That could help...

That is unneeded cause the ) at the end of the if command closes it and the second ) at the end of carbine closes the script but I could use the (begin

No, you need it for the (if ), where is (begin (etc) (etc) (etc))

Yes I know that, there I edited to have (begin

You obviously didn't know that seeing how you said it was unneeded before.

Anyway, that script doesn't need to be continuous or you'll have weapons constantly being created. What you want (or at least what I'd guess you want based on the context) is the weapons to spawn when the player enters the trigger volume, correct? Just make a startup script with a sleep_until the player gets there, then the rest of the commands can create the weapons. You can also give the weapons a shared naming pattern (e.g. checkpoint_1_ar_1) then use (object_create_anew_containing checkpoint_1) to create them all at once.

I removed the weapon part cause for some odd reason they would disappear about 10 or so seconds after they were created so I just went back to using netgame_equipment

Oh, yeah if it's set to multiplayer then any weapon tags you spawn will disappear soon. But I don't see why you'd have it set to multiplayer if you're making a campaign mission.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't see where he said he was making a campaign mission. I see why you'd think so but remember, this is the guy who made those Battle of Asis MP maps with AI. He'd make a campaign for MP if he could.

I don't remember, I was not a part of Halomaps at that time; but I am aware of those who make MP maps with AI where you may walk about killing them, I just didn't see why it would be necessary to set it to MP, unless it is of course the respawning aspect of which he wishes to take advantage.

I wish to take advantage of respawning, not having to use map_name and not having to go through making a script that will make teleporters work in a SP map.
