Came across this post while I was looking for something else and I don't know if you still want this but here's the most recent version of my vrs_AI script that sets the name of the respawning vehicle to the name given in the editor. It also allows you to specify the empty and destroyed respawn times for individual vehicles.
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> //BEGIN vrs_AI_general.sqf
//Script by norrin March 2007
//Based upon KaRRiLLioN's original vrs.sqf script modified for use with playable and non-playable AI units
//Contact me at [EMAIL=norrins_nook@<hidden>]norrins_nook@<hidden>[/EMAIL]
//IMPORTANT: ADD A GAMELOGIC NAMED Server
//to the mission to prevent multispawn
//to run this script place the following code in the init line of the vehicle:
// v = [this, "vehicle name", x, y] execVM "vrs_AI_general.sqf"
//where x and y are the times you wish to set for the vehicle empty respawn delay and vehicle destroyed respawn delay
//Note: the vehicle name must be in quotation marks eg. if vehicle name Hmm1 it must appear in the init line as "Hmm1"
private ["_vcl","_respawndelay","_vclemptydelay","_dir","_pos","_type","_unit","_run","_wait","_delay"];
if (!local Server) exitWith {};
_vcl = _this select 0;
_name_vcl = _this select 1;
_vclemptydelay = _this select 2;
_respawndelay = _this select 3;
_dir = Getdir _vcl;
_pos = Getpos _vcl;
_type = typeOf _vcl;
_run = TRUE;
sleep 5;
for [{}, {_run}, {_run}] do
{
while {_vcl distance _pos < 5 && canMove _vcl} do
{
sleep 1;
};
while {canMove _vcl && count crew _vcl > 0 && ({damage _x}forEach crew _vcl)!= 1} do
{
_wait = Time + _vclemptydelay;
sleep 1;
};
while {canMove _vcl && count crew _vcl < 1 && Time < _wait} do
{
sleep 1;
};
while {canMove _vcl && {damage _x} forEach crew _vcl >= 1 && Time < _wait} do
{
sleep 1;
};
_delay = Time + _respawndelay;
while {!canMove _vcl && Time < _delay} do
{
sleep 1;
};
if (count crew _vcl < 1) then
{
deleteVehicle _vcl;
_vcl = _type createVehicle _pos;
_vcl setVehicleVarName _name_vcl;

if ({damage _x} forEach crew _vcl >= 1)then
{
deleteVehicle _vcl;
_vcl = _type createVehicle _pos;
_vcl setVehicleVarName _name_vcl;
_vcl setdir _dir;

_vcl setvelocity [0,0,0];
_vcl setpos _pos;

You can down load the script from here: http://home.iprimus.com.au/simonns....tro.rar (http://home.iprimus.com.au/simonnsl/norrinsArmA/vrs_AI_general.Intro.rar)
In the init line of the unit you'll need to put something like this
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> v = [this, "vehicle name", x, y] execVM "vrs_AI_general.sqf"[/QUOTE]
where the vehicle name is the name given in the editor in quotation marks (eg "Hummer1", "Chopper2" etc) and x is the respawn time for the vehicle when empty and y is the respawn time after it has been destroyed.
Don't forget to add a gamelogic called server to stop multiple vehicle respawning.
