Simple Vehicle Respawn Script [Arma3]

[bearbison 10]

Never use SP or the SP editor, I always use MP so can't say why it doesn't work using SP. Maybe someone else can come up with the answer?

Remember though the example scripts don't do anything other than show hints to prove the inits come back after respawn as at the time I didn't have the scripts that were used and didn't feel like creating something :)

[Twix 1]

I think it might be because of the netID, which doesn't seem to do anything in editor or SP.

I'm using your scripts with the mark_units and various other scripts to control locking controls. Works like a charm

[chal00 12]

Ok! So i shearched, and shearched again, and again....

And my vehicle rspawn script's problem comes from of a game bug!

Yes, and this is my proof :

http://www.fileswap.com/dl/kr9jNo9TO/

http://www.fileswap.com/dl/xRcYTy9NYF/

The script is good on stratis island, but not on pythos island!! Why i don't know!

You can find here, 2 ultra simple maps with the same vehicles and same men! I just pasted the same unit and ammobox from "pythos", on stratis beach!

=> in the first case : the respawn isn't good!

=> in the second case : everything is ok!

Can someone verify this issue, and if it's confirmed, report it with technical words to bohemia!

Thanks all ;)

[chal00 12]

It seems that respawn vehicle make bug when it's done on "pythos" island (at NE)!!

I have too ultra simple demo, which proove it! The same unit and same vehicle pasted from pythos to stratis beach!

On pythos : respawn isn't good! :(

On Stratis, everything is OK!

That were my problem since the beginning! :(

EDIT : this is a double post, because the first one didn't appeared when i tried 2 times to post it! I thought it was because of the links!

Sorry!

problem with post

[JaceSythril 10]

Ok can someone help me out. I tried doing Tophe Script and I keep getting error line 116. Then I tried using the other one provided in here, when I preview it nothing at all happens. WTF am I doing wrong?

Simple Vehicle Respawn Script v1.81 for Arma 3

by Tophe of Östgöta Ops [OOPS]

Put this in the vehicles init line:

veh = [this] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

Options:

There are some optional settings. The format for these are:

veh = [object, Delay, Deserted timer, Respawns, Effect, Dynamic] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

Default respawn delay is 30 seconds, to set a custom respawn delay time, put that in the init as well.

Like this:

veh = [this, 15] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

Default respawn time when vehicle is deserted, but not destroyed is 120 seconds. To set a custom timer for this

first set respawn delay, then the deserted vehicle timer. (0 = disabled)

Like this:

veh = [this, 15, 10] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

By default the number of respawns is infinite. To set a limit first set preceding values then the number of respawns you want (0 = infinite).

Like this:

veh = [this, 15, 10, 5] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

Set this value to TRUE to add a special explosion effect to the wreck when respawning.

Default value is FALSE, which will simply have the wreck disappear.

Like this:

veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

By default the vehicle will respawn to the point where it first was when the mission started (static).

This can be changed to dynamic. Then the vehicle will respawn to the position where it was destroyed.

First set all preceding values then set TRUE for dynamic or FALSE for static.

Like this:

veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE, TRUE] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

If you you want to set the INIT field of the respawned vehicle, first set all other values, then set init commands.

Those must be inside quotations.

Like this:

veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE, FALSE, "this setDammage 0.5"] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

Default values of all settings are:

veh = [this, 30, 120, 0, FALSE, FALSE] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

Hey i suggest that you edit your post and wrap spoiler tags around it.

However, Thanks for the post!!

[sgtwilson 10]

Guys, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I create the Quadbikes that I want to respawn, put the init field veh = [this, 15, 10, TRUE] execVM "vehicle.sqf" have put veh.sqf in the root folder of the mission, but when I start it up there's a small black square with script in it in white writing, then the respawn doesn't work.

Anyone know what I've done wrong here?

[KevsNoTrev 44]

SgtWilson,

You are missing a parameter.

Re read the start of the vehicle.sqf, it shows

veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, true] execVM "vehicle.sqf';

You are missing the value for number of respawns. - leave as 0 (zero) for infinite (the 5 above).

BTW, that black box is your friend when it comes to scripting - it shows you all errors and where they are in which script.

I cannot find the Vehicle Init file to add this line. Might someone help me apply this output into my code veh = [_this, 10, 0, 0, TRUE, FALSE] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

[Blitzer134 1]

@ frostey007-This code goes in the vehicle init box when your in the editor

veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE, FALSE, "this setDammage 0.5"] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

is that what you mean ?

[memphisbelle 99]

sorry for a stupid question...but may it be that the latest Game Version is avoiding the script to work properly?

I am using the ArmA2 Version of this script in ArmA2 Missions a lot and they work great. But I cant get the 1.81 Version for ArmA3 to work...the Vehicles simply don't respawn...does someone have any Ideas about that?

The script file is located in the Missions folder, I am using this in the init line of each Vehicle:

veh = [this] execVM "vehicle.sqf";

But no success so far.

Hey guys.. Sorry for my absence. I've been working a lot lately. This kind of caught me off guard, and I'mm looking at some kind of solution. Naong seems to be on to something, but I can't seem to iron it out. Looking a bit at it now.

[memphisbelle 99]

As was said in earlyer post, in Arma 3 the script does not work correctly. Use the one suggested instead. I tried it and it worked

hey, it works...awesome...thanks a lot.

Hello,

I'm just having a bit of difficulty at the moment trying to insert into the "init" field for this script.

veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE, FALSE, "init field here"] execVM "vehicle.sqf"

Only issue is the code I want to insert is the following:

this addAction["Insert Smoke","smoke.sqf"];

Basically when the MH9 respawns, I want it to continue to have the option to drop smoke but this is causing me issues, if you just straight put that addaction between the two quotation marks, it just doesn't work. Missing [. Can someone please tell me how to code these two together or let me know if the addaction function just cannot be inserted there?

NINJA EDIT Also is there a way to retain the name of vehicles? I have markers set on my vehicles but obviously when destroyed, they lose all that information and thus also the markers.

Cheers

Sweetbix

try this

veh = [this, 15, 10, 5, TRUE, FALSE, "this addAction[""Insert Smoke"",""smoke.sqf""];"] execVM "vehicle.sqf";this addAction["Insert Smoke","smoke.sqf"];

you have to have the initialisation field contain the script to run and the one ot use on respawn. That's why its in there twice.

[Sweetbix 10]

Thanks for the reply Kevsno,

But unfortunately the same outcome. Works initially but after the respawn it's a no go.

[joschaap 1]

is there any way to make this also work for boats around the island pythos?

the rest of the map works fine. but for boats arround pythos findsafepos seems to fail :(

Error in expression <_minDist) then
{
if (!((count (_testPos isFlatEmpty [_objDist, 0, _maxGradient, >
 Error position: <isFlatEmpty [_objDist, 0, _maxGradient, >
 Error Type Any, expected Number

@Sweetbix

See my post from earlier with a modified version of the script and a slightly different method of calling it that works in a MP environment (our group have used this on all of our missions without issue). Note that my example demo mission only calls scripts that have hints in them and not true actions as it was only a POC mission for one of the others.

Thanks BearBison, your version of the script is working like a charm. No issues yet.

[Predator.v2 10]

I noticed this script won't respawn vehicle locked (if set "locked" as default).

Anyway to included the vehicle lock upon respawn?

[memphisbelle 99]

Hey Tophe,

please check the script. It doesn't work in the Beta (Ok, I´ve got to admit that the Beta is out since of today )...But just for the case...

this is the error message that appears right at mission start

if (_haveinit) then 
{_unit setVehicleInit format ["%1;", _unitinit]>
 Error position: <setVehicleInit format ["%1;", _unitinit]>
 Error Missing ;

setVehicleInit = probably you are using an old version of his script?

Since the hack week, they fix an hole with this command by removing it.

the new script uses something like BIS_fnc_MP now instead of setvehicleInit.

look in this thread around page 5 post #44
