For the second Q I believe you want this script (http://www.ofpec.com/editors/resource_view.php?id=301) from toadlife.

look at the sticky thread at the top called "Respawning" it has all the info you need
Yes you can have as many different respawn points as you want, you can make them random, you can respawn to a set location through a condition etc etc

He wants a specific group to respawn at a specific place, not randomly.  For that some scripting intervention is needed.

I'll use, for example purposes, infGroup and paraGroup.  I assume you have named your groups; if not, put this in the init field of each man in the para group:

paraGroup = group this

And the infantry group:

infGroup = group this

This way the group names are assigned even if some soldiers are excluded (i.e. AI is disabled).

The next step: put the respawn marker at the infantry respawn.  You won't need a marker at the paratrooper respawn.

Now make a game logic named paraSpawn and place it where the paratroops should respawn.

At this points we add the extra scripts.

init.sqs snippet

Code: [Select]

;; add this line to your init.sqs
;; (or make an init.sqs if you don't have one)
?(player in (units paraGroup)): [] exec "pararesp.sqs"
pararesp.sqs

Code: [Select]

;; this will check for player respawn and move soldier to paraRespawn
#start
@!alive player
@alive player
player setPos (getPos paraRespawn)
goto "start"
There you go.. let me know if it works.
