respawn/vehicle respawn

[BC**BennekeBen**]

im kinda new with the editor but i have been making some mission in arma2 and arma3 alpha, to being able to use vehicles that respawn i allways used a vehicle.sqf script.
now with the release of beta they wont work anymore. ive searched around and cant seem to solve it. I also tried the Btc revive script wich has a vehicle respawn option. but it allows me to respawn only 1 vehicle for each side.
If anyone has an idea or has a working version for the Beta let me know!
Invite me @ steam : Bennekeben / / @ x-fire : Bennekeben

Create a description.ext file in your mission folder and then read up :
http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Description.ext#respawn

For vehicle respawning I did this.
in your script or wherever you create the vehicle, just add _vehicle execVM "vehicleinit.sqf";

create a file vehicleInit.sqf in your mission file with this.
////////////////////////
_vehicle = _this;
_vehiclepos = getPos _vehicle;
_vehicledir = getDir _vehicle;
_classname = typeOf _vehicle;
waitUntil{!alive _vehicle};
sleep 5;
deleteVehicle _this;
sleep 30;
_vehicle = _classname createVehicle _vehiclepos;
_vehicle setPos _vehiclepos;
_vehicle setDir _vehicledir;
_vehicle execVM "vehicleInit.sqf";

Ive tried this but still no luck for me

I paste my current script i made to test the info u gave me
Take a look maybe u see anymistakes because this is all new to me.

It coud sound lazy but its not.. somebody paste working scripts here? ;)

There is a chance im forgetting to add simple things but im just not that expirianced with the commen signs/commands

This are my current scripts maybe the more experianced person can see the mistakes i made?

Vehicleinit.sqf ( to me this is not correct/missing alot of to do's)


_vehicle = _this;
_vehiclepos = getPos _vehicle;
_vehicledir = getDir _vehicle;
_classname = typeOf _vehicle;
waitUntil{!alive _vehicle};
sleep 5;
deleteVehicle _this;
sleep 30;
_vehicle = _classname createVehicle _vehiclepos;
_vehicle setPos _vehiclepos;
_vehicle setDir _vehicledir;
_vehicle execVM "vehicleInit.sqf";

with this u get an error adding the exec VM"blabla" in the init of the vehicle i want to respawn

Error : _vehicle execVM "vehicleInit.sqf , error message : Local variable in global space
i used simular script like this in the alpha.

For direct communication plz add me on Steam or Xfire.

respawn features only work in multiplayer environments. did you export it to multiplayer missions and test it by hosting a server(it can be LAN, doesn't matter)

[Ed!]

and also when putting stuff in the init line in the editor. You refer to "this" and not "_vehicle".

[BC**BennekeBen**]

Yes its multiplayer and when i try this vehicle execVM "vehicleinit.sqf"; it gives an error of a missing ";" >> it shows error >> this|#|vehicle execVM "vehicleinit.sqf";
When i try >> this execVM "vehicleinit.sqf"; it shows error >> Type Script, Expect Nothing

maybe i did something wrong in the vehicleinit.sqf ?

[Ed!]

nah. try then to give your vehicle that you placed a name and then in the init.sqf add
vehiclename execVM "vehicleInit.sqf";

[Agsfd]

DatBro can u help me pls i named the vehicle it spawned but only once where it stands at mission beggining thats where i need but need it repetadely i used ur script from the first post says something about vehicle position error dunno if this is something

3 steps a vehicleinit.sqf ,a init.sfq, and a vehicle name -> vehicle_1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vehicleinit.sqf
---------------------

_vehicle = _this;
_vehiclepos = getPos _vehicle;
_vehicledir = getDir _vehicle;
_classname = typeOf _vehicle;
waitUntil{!alive _vehicle};
sleep 5;
deleteVehicle _this;
sleep 30;
_vehicle = _classname createVehicle _vehiclepos;
_vehicle setPos _vehiclepos;
_vehicle setDir _vehicledir;
_vehicle execVM "vehicleInit.sqf";
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Init.sfq
-----------
vehicle_1 execVM "vehicleInit.sqf";
vehicle_2 execVM "vehicleInit.sqf";
------------------------------------------------------
To make more vehicles respawn add more lines to the init.sqf

Example > vehicle_3 execVM "vehicleInit.sqf";
vehicle_4 execVM "vehicleInit.sqf";
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
When both scripts added to your Multiplayer mission go to the editor and name the vehicles u want to respawn >> vehicle_1 , vehicle_2 ,...so on so on..

If you have 10 vehicles u want to respawn u need to name them and add a line for them in the init. doesnt matter if its air,car,armored aslong its named vehicle_randomnumberhere
