Respawn dead AI unit

[TheTrooper]

Hi All, is there a way you can respawn a dead AI unit?

 

A bit like if a late activated air unit takes off from runway, then has been killed but a trigger has been activated can you repawn it to take off the runway again?

Perfect for MOOSE or MIST

 

This is exactly what MOOSE or MIST scripting is for. I'm slowly learning how to use MOOSE lua coding. Definite learning curve, but what you are asking is done soooooo easily using lua code.

I found a script but don't know why it wasn't working. It threw up errors. I guess more to it than what I know.

How many times, realistically, do you need this to happen?

 

If it doesn't need to be infinite times on a 24/7 server you can simply copy and paste multiple versions of the same AC or group of AC to your airbase, check late activation, then use a series of GROUP DEAD -> GROUP ACTIVATE triggers to launch each subsequent aircraft/group.

 

If it really has to be infinite times forever then you are firmly in .lua land but it's a relatively simple task in both MiST and MOOSE. Post your .miz and someone will take a look.

In MOOSE lua scripting, you would place a group on the runway LATE ACTIVATED and use this code... Here you would have a Bf109 group of 4 spawn on the runway, get shot down and respawn back at the airport. Note the (4,5) in the InitLimit... this means a group of 4 can only exist at one time and this group can be respawned 5 times. Setting the 5 to zero would make it an infinite set of respawn groups...

 

local Bf109_GP1_JG52 = SPAWN:New( "Bf109 GP1 JG52" ):InitLimit(4,5):InitRepeatOnEngineShutDown()

 

do

Bf109_GP1_JG52:Spawn()

end

 

I know learning lua code can be daunting. I'm still a major nube at it, but there are super helpful guys online here like Hard Card and Pikey and many others that help you out.
