Arma 3 Eden Editor SIMPLE Respawn Points

[@Ry-xk9qr]

I just wanted to say how much this helped me I've spent weeks trying to figure out this game. Thank you

[@captainkidneybean129]

how do you set up respawn classes?

[@Heccct]

Well, this appears the first tutorial where I actually learned something and didn't end up being on fire or infected with some strange kind of virus or bacteria.. good job!

[@ZombieGunslingr]

U can put down vehicle respawn right click it sync to than left click on vehicle . Done

[@booker7504]

You are on the right path, but you missed a couple steps. When you put "" in the "Init" field, you need to make sure that it is added in the "System Specific - Vehicle Respawn" field as well. This is how it should look like in that field, Delay- 5 Deserted Distance- 10 (this "10" is in meters) Tickets- 100 Expression- (Leave Blank) Position- Starting position Position selection- Newest Wreck- Delete Notification- Disabled Forced respawn- Disabled Respawn when disabled- Disabled The Forced Respawn is incorrect in the video, because you don't want it to respawn upon explosion. Plus there will be no delay upon respawn as well. Respawn when Disabled, should also be disabled. Why, when the vehicle is disabled, you can either leave it or fix it. I usually put it at 500 on the Deserted Distance so that it will respawn when you walk away from it. Hope this helps some people out.

[@booker7504]

On another note, I would put the delay up to 3600 in the script and in the delay field. 3600 is 5 min for delay.

[@crimsonenforcer2217]

Thank you so much seriously thank you.

[@gatorpika]

Nice video! I tried out the respawn position module as well and it's pretty cool since you can set up multiple points for the player to select like in the campaign. Just dump it on the map where you want your spawn point. The parameters are: Name - this text gets displayed on the map. Type: defaults to infantry, but you can select vehicles, air, boats, etc. Have not played with these. Side: This is important because you need to change it from the default leading side if you are not setting the point based on score. I left it and it made me initially spawn in the ocean because there was no score. You can set it to a specific side so bluefor and opfor have their own spawn points. Then there is show to, which says who sees the spawn point on their spawn selection screen, and notification I don't know what it does. In the multiplayer attributes you have to check select respawn position to give the player the spawn point selection screen when they respawn. Next I want to figure out how to enable/disable the points with a trigger so players only get to spawn at forward points once they capture the territory.

[@alex_-vg6dl]

Man thank you; you are the first man who show perfectly how to put respawn. Can you help me with virtual arsenal? I don't know how to put it

[@vermanshane]

Wow the new way is much easier, I was still using the old way of respawn for missions.

[@13sempere]

Nicely explained, this is much better than adding description.ext. Why can't they explain something so basic and important in the Eden tutorial?? For vehicle respawn the old method still works and is useful for spawning vehicles for any side to use: Systems/Modules/Multiplayer/Vehicle Respawn. You can then connect any number and variety of empty vehicles (alt + left click) to this module. You must then change attributes, like respawn delay and and respawn placement. Make sure "Forced Respawn" tab is enabled.

[@joeyyakeera9886]

This is a help for sure, question though, I have to add multiple classes of players so more than one can spawn, but the unused player slots show in game, so I positioned them outside of the map. Is there better way to do this? and next I want to create UI so that players can select which respawn point they want, how do I reference the player ? _player or player and should I wrap it under Is server or dedicated? The UI for spawn is only to show for new players or players who are respawinnig so I dont want other players who are a live to run this UI until they obviously need to re-spawn again .

[@martyreimer2]

help the vehicle respawn doesn't work for me 😢😯 any idea what I'm doing wrong?

[@jonathanskoog4904]

I added a custom loadout - how do I make the character spawn in with that loadout after respawning? (It's currently changing to the default clothing/weapons)

[@TheZeree81]

sorry the comment i made here was on the wrong vid lol (REMOVED)

[@jimjim4506]

You ever figure out how to respawn with the same loadout?

[@AllegedAccomplice]

I found this somewhere else, wish I could remember, he helped me a a lot. You need a description.ext file in the missions/scenario folder and it needs to say this (as always do not include the quote marks) " respawnTemplates[] = {"MenuInventory","MenuPosition"}; " The next file you need to make with a text editor is initplayerlocal.sqf and inside it needs to say this exactly, do not put the name of the mission, it knows this, " [player, [missionnamespace, "virtualinventory"]] call Bis_fnc_saveinventory; " last file you need to make is onplayerrespawn.sqf and inside it needs to say " [player, [missionnamespace, "virtualinventory"]] call Bis_fnc_loadinventory; " You go into the editor and make guys to fight with in you mission or multiplayer scenario, you place them down, got to arsenal to edit the loadouts of the soldiers, save the mission and it should save the loadouts. YOU may have to click "save loadout" in the editor by clicking on attributes and picking multiplayer from the drop down menu and save loadout. All this will throw and error at the bottom of the screen, it is meaningless. It is because you haven't specified different inventories to pick for each one but you don't have or need to, you've already made the loadouts you wanted. I am going to do that soon though. Okay I found it, it was SayUnkl, I knew it was him I just couldn't think of the name, link to vid kzbin.info/www/bejne/jp_GmYpvbdxqm9k . Now he does it slightly differently than I do but I did it so people wouldn't have access to the arsenal to load whatever they wanted. I do not have any object put down to save the loadout to or open the arsenal, you don't have to. Those guys you make and save have a role description when you double click them in the editor, I use this to basically tell the loadout to the person joining a server, they all say rifleman or pilot in the lobby but under that I have this under rifleman on one of the slots in the lobby " Lite Rifleman Garand 2 nades mucho ammo ". As you can see its a WWII scenario cause its got the Garand. He has nothing but a bunch of ammo and 2 nades, they all have 2 bandages so I don't bother with that. They can see what they are going to get when they pick that slot. I do this because it stops people from using arsenal to bring modern weapons into a WWII battle. There have been several so called fixes to this but I've seen people get around them Ok I hope this helps, make sure you go to SayUnkl's youtube page, I don't make videos, he makes excellent vdeos just like the guy above but with some multiplayer involved.

[@donheavy1235]

Nick A look for the mcc mod, it adds more options for missions, respawn, look for a check box save loadout on the new updated arma3 .

[@dustinchamberlain4015]

gatorpika- did you ever figure out how to make your forward spawn points? im also interested in making spawn points that unlock as you capture areas

[@loco8089]

How do you add respawns in single player? Im just making simple missons for myself.

[@whiskeyactual.]

+LOCO 808 Exactly what I want to know. Why does it have to be multiplayer???

[@MrTheequark]

+Ghos7N54 because there is no respawn mode for single player...Yet..

[@arma3guidestutorials]

Just play solo in MP lan, respawn only works in MP anyways.

[@feedthecreature]

Great! Now how do I get the heli to respawn at its original position? I have 'Starting Position' selected for the vehicle respawn but every time I go down in the AO, both my character and my chopper spawn right next to where I went down.

[@namlessism]

I must be missing something it's not working for me

[@UrbanoModa]

this was very helpful and worked after searching, thanks alot

[@xmastersrule]

how do you set up the loadouts for the respawn

[@oldmangamingsociety6236]

Help..If you have multiple factions on the map. How do you pick your spawn locations between the different factions? I'm trying to test the spawns but I only get the first faction I loaded in when the server browser screen opens.

[@ElHyperion]

The module does not seem to work for me. I named a helicopter the same way as in the respawnVehicle command, set the timer and count the same as in the video, and put the position to starting, so that it respawns at where I initally placed it in the editor, if that's how it works. After destroying the heli, nothing seems to happen. I even tried the respawn points method and set the vehicle timer but it doesn't do anything aswell. I can only respawn infantry units and players

[@Slayer119988]

For some reason when I get to attributes then multiplayer, I can click on anything in the drop down list for respawn where it says disabled by default. The objects in the list don't highlight and clicking them does nothing.

[@l.g841]

I like edit a map, however there is only 1-1 players (Blufor) , what exactly is the respawn point for my friend?

[@kcrazed2809]

+Gashey If you guys are against eachother it will be respawn_west for blufor and respawn_east for opfor, so essentially you will be making two spawn points. If you are on the same team however, respawn_west will work for both players on the blufor team

[@l.g841]

+Kcrazed so if I do this will it put an Opfor on the multiplayer lobby for my friend to click on so he can get in game? Because when you went to show how to join Bluefor was only there with 1-1..?

[@Jdawjj]

+Gashey in essence you will have to place a second "playable" unit down on the map. (the player/soldier will have a pink outline around it if you've done this correctly.) The number of playable units on the mission determines how many players can join. so you will see more then just the 1-1 you mentioned. and your friend should be able to join.

[@Heccct]

Everybody respawns at the marker you assigned with respawn_WEST/EAST/Civilian/Guerilla.. like, if there's several playable characters in one faction, they will all respawn at that respective spawnpoint, given that you changed your settings to have it be like that.

[@jeroen3657]

Thanks for the vid. This got me started at least. I am trying to make a deathmatch game mode for me and my friends to play with. I can make them respawn, but for some reason the loadout on the players don't save when I select the guns in arsenal when I click on the player. I did make multiple spawns and people were able to select where to spawn so thanks for that!!! in short, how do you give the players their custom loadout?

[@kcrazed2809]

+Jeroen Thats odd.. you should just be able to select the physical character you put on the map and select the loadout, when you save it it should stay. Make sure the characters you create the loadout on are selected as the playable characters. Try right clicking on the physical character on the map and on the bottom it should say arsenal.

[@jeroen3657]

I did exactly this and it does not work. Even things like disabling stamina does not safe. On his first life no stamina bar then when you die and respawn you have stamina again. Do I need to code it maybe in the text file?

[@MrTheequark]

+Jeroen You need to create and add these two files to your mission OnPlayerRespawn.sqf and InitPlayerLocal.sqf and add in these codes to each files: player enableStamina false; player enableFatigue false;

[@jeroen3657]

Quark Ferengi I worked it out in the mean time. Thanks anyway though. I also figured the gear out, but I pick the lazy approach and just give them an arsenal box.

[@lucaherman6227]

How do I stop the heli from spawning a couple of yards away from the respawn point

[@Heccct]

You can place a vehicle respawn module, assign a name to the vehicle, enter it in the module and sync it with the vehicle. Then you set it to "Spawn at the module's position", or something. That way, it will respawn exactly where you put the module.

[@Seridon101]

Guys i have a question, i add in multiple spawn points change settings in multiplayer save and publish works perfect for me on server but no one else can log in they get stuck on load in screen. IF i wait for someone to join at the same time it works fine but no one can join in after it gets stuck on load in. if i remove all spawn points and put revive instead the scenario works fine, i have gone as far as i can to try and correct this and am just out of ideas. this is in eden editor.

[@syedtahirhassan3380]

Can anyone help me out that how one can build a new Runway in Arma 3 Editor? Is it possible? if yes what is then required to do that....please need help...

[@emulsionvhs69]

mine didn't work :(

[@ChrisWhite.fishing]

he sucked

[@SE09uk]

Okay I play a mission called Excalibur and on a home server over lan it's fine as we can save and go back when we are dead but on a dedi server they don't let you save. we can spawn on our teams AI but that's all. can some one make or help me with setting a normal spawn point in the mission ?

[@White_Raven_Films]

Ok can u guys tell me how to make a tickets? lets say i want to be able to respawn only 10 times in the possition i died so as my team or just 10 respawns for whole team not each player

[@kcrazed2809]

+Kendzior944 Hmmmm... thats a good question. I looked at a few forums but can't seem to find a good answer as I am also unaware of how to do this. If you do find something let me know, good luck!

[@White_Raven_Films]

thank you. i was messing around since few days and i couldnt find anything close to it. i did Instant resp but tickets never appears on the hud and just dont work. i will continue my work on this and i will let you know if anything changed :)

[@KiloEazy]

Any one have a fix for units spawning under the map? It worked at first but now they spawn in the water under the map

[@exciteproductions4two0]

Liked and subscribed. Thanks for the help.

[@alexeynikolaev599]

Hello, do you known, how to respawn plane or helicopter with crew in air? I'm trying to create simple mission with friend to fly versus NPC, and when we destroy plane or heli, it should respawn in air, but aircrafts respawn in air without crew, and crew fall without aircraft))

[@rora2657]

hey do you know how to add a respawn to a Vehicle i don't know how to do it

[@1sonrocks]

When you select it to be able to change your loadout before you spawn, how do you actually add loadouts to the 'respawn screen' to choose from?

[@infectiousproduction812]

Ok when i launch the game i select my class on the lobby , then it goes on the map with connected players but my names is not in it i got this message "base respawn not available for unknown" plz help me

[@christianbach4986]

I think you deserve more subs, you make good vids

[@Matthew.1994]

how can i deactivate a spawnpoint when someone is in a certain trigger and when he leaves, the spawn works again?

[@skudilidoo2092]

Can't you just connect it with the module thing ? like in 2d editor. Because its much easier to this than the new thing

[@skudilidoo2092]

+Mr. Tetris Ahh found how to connect them :D Just right click the Module:Vehicle spawn and sync it with the vehicle

[@kcrazed2809]

+Mr. Tetris I was unaware of this.. I'm obviously still learning too haha. Thanks for the reply!

[@glock21guy]

+Mr. Tetris Yeah, you can plop one vehicle respawn and link it to all the vehicles for the side and set them to respawn orig location (make sure to delete wreck or you might end up with an explosion/spawn loop).

[@ottovonbismarck1375]

For some reason the heli respawns on the landing pad and on the infantry spawn as well.

[@LukeAventino1975]

This was awesome, thank you so much!

[@1sonrocks]

Can you make a video of how to make ai spawns to spawn at certain intervals in the eden editor as well?

[@Heccct]

Talking about the Spawn AI module?

[@1sonrocks]

+Leon Winter Will that make a spawn during the mission at this time and that time etc?

[@1sonrocks]

+Leon Winter AI spawn

[@Heccct]

negusorigins​ Well, there's several settings.. you can let the module spawn AI each 15, 30, 60 and 120 seconds. Furthermore, you can set how many troops can be fielded and how high the chances are for infantry, motorized groups, mechanized groups and armored groups to spawn. You can also configure how large the groups are that it will create. Entities created by the module despawn after a while when they're killed/disabled/destroyed. You can also change those settings by putting down an AI spawn options module. :P Have fun, it's very easy to use. I guess if you use some scripts, you might be able to make it so that it only starts to spawn units when a specific event has occured. It's ArmA, you can basically do everything if you know how.. ^^

[@1sonrocks]

+Leon Winter I'll have to check that out, it would be quite nice for larger missions to not have a bunch of AI on the map and have it lag the hell out of you 🙃

[@exciteproductions4two0]

As much as your vid helped man, it seems alot has changed in the editor options. Would be cool if you'd make an updated vid on the customization of servers.

[@jewlednoon]

Whenever I have multiple vehicle spawn points respawn_vehicle_west_one it doesnt work

[@payden0_086]

Does this work for your squad members if they die

[@Dragno191]

With this how add more role assigments??

[@kcrazed2809]

+Blue Dragon What do you mean by role assignments?

[@Dragno191]

Kcrazed nvm found it not on the internet tho. XD

[@segomaster123]

I can only create one respawn point, I create more empty markers then set the variable name to respawn_west2 But in game I only can spawn on the first respawn point, which the variable name is respawn_west Any help anyone?

[@Kupcho58]

I'm not entirely sure, but try adding an underscore between the "west" and the "2". That is...respawn_west_2 instead of respawn_west2. I place a bunch of spawn markers named using this method and never had any problems.
