hi guys, i watched Lee's vid on respawning and started to put together a script to just basically respawn a critter after a said time so basically the player can stay on the map to hunt, i have this working for non critter entities e.g food, rocks etc etc. but for the characters long story short not happening :/ here's what i wrote can anyone see why it doesn't work? cheers guys.

and a well fed mouse on a wheel

I only smile because i have absolutely no idea whats going on

Two things:

1) What causes spawnmaker_cycle to become >= to g_Time + 1000?
2) Once a characters health drops below 0 the script is no longer called so it is unlikely that the <= 1 check will will ever get called.

What I do is set the health to some crazy high value, say 30000 + initial health or so, and then check if it falls below that value.

But I don't bother with the spawn, I just hide/unhide it as needed (plus move it around the map to suit the situation) also remember to use CollisionOff/CollisionOn as you don't want it getting in your way when hidden.

Tbh m8 i was watching Lee's video on respawning which didn't work so started adding some conditions which "cough" didn't work :/
then came across Fumar's script below



which i cannot seem to get to work, I've also tried smallg's respawner script which also doesn't want to work for me? ....coffee time methinks.
