Here is a shortened version of it, that you can stick your code into (requires >= v1.85). If you don't have resistace you will have to use triggers and a different method.......

Also, notice the quotes around "unitname". The name of the unit MUST be in quotes when inititalizing the script.

["unitname"] exec "thisscript.sqs"

Code: [Select]

;intialize like this: ["unitname"] exec "thisscript.sqs"
;            Or this: ["unitname"] exec "thisscript.sqs"


requiredVersion "1.85"
_name = _this select 0

_unit = call format["%1",_name]


#checklocal
_unit = call format["%1",_name]
?local _unit:goto "respawnloop"
~(1 + (random 3))
goto "checklocal"


#respawnloop
@!alive _unit

@alive call format["%1",_name]
_unit = call format["%1",_name]

;Insert whatever code you want to run on the respawned unit here!! Address the unit as "_unit"
; EXAMPLE: _pee = _unit addaction ["Take a Piss","piddle.sqs"]

goto "respawnloop"
