MP respawn parameters selectable?

Is there a way to make the respawn parameters in MP maps selectable? Usually they have to be defined within Description.ext:

Respawndelay = 3;
Respawn = 3;
RespawnVehicle = 0;
RespawnVehicleDelay = 3;

As far as I know, this file does not allow scripting code, such as

RespawnDelay = paramsArray select x;
Respawn = paramsArray select y;

Nor is it possible to define these parameters within another sqf-file (?)

id like to know this as well, and also if its possible ingame via a script to get what

Respawndelay = ?;

Respawn = ?;

RespawnVehicle = ?;

RespawnVehicleDelay = ?;

Maybe try this:

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Config_Parser

maybe something like:

Respawn = __EVAL(paramsArray select 0);

also if its possible ingame via a script to get what

Respawndelay = ?;

Respawn = ?;

RespawnVehicle = ?;

RespawnVehicleDelay = ?;

An example:

_respawn = getText(missionConfigFile >> "respawn");
if (_respawn == "") then {
   _respawn = getNumber(missionConfigFile >> "respawn");
};

Just keep in mind that a config entry can either be a string, a number or an array (you can check it with isText, isNumber or isArray).

Those params can't be changed ingame, at least not without some tricks (like respawndelay with setPlayerRespawnTime).

Respawn = __EVAL(paramsArray select 0);

This would be cool but description.ext gets parsed quite early (multiple times btw) and paramsArray is not yet defined then.

sweet tnx Xeno, testing now.

Edit: working perfectly.

Edit2: for me it was getting the respawntype and respawndelay, wich i did like this:

if (_unit in playableUnits) then {
_respawn = getText(missionConfigFile >> "respawn");
if (_respawn == "") then {
	_respawn = getNumber(missionConfigFile >> "respawn");
};
if ((str(_respawn)) == "0" OR (str(_respawn)) == "NONE") then {_respawn = "NONE"};
if ((str(_respawn)) == "1" OR (str(_respawn)) == "BIRD") then {_respawn = "BIRD"};
if ((str(_respawn)) == "2" OR (str(_respawn)) == "INSTANT") then {_respawn = "INSTANT"};
if ((str(_respawn)) == "3" OR (str(_respawn)) == "BASE") then {_respawn = "BASE"};
if ((str(_respawn)) == "4" OR (str(_respawn)) == "GROUP") then {_respawn = "GROUP"};
if ((str(_respawn)) == "5" OR (str(_respawn)) == "SIDE") then {_respawn = "SIDE"};
_respawnDelay = getNumber(missionConfigFile >> "respawnDelay");

_respawnArr = [_respawn,_respawnDelay];

An example:

_respawn = getText(missionConfigFile >> "respawn");
if (_respawn == "") then {
   _respawn = getNumber(missionConfigFile >> "respawn");
};

Could you write some more detailed instructions on how and where I write what I had in "mission parameters" Respawn select.

I need to have two settings:

Normal (respawn = 3, respawnTemplates [] = {"f_spectator", "f_JIP", "MenuPosition"};)

Hardcore (respawn = 1, respawnTemplates [] = {"f_spectator", "f_JIP"};)

sweet tnx Xeno, testing now.

AHA! Just what I was looking for : -) Maybe I am in the same boat as Mates31cz here? I'd like to be able to offer a Pre-Mission Parameter choice between 'SIDE' or 'NONE'. It seems like you have the code I'd need there but I don't know how to call it in? How could I add that to form something for the class params?
