Implementing Respawn Systems in Arma 3

Adding a respawn system ensures that players can continue playing after death, improving mission flow. This tutorial will guide you through setting up respawn points and configuring respawn settings in Arma 3.

📌 Prerequisites

• A copy of Arma 3 installed.

• A mission set up in the Eden Editor.

1️⃣ Enabling Respawn in Mission Settings

1. Open Your Mission in Eden Editor

   • Launch Arma 3 and open the Editor.

   • Load your existing mission or start a new one.

2. Access Mission Settings

   • Click on Attributes > Multiplayer.

   • Under Respawn, select Base, Custom Position, or Instant.

   • Adjust the Respawn Delay to control how long players wait before respawning.

✅ Respawn is now enabled in the mission settings!

2️⃣ Adding a Respawn Point

1. Place a Respawn Marker

   • Open the Entities menu on the left.

   • Navigate to Markers > NATO (BLUFOR) > respawn_west.

   • Place the marker where you want players to respawn.

2. Customize Respawn Position

   • Rename the marker to respawn_west for BLUFOR, respawn_east for OPFOR, or respawn_guerrila for independent forces.

   • Adjust the position and rotation for a more controlled respawn location.

✅ Players will now respawn at the designated marker!

3️⃣ Enabling Loadout Persistence on Respawn

1. Open Description.ext File

   • Navigate to your mission folder.

   • Create or edit the description.ext file.

2. Add the Respawn Loadout Code

   • Add the following code to preserve player loadouts on respawn:

     respawn = 3;
     respawnOnStart = 1;
     respawnDelay = 5;
     respawnTemplates[] = {"Loadout"};
     

   • Save the file.

✅ Players will now keep their loadouts after respawning!
