Reviving a destroyed vehicle. Version 4.167

[IamKirk]

In version 4.167 when I am in the Mission Editor testing a scenario and my vehicle gets destroyed is there a way to "un-destroy" it?

 

I know how to do repair all, but that option seems to only be available on vehicles that are not destroyed.

That may be the one case where it doesn't work.

You could use a region and a trigger

I don't think he's talking about scripting but rather trying to rejuvenate a vehicle if its destroyed while using the Editor to test a scenario.

Yeah, i should be more clear; the only way to 'revive' destroyed units while running/testing a scenario in the mission editor is to set 'revive' conditions. Referencing a region is a very simple way of doing it. Also referencing a trigger gives you a sort of ON/OFF switch for the revive zone. I find this useful for ammunition/ lethality/ matchup testing where you want to test repeatedly without needing to exit and reload the scenario a hundred times.

Ill attach a video showing how to setup a triggered revive zone, this may or may not be relevant to the OP's particular (and unspecified) needs.

Gotcha, Zero.   That makes sense.  I'll do that.

I don't use zones, when im testing,  I make all vehicles repair all if this unit is this unit

once im done testing and sce is complee, I take off therepair all if condition, altho that does have its disadvantages

I dont know what you would be 'testing' by making things invincible. There would be no observable effects of combat...

I do that when I am testing the engage distance for each vehicle that are in positions.   Instead of having to re-start the sce each time a vehicle is destroyed, I circumvent that by creating a unit that spawns outside of the engagement distance of the first vehicle.  that vehicle is used to test where I want the vehicle to be when a unit first engages it.   and I do that for  multiple vehicles at a time  to cut down my creation time.  I don't use vehicles for scenario to test  I create a sole vehicle to do just that.
