[sparrow8332]

Not understant dear... more details please friend

 

what more details do you want ? 

[ertatu]

Dear friend, step for step for install if is possible dear friend please.

[Brian Soanes]

Should be Stratis and Bornholm

[pr0dukt]

Need a couple decent grid refs for north and south chernarus spawn points. too lazy to put out editor right now. =p

 

 

 

Pretty cool system though. I was in the process of porting over a arma life spawn select system and adapting chernarus and bornholm to it, but I haven't had to the time to finish as of late.

[Totto005]

what more details do you want ? 

 

Can you edit for Taviana? Please

[sparrow8332]

Can you edit for Taviana? Please

 

should be easier enough for you to do by using whats their as a copy / paste ref :-(  but if you have issues let me know and will edit it for you :-)

[Salla]

I like it man..  well done.

 

Nice and easy to install and works a treat.  Had to add some BE filters, but very straight forward.

[Salla]

Hmm.. at server reboot.. you get the dialog even though you are not a fresh respawn.

 

Edit: actually.  I'm imagining things.

[R4ziel]

Does anyone know the location of the Chernarus spawn points needed for this?

[ertatu]

Please, help me for install... any can help?

 

Please steep to steep o more details for intall please  :wub:

[Totto005]

OK THX for info. I test today

[Salla]

BTW:  Do the following full text replace in the spaz_spawn.sqf

 

Bronholm

to

Bornholm (some spawns were spelt correct and some incorrect so didn't work.)

 

Centeral

to

Central (only to correct spelling on this)

Not understand this

 

if you don't understand this then maybe you shouldn't be modifying your mission file ..   what exactly do you want to know about the install ??

[R4ziel]

I can agree with that statement hehe.

 

Is there an easy way of getting the co-ordinates for Chernarus?

[Richie]

Sweet, im waiting XD Thanks dude

[ertatu]

I put in description.ext

#include "spaz_spawn.hpp"

I add a Sensor in my Mission.sqm

class Item0

{

position[] = {8886.766,102.1,9097.741}; //respawn_west Location

a = 10;

b = 10;

activationBy = "ANY";

repeating = 1;

interruptable = 1;

age = "UNKNOWN";

name = "SPAWNPOINT";

expCond = "(player distance SPAWNPOINT) < 10;";

expActiv = "hint ""You are in the clone room""; inSpawnPoint = true;};";

expDesactiv = "inSpawnPoint = false;";

class Effects{};

};

But... Where i have to put the file onPlayerRespawn.sqf and file onPlayerRespawn.sqf ??

[Salla]

You put the onPlayerRespawn.sqf in the root of your mission.pbo

 

funnily.. I learnt exactly how onPlayerRespawn.sqf works for Arma3 as it shows the Bohemia wiki page as the first google link.  From that page too, you can also find out what many other default files you can use in your missions.  eg: onPlayerKilled.sqf, initPlayerServer.sqf, initServer.sqf, etc, etc..   This is all very valuable information if you want to be a server admin, coder, etc...

 

As for the position[] for your sensor, be sure to get the correct coords from your actual mission.sqm under the section MARKERS, and its the respawn_west one.   If the sensor is not on the correct clone room coords, the script wont fire when you spawn in the clone room.

[Richie]

This works but you can't choose your sex before the spawn points, so once you TP to the spawn it asks you to choose your sex and puts you back in the spawn room.

[Salla]

Strange..gender selection works fine for me before you get the spawn selection screen.
