 Ok so heres every thing in short.
 So say the character that's playing the module, is fighting the last boss. Rather then being sent ALL the way to their *Home Base*.  I want it to be  like
If the character dies in this area "only" they respawn to an area close by. Is that clear, and possible?

[FunkySwerve]

Yes. You could do it fairly simply by setting a variable on the area, like Respawn_Waypoint, of type string, with the tag of the waypoint you want to port them to instead of 'home base'. Then, in the respawn script, check for that variable on GetArea of the respawner, and if found, use GetWaypointByTag to get the location you're respawning them to.

Sorry Funky for the late reply.
I think i've got that down, but just to make sure, so if i wanted an object such as an Light Shaft to be the respawn location.
make its tag say something unique like " Abyss_Respawn" ?
Then from there go to the desired area, find the respawn script and add the name?
Or is it located in Mod-Properties?

[Omega27]

What do i place when in the Value spot?

[wyldhunt1]

It'll be the respawn script.
Without looking at your script, it's hard to say exactly how to add it.
In general, here's what you need:
1: Lightshaft with a unique tag such as Abyss_Respawn
2: Unique area tag for the boss encounter
3: Altered re-spawn script.

Or, Funkies idea would need
1: Lightshaft with a unique tag
2: String set on the area and set to the custom tag of your respawn object
3: Altered respawn script

To alter the respawn script, you'll need to look through it and find where it jumps the player to the begining of the mod. I don't play single player often, but I doubt that's default engine behavior.
There should be existing code in the respawn script that already jumps the player.
You want to integrate your change with that part.

I'd do something like:
if (GetTag(GetArea(oPC)) != "CustomAreaTag")
{
//Normal code fires to jump them to the begining
}
else
{
//Custom Code to jump player to GetObjectByTag("Abyss_Respawn")
}

If you need more than that, you may need to post your re-spawn code.
Unless you're using the default scripts, but I don't recall them doing that.

Funky was suggesting using a variable on the area, which would define the string of the objects tag..
Set any unique variable on the area as a string and set it to the tag of your spawn point.
IE: string Custom_Spawn = Abyss_Respawn
So,

if (GetLocalstring(GetArea(oPC, "Custom_Spawn")) == "")
{
//Normal code fires to jump them to the begining
}
else
{
//Custom Code to jump player to GetObjectByTag(GetLocalString(GetArea(oPC), "Custom_Spawn"))
}

EDIT: I missread Funkies idea.

I have the normal script set up right now. Its kinda simple but at the same time a major headache
dont know what would happened if i tampered with it.

 oh so in truth all that extra stuff i dont need at all and is related to OC stuff?

[Omega27]

do i have to make multiple copies of this for each special area

[ehye_khandee]

My advice is, remove all the OC stuff - THEN adjust the remaining script to suit your needs and use that ONE on enter script for every area in your module (you can differentiate how it functions based on which area the PC is actually in). Hope that makes sense. We do this with our module of over 1337 areas and it works just fine (not to mention it keeps the number of actual scripts fairly low - important in a large module.

Be well. Game on.

No,  The script only goes into the OnPlayerRespawn on the module.      Just like the original script it will default to respawning to a waypoint named  NW_DEATH_TEMPLE, unless there is a local string set on the area named Respawn_Waypoint  in that case it will Spawn the PC to the tag that Respawn_Waypoint is set to for that area.  

So if in a given area you wanted the PC to respawn to a waypoint with the Tag ALT_DEATH_1

You would edit the area properties:

Go the the advanced tab and Click the variables button.
Give your varaiable a name of:  Respawn_Waypoint
Give it a Type of:                            String
and a Value of :                             ALT_DEATH_1
and hit the add button.

then you just need to make sure that you have only one valid Object  with that tag in the module.

Oh thank you both so! much very helpful!! Im such a newbie at scripting -.-'
