Hey I just created this script it respawns soldiers as the were when the script was initialized,

some credits goes to doolittle because I got the basic idea from his vehicle respawn script

description.ext should be set to something like this
respawn = 3
respawndelay = 1000

(respawndelay should be higher then the respawn used in the script) so I just set it to 1000 in my missions,

and remember to put a game logic named Server in the game :-)

the init of the script is  [Soldier,delay] exec "soldierRespawn.sps" in the init field after any weapons have been added to the soldier

tell me what you think

by the way at the moment its only player compatible, dont use it for AI respawning they dont shoot at you when they are respawned this way

i know you wrote this quite a while ago, but i just started my first map today and you have solved ALL my problems. i was JUST looking at that damned vehicle respawn script and thought "you know, there HAS to be a way to apply this to troops". well done sir...well done.

There is a problem with this. If an AI unit killed the soldier, then after the soldier is respawned no Ai units will target it. A better way to do it is to delete the soldier then use the createUnit command to make a new soldier. This new soldier will now be targetable by AI units.
