Is it possible to make a singleplayer level were you can respawn?

I understand the checkpoint system (and I know how to do it), but what I want is for it to act like a multi-player map, where it respawns you at a spawn location when you die. I am mainly making it a single player map for more tag space.

Sure it's possible. Just make it a multiplayer map. You'll respawn like you do on all those ai maps. Multiplayer maps can be scripted just like singleplayer maps, the scripts just won't sync.

yes its very possible in sp...
*hint* "cheat_deathless_player 1" *hint*

i'd like to make it a multi-player map noob, but multi-player maps can't hold as many tags as single-player maps can. So that is why I want to make it respawnable.

No, its tool pro that does that, but either way if you exceed the limited amount of tags, the map will probably exception here and there.

Oh. I though you wanted a firefight with lives.
You know how the flood forms come back to life? That's called "ressurrection" in the tag. That's how i would do it, plus scripts.

Okay, but where in their tags is the ressurection? And could you explain how I could do it via scripts?

Well, script would have tom check when the player's health is too low, wait a couple secs, then teleport you to a flag and wive u weapons.

Okay, so I made the script, and it should work, but it says that player0 is an invalid object, yet I have the script to make him an object. Here are the two scripts:

(script static "unit" player0
(unit (list_get (players )0 )))

(script continuous respawn
(unit_get_health (player0))
(if (and (= (unit_get_health (player0)) 10)))
(unit_set_current_vitality (player0) 25 0)
(object_teleport (player0) respawn)
(sleep 300)
(unit_set_current_vitality (player0) 50 0)
(sleep 300)
(unit_set_current_vitality (player0) 75 0)
(sleep 300)
(unit_set_current_vitality (player0) 100 0)
)

remove the bold. and change "unit" to "object" (though i think i had one map where it was still
"unit" and the script still worked.... though i would still change it just in case)

(script static "object" player0
(list_get (players ) 0 ))

I fixed that problem(I added brackets around player0), now it says that
(if (and (= (unit_get_health (player0)) 10)))

it expected if condition then else
What do I do?

Hmm, it compiled but it didnt work. Here is the script:

(script continuous respawn
(unit_get_health (player0))
(if (>= (unit_get_health (player0)) 10)
(begin
(unit_set_current_vitality (player0) 25 0)
(object_teleport (player0) respawn)
(sleep 300)
(unit_set_current_vitality (player0) 50 0)
(sleep 300)
(unit_set_current_vitality (player0) 75 0)
(sleep 300)
(unit_set_current_vitality (player0) 100 0)
)
)
)

Hmm, I have it as you show it in your first quote. But it still refuses to work. It only has one variable.

I did a conversion of beavercreek MP to SP once, and I believe it had respawning. Here's the script I used.

(global boolean teleport false)
(global boolean onAdventure false)
(global boolean jTele false)

(script startup begin
	(set cheat_deathless_player true)
)

(script static void teleport_to_spawn
	(begin_random
		(if
			(= teleport true)
			(begin
				(set teleport false)
				(object_teleport (list_get (players) 0) spawn1)
			)
		)
		(if
			(= teleport true)
			(begin
				(set teleport false)
				(object_teleport (list_get (players) 0) spawn2)
			)
		)
		(if
			(= teleport true)
			(begin
				(set teleport false)
				(object_teleport (list_get (players) 0) spawn3)
			)
		)
		(if
			(= teleport true)
			(begin
				(set teleport false)
				(object_teleport (list_get (players) 0) spawn4)
			)
		)
		(if
			(= teleport true)
			(begin
				(set teleport false)
				(object_teleport (list_get (players) 0) spawn5)
			)
		)
		(if

				(object_teleport (list_get (players) 0) spawn9)
			)
		)
		(if
			(= teleport true)
			(begin
				(set teleport false)
				(object_teleport (list_get (players) 0) spawn10)

		)
		(if
			(= teleport true)
			(begin

				(object_teleport (list_get (players) 0) spawn11)

		)
		(if

(script continuous tele1
	(sleep_until (volume_test_objects tele1 (players)) 15)
	(if

		(begin

)

The reason I used begin random and all these flags was for random respawn locations.

Okay, I kinda understand your script gamma, but how can a deathless player's health be at 0? Or does it go to 0 but not kill them?

Btw its working now, thanks guys. And thanks for showing me the script, I understand how it works, but I'm making my guy respawn at a fixed location.

Kk, thanks, at first I thought that the get_health would be their health, like 100 or 50. But its fixed now.
Ok, how do I remove a players equipment? When I try giving them another set of equipment via (player_add_equipment (player0) player true)

It still keeps one weapon.

Okay, my player starting equipment has one assault rifle and one pistol. When my character "dies" he "respawns" and he has the assault rifle and the pistol. But he also keeps one weapon he had before he died.

Okay, I tried your idea, but you still respawn with one of your weapons. How do I fix this?
