} else {_hasname = true;}; _noend = true; _run = true; _rounds = 0; if (_delay < 0) then {_delay = 0}; if (_deserted < 0) then {_deserted = 0}; if (_respawns <= 0) then {_respawns= 0; _noend = true;}; if (_respawns > 0) then {_noend = false}; _dir = getDir _unit; _position = getPosASL _unit; _type = typeOf _unit; _dead = false; _nodelay = false; // Start monitoring the vehicle while {_run} do { sleep (2 + random 10); if ((getDammage _unit > 0.8) and ({alive _x} count crew _unit == 0)) then {_dead = true}; // Check if the vehicle is deserted. if (_deserted > 0) then { if ((getPosASL _unit distance _position > 10) and ({alive _x} count crew _unit == 0) and (getDammage _unit < 0.8)) then { _timeout = time + _deserted; sleep 0.1; waitUntil {_timeout < time or !alive _unit or {alive _x} count crew _unit > 0}; if ({alive _x} count crew _unit > 0) then {_dead = false}; if ({alive _x} count crew _unit == 0) then {_dead = true; _nodelay =true}; if !(alive _unit) then {_dead = true; _nodelay = false}; }; }; // Respawn vehicle if (_dead) then { if (_nodelay) then {sleep 0.1; _nodelay = false;} else {sleep _delay;}; if (_dynamic) then {_position = getPosASL _unit; _dir = getDir _unit;}; if (_explode) then {_effect = "M_AT" createVehicle getPosASL _unit; _effect setPosASL getPosASL _unit;}; sleep 0.1; deleteVehicle _unit; sleep 2; _unit = _type createVehicle _position; _unit setPosASL _position; _unit setDir _dir; [b][_unit] execVM "scripts\transport\classify.sqf";[/b] _dead = false; // Check respawn amount if !(_noend) then {_rounds = _rounds + 1}; if ((_rounds == _respawns) and !(_noend)) then {_run = false;}; }; }; Correction: It should be noted that the script does indeed work but I must disconnect from the server and reconnect in order to attach cargo again on a re-spawned vehicle.
