Respawn?

[Winters1807]

How do you make it so that the player can respawn as an ally on the mission editor?

[russin]

make all units on the side your on playable then teamswitch

That only works in SP mode, how do u make it so that u can respawn in MP?

You should be able to respawn as any unit that is set as playable, so long as you specify the correct respawn type in in the the description.ext

That Wiki page isn't very specific. In what syntax and location do you have to place the respawn command in the description file?

I would also like to know how to set respawn in multiplayer. I did it before in an operation flashpoint map but that was years ago and I cant seem to find any description.ext files anywhere.

The description.ext in fact uses the same syntax as all config files, therefore each line should be terminated with ;

Location within the file does not matter, so long as you do not place the definition within another class.

A description.ext may not exist unless you create it. I do not have the full version of ArmA, but each of the demo missions has a description.ext, take a look at them for a reference.

respawn = "group";

Yup, that works!

Sorry for getting confused but this description.ext where does it go exactly because I have files to do with my map in my documents and in the actual program folder.
