Vehicle Safezone Protection ?

[kujina]

I have finished a small C&H map - one town, a few vehicles each side (no vehicle respawn) and player spawn protection.

After lots of play testing online, it needs to have vehicle protection in the respawn areas, as I dont want normal vehicle respawn. I want to implement a way so if a vehicle is destroyed in your respawn/safezone area by the opposite team it will respawn, or as a punishment respawn as a better vehicle.

Please help as my mission wont feel finished without this feature.

...Thanks...

Does anybody know if you can you use eventhandler "killed" (or "hit") on an empty vehicle?    The array returned by the eventhandler includes the unit that did the killing:  if it's from the opposite side then you know what to do.   If it's from the same side then you could make it respawn as a worse vehicle as punishment for them ;D

Yeap, I can confirm that it does.

I'm using it on Ammo crates (of all things ;D) to set off an 'ammo explosion' script in an outro...

So for this situation, you would simply use something like:

vehicle AddEventhandler ["Killed", {_this select 1 exec "spawnscript.sqs"}]

And the killer of the vehicle would be passed as an arguement to spawnscript.sqs

Thanks for the replys so far guys!

Forgive me but I'm pretty new to mission editing so I need to get this clear, step by step.
The following is what I think I need to do and questions I have.

A. Am I right in thinking I need to name the vehicles I want this to take effect on i.e - V1,V2,V3 etc?

B. create a trigger and place it in the safezone areas. Enter vehicle AddEventhandler ["Killed", {_this select 1 exec "spawnscript.sqs"}] in the On Activation box
    Question 1: What should I select in the Activation drop down box?
    Question 2: Do I need to type anything else in the Condition and On Deactivation boxes?

C. create a script - this is what I have so far...
       
;--------------------------------------------------
?!(local Server): Goto "end"
_vcl = _this select 0
_respawndelay = 10

#start
~1
?(Canmove _vcl):Goto "start"

~_respawndelay
deleteVehicle _vcl
createUnit Unit name?
goto "end"

#end
Exit
;--------------------------------------------------

Also I dont know what you mean by "the killer of the vehicle would be passed as an arguement"?
