Respawn Into other members of squad

[Tank116]

What command allows me to respawn into another unit within my squad in a single player mission.  Your help in this would be greatly appreciated.

maybe I wasnt clear enough but im sure you most of  you have played missions where you as the leader have died and then respawned as your second in command right?  What makes this happen?

I'm afraid you simply cannot respawn in single player... at least no one has of yet found a way.

If you check out the Respawn Thread in the MP Editing forum, you'll see the code to respawn as the remaining soldiers in your group in a Multi-player game....

However that's the best I can do for you I'm afraid... unless some bright spark has managed to find a work around for single player while I was on holiday?

ok lets see a two line text file and I cant get it to work
I made a text file according to Pope Zog's tutorial.

respawn=4;
respawndelay=20;

saved it to my mission's file (sqm) in my user names folder as discription.ext
opened it in the editor
made sure all other members in my squad were set to playable
exported it to multiplayer missions
and it doesnt work

so then I downloaded the UnPBO  decoder to ensure that the file discription.ext file was exported from my (sqm) to the (pbo) file correctly and there it was.

from there I thought well maybe its not in there in the correct file format so I took a multiplayer mission that I know the respawn works and decoded that  file and its discription.ext was the same.

from there I copied their discription.ext to my missions (sqm) file and exported again still no respawn :'(

so I decided to take the multiplayer mission that I decoded and use its template to make a quick mission knowing that its respawn discription.ext is working properly made the mission exported and guess what? I hate birds because that all I become time after time.

Is there something simple im messing up maybe  exporting wrong not restarting ofp I have done a search of respawn in the forums database and have seen the same problem addressed but could not get the reply's that corrected his problem.

I hate to revert back to Sonic the Hedgehog for my gaming pleasure but it seems that is where my editor skills are at.
