Respawn Question

[Richard Nicholls]

I'm trying to make a mission for both MP and SP play. I'm very new to editing for either OPF or ArmA. I have almost cracked the mission thing but i'm stuck on the spawns.

In MP play I want the characters to move to one of the AI when they are killed (assuimng that there are any AI left). For the MP version of the mission I have all of the units set as playable - however, when I get hit and die I spawn into a seagul. Same happens when I just select to respawn.

I guess that I am doing something simple wrong - but I have no idea what to do. I've looked on the forums but I can only find reference to proper respawns.

Any help will be appreciated.

In the description.ext you can try defining the respawn type as group, but this limits the respawn to units in your group only ( i think).

Thanks for that - it works

add the following script in  description.ext
----------------------
respawn=X;
respawndelay=Y;
-----------------------

X: respawn type
Y: in seconds

resp
1. "seagull" turn into a seagull
2. "instant" respawn   where you die
3. "base" respawn at base
4. respawn with team( you will use AI's slot )
5. respawn with team( instantly)
6. no respawn.

you have to put a marker named  respawn_west  or respawn_east after set X=4

this is a way to let players respawn and take no AI slots :
--------------------
#LOOP1
"respawn_west" setMarkerPos position leader group1 
~10
goto "LOOP1"
