Confirm Vehicle type ticket loas / spawn times

[Heskey]

Hi all,

Might just be being blind here but I can't see any mention of ticket costs and respawn times attributed to vehicle destruction in the manual.

Could someone please confirm for me?

Check out page 19, Vehicle Information:

If a team vehicle asset is destroyed it incurs a ticket penalty:
‣Jeep or truck:
2 tickets
‣Transport helicopter:
5 tickets
‣APC/AAV/RECON:
5 tickets
‣Tank or IFV:
10 tickets
‣Jet or attack helicopter:
10 tickets

HMMWV/Rover/G-Klasse/etc: 2
Transport Truck: 2
Logi Truck: 2
Mobile AA: 5
APC: 5
IFV: 10
MBT: 10
Trans Heli: 5
CAS (all of them): 10


As for the respawn times, I'm not 100% sure but I think these are map dependent.

We don't list the respawn times because (as Hurricane mentioned above) the mapper is allowed to change it slightly if the map warrants it.

But the standards are:

Code: Select all

[u]30 Minutes (1800 seconds)[/u]
CO Arty (delayed)
Mapper-placed guns (Zis-3, AA, etc.) so they respawn if destroyed

[u]15 Minutes (900 seconds)[/u]
CO Mortars (delayed)
Jets
Attack helos
Bomb cars

[u]10-15 Minutes (600-900 seconds)[/u]
Tanks
APCs with ATGM/TOW
TOW vehicles

[u]10 Minutes (600 seconds)[/u]
APCs without ATGM
Light attack helos
AA vehicles
Jeeps and technicals with guns

[u]5 Minutes (300 seconds)[/u]
APCs with weak guns (trans APCs)
Jeeps and civi cars w/o guns
Trans helos
Boats
Trucks (trans and logi)
Dirt bikes

Actually there are some vehicles such as BMP-3 on Jabal, Havoc on Silent Eagle Lrg, attack huey on Ia Drang and some others still have 20 minute respawn/spawn

Anyone know the OSPREY respawn time? On Muttrah it seems to be 10+ mins?

If you go to Battlefield 2/mods/pr/levels/muttrah_city_2/server/gamemodes/gpm_cq/128 and open the gameplayobjects in notepad you will find every gameplay objects normally starting with the vehicles, in this case for Muttrah, in AAS gameplay mode (cq = conquest = aas) for the large layer ( 128 ).

Code: Select all

rem ********** Object Spawner **********

If you search using notepad search function on the (transport helicopter) you would eventually find the mv22

Code: Select all

rem [ObjectSpawnerTemplate: cpname_muttrah_city_2_aas128_carrier_0_2]
ObjectTemplate.create ObjectSpawner cpname_muttrah_city_2_aas128_carrier_0_2
ObjectTemplate.activeSafe ObjectSpawner cpname_muttrah_city_2_aas128_carrier_0_2
ObjectTemplate.modifiedByUser "Edmund Fovargue"
ObjectTemplate.isNotSaveable 1
ObjectTemplate.hasMobilePhysics 0
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 2 us_the_mv22
ObjectTemplate.minSpawnDelay [b]900[/b]
ObjectTemplate.maxSpawnDelay [b]900[/b]
ObjectTemplate.TimeToLive 99999
ObjectTemplate.Distance 100
ObjectTemplate.teamOnVehicle 1

min and max Spawn delay are always the same in PR and indicates the respawn time... with the mv22 in this case it is 900 seconds = 15 min.

Some vehicles never re-spawn and in that case they have a re-spawn of 999999 seconds

All vehicles that never re-spawn are on the map from the very beginning, where as vehicles like Jets are always delayed the amount of time from the beginning of the round equal to there re-spawn time.

So this is the long answer to your question and now you can search any map any gamemode and any layer to see what spawns and how long the re-spawn time is




Edit: A bit of bonus info is that some vehicles like the mec logistic truck on muttrah is not spawning "from" the main base but from South City.
This means that you need to control this flag and then the vehicle will spawn where-ever the spawn is and in this case the spawn point is back in main base.

Code: Select all

rem [ObjectSpawnerTemplate: cpname_muttrah_city_2_aas64_southcity_LogisticsTruck]
ObjectTemplate.create ObjectSpawner cpname_muttrah_city_2_aas64_[b]southcity[/b]_LogisticsTruck
ObjectTemplate.activeSafe ObjectSpawner cpname_muttrah_city_2_aas64_southcity_LogisticsTruck
ObjectTemplate.modifiedByUser "Edmund Fovargue"
ObjectTemplate.isNotSaveable 1
ObjectTemplate.hasMobilePhysics 0
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 1 mec_trk_logistics
ObjectTemplate.minSpawnDelay 300
ObjectTemplate.maxSpawnDelay 300
ObjectTemplate.TimeToLive 99999
ObjectTemplate.Distance 100
ObjectTemplate.teamOnVehicle 1

You can tell which flag the vehicle spawn is "linked" to by "ObjectTemplate.create ObjectSpawner " which in this case is ="cpname_muttrah_city_2_aas64_southcity_LogisticsTruck"

This is btw why I like the unusual spawns in Ramiel's AAS layer. Of-course it is done to help reflect what really happened during the fight in Mogadishu back then.

Looking at it from the US perspective

When you capture the 2nd flag Convoy Rendezvous 3 Humvee's will spawn on the actual flag. They don't re-spawn though.

When you capture the 4th flag Safehouse 2 UN IFV's and 1 UN APC will spawn in main. They also never re-spawn.

Unfortunately ARF seems to keep the US out of the city as the US team is normally not organised enough to control a small point inside the city long enough.
