But after saved to multiplayer mission the UAV doesnt say.....

TARGET!.  That!  enemy tannk!

How about Respawning?  Is there a way to get the UAV to respawn after its destroyed?

What? Is? This? ICouldn't find any reference to it in the comref. Is it a new command? What does it do? Why should I avoid allowDamage in MP mode?

EDIT: I see now that it's an eventHandler. But the second question remains. I've used allowDamage several times in MP with good results, as long as the commands are issued on all machines (including the server).

Yes allowDamage damage is local. As long as you execute it on all machines its fine.
But for beginners the EH approach is just the one command without all the locality hassle.

In OA there is a new respawn EH:

Is there a line I can put in the init to get the UAV to respawn after destruction?
