Title: Respawning in single player
Post by: UH60MG on 06 Mar 2008, 20:12:43

Is it possible to allow respawning once the players character is dead as in multiplayer?

You might do something similar with killed event handler. Add this to the init field of the player:

Code: [Select]

this addEventHandler ["killed", {(_this select 0) setDamage 0; (_this select 0) setPos getMarkerPos "mk_respawn"]}]

Mandoble's code won't work -> in ArmA, it's entirely impossible to revive a dead entity in SP, AI or Player.

However, you CAN "Respawn" a player simply by using selectPlayer/adding a new unit to the switchableUnits array (and allow the player to pick their teamswitch in the death-menu).

something like:

Code: [Select]

this addeventhandler ["killed", {addSwitchableUnit RespawnDude; selectPlayer RespawnDude}]

You could of course just keep creating new units named "RespawnDude" as well to make sure the "killed" eventhandler always has someone to respawn into. Or use some script. :) All is possible!

Good luck!
