Title: Noob question about respawning
Post by: Noggins on 18 Mar 2004, 03:41:32

Im sure its the most frequenly asked question here, but i looked at the sticky and the top and followed the instructions but they just dont seem to work. the FAQ also seems to be down because i cant open the "see more" part of it.  i cant get anything to respawn, please help.

here is what i have tried

made a mission in the editor with soilder S1
create a trigger like this
Activate: repeatedly
Condition: not(alive s1)
on activation: [] exec "respawn.sqs"

then i go into the users/username/missions/mission1 and make a notepad file called "respawn.sqs" with text

respawn=2
respawndelay=20

and save it in ANSI and use ALL FILES.

then i "export to multiplayer", start a server, kill myself with a grenade, and nothing happens.

What am i doing wrong/forgetting? please help

Regarding your respawn code.

respawn=2
respawndelay=20

This needs to be in a file called description.ext, which is placed in your mission folder, not written in a script file.

You obviously missed that part in the sticky topic at the top.

This is what worked for me and im a newbie at this stuff.

Download the unpbo tool and take apart a map that you know works.  you will find alot of usefull scripts in old maps.
