Custom Spawn and Respawn Positions

[CloudLEL]

Hello,

 

I've seen it done around, but I was wondering how you get custom spawn positions as well as re-spawn positions. So for example, I don't want to spawn in that room with the tubes and the bodies, I'd like to spawn on the coast somewhere, preferably randomized. And as for re spawning, when you die, you should also spawn in a random position.

 

I've tried stripping out the code for the debug area, as well as changing the coordinates, but nothing seems to work.

 

Can anyone shed some light?

 

Thanks!

http://epochmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/33149-change-the-respawn-location/?hl=spawn#entry216241  lots of mentions on these forums... this is just one... search for respawn, custom spawn etc and you will find all you need to know.

This is what i use for respawning at random location.

 

You can use this for a random location on the map not in water for random respawn position.

_pos = ["water","out"] call BIS_fnc_randomPos;

Or you can use this to respawn at a random location that you have selected around the map.

_coord = [
                [14522.3, 2256.46, 0.00130463],
                [14522.3, 2256.46, 0.00130463],
                [14522.3, 2256.46, 0.00130463],
                [14522.3, 2256.46, 0.00130463],
                [14522.3, 2256.46, 0.00130463],
                [14522.3, 2256.46, 0.00130463],
                [14522.3, 2256.46, 0.00130463],
                [14522.3, 2256.46, 0.00130463],
                [14522.3, 2256.46, 0.00130463],
                [14522.3, 2256.46, 0.00130463]
            ] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;

And this is how my spawn.sqf looks like:

//Custom loadout
private ["_player","_pos"];

    waitUntil {!isNull player};
    waitUntil {player == player};

Thanks for the help with reap awning, as for first time spawning, even though I've removed the coordinates for the debug room, it still exists and I still spawn in it.

[TolH]

Sadly yes, the first time you log in to the server, you will spawn at the big box. It will only work after you respawn/die.

 

I think you will also spawn in the big box if you die and don't make a new character just before a server restart.

 

At least it's a start and hope it helps you find what you looking for.

 

You could maybe take it as an advantage and place some special thing in that big box for when new poeple join and such.

A quick question does ur player crypto work ? For some reason players loose their crypto on purchasing items, any reason y this happens
