Players respawn on bodies, host and AI respawn on respawn point
Nowhere posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
I just cannot get this to work. I made a small mission with a single respawn point (respawn_west) that is set to BLUFOR When I host in multiplayer, I respawn on it successfully. My AI groupmates respawn on it successfully. My friends who connect to my server respawn on their dead bodies. I have gone through countless video tutorials and help threads that explain how to set up a proper spawn point, and followed them exactly. I have made sure the multiplayer attributes of the mission are set to respawn on custom position. I have made sure the only respawn point is the one I have named respawn_west. I have created a description.ext file that says respawn = 3, when that didnt work I tried respawn = "Base", and then respawn = Base; None of these worked. This is getting to be frustrating because everything else works. I respawn as intended, friendly AI respawns as intended. But other players do not. Does anybody have ANY idea of what I could be doing wrong? -
Respawn isn't working for Opfor and sometimes for Blufor
DaRealT posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hello everyone. I could use some help because I really don't know what might be the problem. I'm editing a MP-Mission with a respawn-module for Blufor and one for Opfor (Settings - Typ: Infantry, Side: Opfor/Blufor, Show to: Only the side). I've also placed a respawn-ticket-module set to five for Blufor and Opfor. At least I connected both respawn-modules with the ticket-module. So. What works fine is the ticket system. After more than five deaths the mission ends. But that's not the problem. In the multiplayer settings I set "Respawn on Custom Position" with the settings 'show respawn counter' and 'subtract tickets upon death'. I also activated the scoreboard, the manual respawn and a respawn delay of 10 seconds. So actually I expect the following to happen: After you get killed you see the scoreboard for ten seconds. After this countdown you will automatically spawn at your (Blufor or Opfor) respawn. What really happens: Opfor is spawning at his point of death while Bluefor is mostly spawning at the respawn point but not always. I was testing this with an Opfor and an Blufor Assault Rifleman playing on both sides but also with a friend who was playing the other side. What do I fail to see? I would really appreciate if someone could help you. Thank you! -
respawn Custom respawn template and GUI
Safkon posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hello, I try to create my own custom respawn template (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Respawn) and GUI with list of squads, roles and loadouts. Also I create test mission and set respawn = "BASE"; in description.ext. So, I write script (event handler) onPlayerKilled.sqf, which creates my dialog (GUI) where player can join/create squad, select role and respawn position. Then he click "Respawn" button. Summary steps\flow: Player died onPlayerKilled is invoked My GUI is being created Player choose his loadout and respawn position Player press respawn button My respawn script creates new unit (createUnit), wait 1 second for correct init, give selected loadout to unit and give control to player (selectPlayer) My GUI is closing Player spawned on selected position Now I have several problems with correct player respawn on dedicated server. Here are they: After respawn player loses all tasks If someone kills player again - there is no message in system chat (like somebody kills bot/unit) When a player is in a group led by another player - after respawning, the new unit is controlled by the AI, but the player can shoot and look around, but cannot move I read about last problem in comments for selectPlayer: but also I read about locality and multiplayer https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Multiplayer_Scripting#Locality. In "Locality changes" topic It says: So, selectPlayer changes locality but it still have problem. Also I check locality by owner command, new unit is local. May be because I use createUnit on player machine. This is my short respawn script without extra code: Also default BIS respawn logic don't know about my respawn script and try to respawn player by pre-defined scripts for "BASE" respawn type. And I use terrible hack: setPlayerRespawnTime 900; otherwise BIS default logic spawn player in one of markers "respawn_*". Possible I can solve it by property in custom respawn config (CfgRespawnTemplates) I tried to find any BIS scripts with default respawn logic\functions but without success. Is it possible to create custom respawn template and use some BIS respawn functions, which can tell to engine that I spawned player already? It would solve problems with player group (remove old unit, join new) and new unit issues (control, tasks, etc.) -
Yesterday I set up a mission for a friend so we can do stupid crap and I set up a working respawn system. Now I'm messing with that mission in the eden editor to add some more stuff to it and now respawns aren't working for the players. Vehicles still respawn like normal but now players can respawn

Respawn Position in Building - spawning on Roof.
tattoonation posted a topic in ARMA 3 - EDEN EDITOR
Hey Guys. I have a big Problem with Respawns. I want to make a Teamdeadmatch Scenario with 4 Respawn Positions for each Team in Buildings. The Problem is, everytime when i use Buildings without floor like Tent-Hangars, Medical-Tents or Shets, Player spawns on Roof of the Building instead on Groud IN the Building. What can i do? I hope for some help......thx Tattoo -
How do you make a timer that only displays to the incapacitated players showing them how much time they have left until they bleed out? I tried using hints but ran in to too many problems

[SOLVED] Respawn on specified position - dedicated server
strider42 posted a topic in ARMA 3 - TROUBLESHOOTING
I want to respawn on a specified position on the deck of the USS Freedom. It works fine when running multi-player from the the Eden editor (as a player server). i.e. I respawn at the respawn module position. However when I export the mission and run it on a dedicated server I just respawn were I died. Respawn Position module: Variable name: respawn_west Name: respawn_west Type: Invantry Side: BLUFOR Show to: Everyone Notification: Enabled Attributes > Multiplayer... Respawn: Respawn: Respawn on Custom Position Rulesets: Show respawn counter Respawn Delay: 3 Show Scoreboard: checked Allow Manual Respawn: checked Anyone else seen this behaviour or know what i am doing wrong? S My solution: The issue is associated with trying to use the 'respawn module' on the USS Freedom. It works fine on land. Doing the respawn the classic way using a respawn marker also does not work on the USS Freedom. This time you end up swimming in the water and maybe in the USS Freedom. I resolved this by creating a respawn event handler that placed the player just above their starting point. I used the following code in the init.sqf file, to only run on a client PC: if ( hasInterface ) then { // We are running on a player client. Stri_miss_playerPos = ( getPosASL _player ) vectorAdd [ 0, 0, 0.1 ]; Stri_miss_playerDir = getDir _player; _player addEventHandler [ "Respawn", { params[ "_player", "_corpse" ]; _player setVehiclePosition[ Stri_miss_playerPos, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE" ]; _player setDir Stri_miss_playerDir; } ]; }; -
Hello all, Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere or if this is the wrong thread! I’m building some scenarios, and want to move the respawn position as the mission develops. I’ve been using the below activated by a trigger and with an appropriate marker: "respawn_west" setmarkerpos (getmarkerpos "new_respawn"); And, this has worked excellently for all players in the scenario except me (the host)! I always spawn back at the initial spawn point. Is there a reason why this would not be working for the host but would work for the rest of the players? Thanks, D.

Change player roles/classes and traits on respawn
Ambross posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hi I've been working on setting up respawn loadouts for a mission I am making and while I have figured out how to set up the gear that the player will respawn with but i cant figure out how to change the role (or class I'm not sure of the right term but basically how the player will show up on the map and other players HUD) and the player traits (medic, engineer, etc.) after the player respawns. From what I have learned so far I think that it might not be potable to change the role if I want to use a custom loadout but I at least should be able to change traits. Below are links to a pastebin of my initserver.sqf, onplayerRespawn.sqf and description.ext if needed although I'm pretty sure the problem is in the onplayerRespawn.sqf. initserver.sqf https://pastebin.com/Xv08VPYT onplayerRespawn.sqf https://pastebin.com/Rkr7ynSU description.ext https://pastebin.com/NcAUdaTX Any help with this would be appreciated and I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. Thanks -
So i set up a respawn position logic device and titled the variable name repawn_west, set my multiplayer options to have respawn at custom positon and we are playing as blufor. All of my testing i do in the editor and trying the scenario in SP/MP work perfectly fine. I respawn on the token like i should. As soon as i opened up the server and tested it with a friend he wasn't spawning on the marker, he was spawning on position of death despite me making no changes to the scenario. I can't seem to figure out the problem Edit: it doesn't spawn them on their current death location but at their first death location

Hello everyone, i'm playing Arma 3 with my brothers via LAN, at the start of the mission we have three tickes, all normal, if we consume those tickets we cannot respawn, logic. But when we earn more tickets, they are useless, the game says respawn blocked, why? (the mission is from the game, not custom)

Texture for public server with / whithout mod
SEBiYAM_R6 posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hello everyone To begin, I want to apologize in advance for my English, I am French with a small level of vocabulary, helped by Google Translate. I request your help for the French server that I am finalizing. I got the Invade & Annex mission from Ahoy World and I am facing a small texture problem. Indeed, I created my own textures in a mod but as the server will be public and therefore accessible without mod I apply the standard textures of the game and the rgb colors. So I entered the textures to apply with and without mods in the Functions \ Vehicle \ fn_vsetup02.sqf file and when I connect with the mods, the standard textures are applied. When I launch the server side mod, the moded texture appears as it should but when I reconnect without the mod, the standard textures are not loaded and therefore the vehicles no longer have bodywork. Extract of the code: private _vehicle = _this select 0; if (!alive _vehicle) exitWith {}; private _vehicleType = typeOf _vehicle; [_vehicle] spawn AW_fnc_vehicleInventory; _vehicle lock 0; //=============vehicle specific FBCTexture = isClass (configFile >> "CfgPatches" >> "RETEXTURE_CE"); if (FBCTexture) then { switch (_vehicleType) do { case "B_Truck_01_flatbed_F": { //HMTT Plateau _vehicle setObjectTextureGlobal [0, "\RETEXTURE_CE\Data\HEMTT\truck_01_ext_01_co.paa"]; _vehicle setObjectTextureGlobal [1, "\RETEXTURE_CE\Data\HEMTT\truck_01_ext_02_co.paa"]; }; }; } else { switch (_vehicleType) do { case "I_APC_Wheeled_03_cannon_F": { //Gorgon _vehicle setObjectTextureGlobal [0, "A3\Armor_F_Gamma\APC_Wheeled_03\Data\apc_wheeled_03_ext_co.paa"]; _vehicle setObjectTextureGlobal [1, "A3\Armor_F_Gamma\APC_Wheeled_03\Data\apc_wheeled_03_ext2_co.paa"]; _vehicle setObjectTextureGlobal [2, "A3\Armor_F_Gamma\APC_Wheeled_03\Data\rcws30_co.paa"]; _vehicle setObjectTextureGlobal [3, "A3\Armor_F_Gamma\APC_Wheeled_03\Data\apc_wheeled_03_ext_alpha_co.paa"]; }; }; }; What I would therefore like is that when I connect with my mod, the moded textures appear but when someone connects without the mods, it is the standard textures that apply. In addition, when the vehicle is destroyed and must reappear, the texture must be correctly reapplied to the vehicle depending on whether the player has the mods or not. I know it works locally but I can't seem to find the solution. I have attached the Invade & Annex file to you as an attachment Thank you in advance for your help ! -
Hello, _grp = group _this; _wp = _grp addWaypoint [_rndDest, 0]; _wp setwaypointtype "MOVE"; I have this to add a waypoint from an array (_rndDest) to a unit (playable). This code is executed via execVM when the unit spawn for first time and when die. All is working fine when spawn for first time, but when respawn i get and error in _grp = group _this; The error say something about missing vector. Any help, please? Thanks!

Vehicle respawn with EntityKilled EH
Asmodeuz posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hello, through trial and testing I've arrived to the following format for a vehicle respawn functionality. addMissionEventHandler ["EntityKilled", { params ["_killed", "_killer", "_instigator"]; [_killed] spawn { switch (true) do { case (!alive vehCivSUV_1): {deleteVehicle vehCivSUV_1; _newVehicle2 = "C_SUV_01_F" createVehicle [1263,1298,0]; _newVehicle2 setVehicleVarName "vehCivSUV_1"; vehCivSUV_1 = _newVehicle2; publicVariable "vehCivSUV_1";}; sleep 2; case (!alive vehCivSUV_2): {deleteVehicle vehCivSUV_2; _newVehicle = "C_SUV_01_F" createVehicle [1232,1298,0]; _newVehicle setVehicleVarName "vehCivSUV_2"; vehCivSUV_2 = _newVehicle; publicVariable "vehCivSUV_2";}; }; }; }]; While testing has proven that it works decently enough in a dedicated server there's still at least one edge-case scenario that I'd like to iron out. The edge-case is that should the two vehicles mentioned in the event handlers code be destroyed exactly at the same time the functionality does not work as expected. Should the demise of both vehicles happen at the same time the other vehicle won't be created at all (and the other that gets created will have a duplicate vehicle spawned next to it). So while what I have now works to some degree there should be some changes made to make the functionality more robust. Maybe the switch-do is not the best solution but I have only just arrived to that and don't have off the top of my head any other solution to try. So question for this is that: what would be a more robust way to achieve what I have now and do away with the edge-case scenario at the same time? Another thing would be that the functionality should, if possible, incorporate at least two more vehicles in it. edit: while I know that there's a respawn module available in the editor that can't be used for "reasons" -
Hi, i have the following problem... if i kill somebody on my TDM server he dies and i have a respawn cooldown for 3 seconds... so the death person is 3seconds on the ground and then respawns, but in this millisecond the player respawns is spawning a person with no gear only a blue uniform on the death body, after ~0.5 sek the man despawns and the death body is away, if you kill this blue man the person who was killed will die 1 more time... how can i disable those blues on the death/respawn? *sry for my bad english!*

Hello to everyone from the community! 🙂 I would like to ask for a script that: - creates groups of units by force (from sqf file) and WHEN a trigger is activated and its condition is met. My idea is to: 1.create a group in the EDEN editor and give the unit a callsign X (for example); 2.force spawn the same group when a condition is met in my trigger (it must not exist until this moment, OR be invisible); 3.use the sqf file to check if the ENTIRE group is eliminated and forced respawn it again; 4.have another script from another trigger which could stop spawning the group when another condition is met (for example a visible timer reaches 0 second - such scripts could be used when the player awaits reinforcements and must hold a position for certain time). Here is everything again: [trigger is activated and spawns the X group] ---> [the group is eliminated - checked by the sqf file that also spawns it again] ---> [use a no matter what condition in a 2nd. trigger to stop the respawn /a timer is preferred/] Thank you for the help in advance and cheers! Edit: additional question - can I use multiple groups named X_1, X_2, X_3 etc. and also use multiple sqf files with similar names that work as the first file, only for the next X groups that follow? 🙂

First of all I have to say that I've spend many hours searching and reading things about my "problem" on forum ... no success so far. Now, my story ... I have a coop mission and I need the following conditions to work together: Players that have medikit are the only who can revive (no need to have medic class) Players must have ONLY ONE Respawn ticket (each - not per side) and on their death position (instant respawn), when, there is no enemy on a given distance (they have to wait until area is safe) For all players, when the one Respawn limit have been reached, they will continue as Spectators till all rest (alive) players will be dead (end of the mission - lose) When all players will be dead, mission is fail and ends Please don't point me to read WiKi links as I've already read them, but I can't combine them all together to achieve my goals. Thanks in advance for any help.

Respawn The Object At The Same Position
black_hawk_mw2_87 posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hello, community. I am working on a Coop mission, where I have placed 3 playable units. I will perhaps add more later, depending on my later ideas. They all (including me - the player) need to be able to pick up an item (a specific bagpack - ace_gunbag_Tan). I have placed this object on the ground and I am the only one who can pick it up right now, but it is an important item, being also a protective gear. 😄 So, when I or the other players pick up the first object, the same object should respawn on its previous location after, let us say, 10-15 seconds. It should respawn exactly X times, according to the playable count of units. How do I achieve that? Thank you in advance and cheers! 🙂 -
Disable (custom loadouts) on Respawn

Hey guys, I have preconfigured loadouts for each class in my mission, but when you respawn the (loadout) comes up and let you choose another or even your own custom loadout you have saved. How do I disable this please and just let the person respawn with the loadout I have set for that unit? Image of (loadout) I want to disable: Thank you 🙂 -
Hey all, I am (still :D) trying to create a medical training framework for a unit playing a persistent mission. All is going (quite) good so far and now I am stuck with an issue. The unit uses players to practice medical and some of them die in the process. They have a respawn time (I think is somewhere around to 1 minute, but this is irrelevant) to discourage ramboing. So, the goal is to find a way to respawn instantly (override the normal respawn time) those who didn't make it through the medical practice of their fellow aspirant medics and then move them back to the medical training facility where they died. I believe the second part to be quite easy. Probably with just a setPos (although this may not be the case if I don't have access to the unit object). So, at the moment I am stuck as to how I can instantly repsawn units (but not all units, just specific ones). I have looked at the BI's respawn functions, but there are no examples and the wiki/docs seem to be completely deserted. I did try to use BIS_fnc_respawnInstant but seems that it does NOT do what I want it to do. After quite some time searching I was unable to find something (or was unable to recognize it) that would help me accomplish my task. Any insight, ideas or suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks in advance, Achilles.

Hi, I'm new to Arma and I wanted to know how I can make a soldier revive in a vehicle, so when he dies he always relives in the vehicle (tank) I do not understand any of the scripts if they explain that I have to modify and where I place it examples _unit ay the unit that I want Reviva to that I mean. By the way I'm from another country and I do not understand English so I use the translator for everything Thank you.
