Use this for respawn:

player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {INSERT_CODE_HERE}];

To get an array of all alive players use:

_players = [];
{
  if (alive _x) then {
     _players = _players + [_x];
  };
} foreach playableUnits;

//_players will be an array of all alive players

You can also use this to select an alive player at random:

_selectedPlayer = _players call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;

Thanks for responding blckeagls but the "playableUnits" code is only really useful for the server itself. What I'm trying to do is more along the lines of scripting a local sqf to run on clients. So far, I'm just putting it into the initPlayerLocal.sqf but I haven't exactly tested the effects that revive or respawn have on the loop script.

You could use a publicVariableHandler...  Have the server tell the players when to execute it...

Generally, you shouldn't have the clients spawn anything.   I use addPublicVariableEventHandler to have client request stuff from the server..

//////////////////////////////////
////In Mission Code for client////
//////////////////////////////////
ExecuteMission = {
    _Object = [1234,5678]; //Define an object or location
    waitUntil {(player distance _Object) < 100}; //Waits until player is within 100m of object or location
    serverMissionRequest = ["AIMISSION",true]; //Assigns variable to serverMissionRequest (true to add mission)
    publicVariableServer "serverMissionRequest"; //Sends the variable "serverMissionRequest" to the server
    waitUntil {(player distance _Object) > 200}; //Waits until player is 200m away from object or location
    serverMissionRequest = ["AIMISSION",false]; //Assigns variable to serverMissionRequest (false to remove mission)
    publicVariableServer "serverMissionRequest"; //Sends the variable "serverMissionRequest" to the server
    call ExecuteMission; //Executes this code again
};
call ExecuteMission; //Spawns when player enters server
player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {call ExecuteMission}]; //When player respawns, it executes ExecuteMission
player addEventHandler ["Revive", {call ExecuteMission}]; //When player is revived, it executes ExecuteMission (Not sure if "Revive" is valid, need to test)



//////////////////////////////
////////In server code////////
//////////////////////////////
SpawnMission = {
                //_this = Variable passed from player [PlayerObject,["AIMISSION",1]]
		_player = _this select 0; //Will be the player object
                _arrayFromPlayer = _this select 1; //Will be ["AIMISSION",true] or ["AIMISSION",false]
		_String = _arrayFromPlayer select 0; //Will be "AIMISSION"
		_Value = _arrayFromPlayer select 1; // Will be true or false
                _playerPos = getPos _player; //Gets the players position
                if (_Value) then { //If _Value = true execute SpawnMissions.sqf, if false execute RemoveMission.sqf
                    [_player,_playerPos,_String] exeVM "SpawnMission.sqf"; // Code to spawn mission with passing the player,their position,the string
                } else {
                    [_player,_playerPos,_String] exeVM "RemoveMission.sqf"; // Code to remove mission with passing the player,their position,the string
                };
};

"serverMissionRequest" addPublicVariableEventHandler {_this call SpawnMission}; //When serverMissionRequest is received from a player, it executes "SpawnMission"

That sounds very useful. I'll look into it a bit. Thanks for your help man!

I editted it... made it more friendly to read and useful i think

the publicVariableEventHandlers are used to do something when either a client or server recieves a public variable...

so this can work for server or client...

publicVariableServer "VariableName" <- sends public variable to server
(owner PlayerObject) publicVariableClient "VariableName"  <- sends public variable to client

"VariableName" addPublicVariableEventHandler {execute something here};  <- used to do something when public variable is recieved

yes...  It's used for the client to issue a request to the server to initiate a script...
