#REDIRECT [[Arma 3: Respawn]]
The new Respawn Screen will be released with the 1.60 update for Arma 3. The screen is based on the older version present in Arma 3 before, but it changes design of the old version and adds some new features.
{{Important|The screen is shown only if respawn templates '''''MenuPosition''''' and/or '''''MenuInventory''''' are used in a mission! For more info see [[Arma_3_Respawn|Respawn documentation]].}}
<br>
'''Main Features:'''
* <font color="red">[NEW]</font> Spectator Camera (requires Spectator [[Arma_3_Respawn#Respawn_Templates|respawn template]])
* <font color="red">[NEW]</font> Autorespawn
* <font color="red">[NEW]</font> Role selection
* <font color="red">[NEW]</font> Limits
* Position selection
* Loadout selection
* Loadout preview
* Loadout details
* Remaining respawns (requires Tickets [[Arma_3_Respawn#Respawn_Templates|respawn template]])
* Teammates alive
<br>
== Basic Features ==
=== Spectator Camera ===
The Spectator Camera used in here is slightly modified (no free camera available etc.) version of Spectator Mode. For full documentation see  [[EG_Spectator_Mode|Spectator Mode documentation]].
{{Important|Mission designer needs to use the '''''Spectator''''' respawn template (see [[Arma_3_Respawn|Respawn documentation]]), the camera is disabled otherwise.}}
 
=== Loadouts and Roles ===
The main purpose of the roles is to make things more clear and simple for player when selecting loadout. All the loadouts available in a mission are now divided into various roles.<br>
Mission designer can use roles already created in the game config, or custom roles can be defined in ''description.ext'' file. Loadouts with no role assigned are automatically assigned to the ''Default'' role.<br>
'''Loadout config example:'''
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">
class CfgRespawnInventory
{
      class WEST1
      {
          displayName = "Light"; // Name visible in the menu
          icon = "\A3\Ui_f\data\GUI\Cfg\Ranks\sergeant_gs.paa"; // Icon displayed next to the name
          role = "Test";
         
          // Loadout definition, uses same entries as CfgVehicles classes
          weapons[] = {
                "arifle_MXC_F",
                "Binocular"
          };
          magazines[] = {
                "30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag",
                "30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag",
                "SmokeShell"
          };
          items[] = {
                "FirstAidKit"
          };
          linkedItems[] = {
                "V_Chestrig_khk",
                "H_Watchcap_blk",
                "optic_Aco",
                "acc_flashlight",
                "ItemMap",
                "ItemCompass",
                "ItemWatch",
                "ItemRadio"
          };
          uniformClass = "U_B_CombatUniform_mcam_tshirt";
          backpack = "B_AssaultPack_mcamo";
      };
      class WEST2
      {
          // Alternative configuration pointing to a CfgVehicles class. Loadout will be copied from it.
          vehicle = "B_soldier_AR_F"
      };
};
</syntaxhighlight>
'''Role config example:'''
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">
class CfgRoles
{
      class Test
      {
          displayName = "Test";
          icon = "\A3\Ui_f\data\GUI\Cfg\Ranks\sergeant_gs.paa";
      };
};
</syntaxhighlight>
Note: ''To add any loadout as available in your mission, you need to use the [[BIS_fnc_addRespawnInventory]] function!''
 
=== Item Disabling ===
Respawn positions, Roles and Loadouts can be disabled. This can happen automatically or can be manually called by mission designer.<br>
'''Automatic Disabling'''
* Unit used as respawn point is dead
* Role/Loadout limit was reached (see [[Arma_3_Respawn:_New_Respawn_Screen#Limits|Limits]])
'''Manual Disabling'''<br>
Any item in Location, Role or Loadout list can be disabled by mission designer. This is done via the [[BIS_fnc_showRespawnMenuDisableItem]] function.
 
=== Limits ===
One of the new features is ability to limit roles and loadouts. This way only limited number of player can use given role/loadout in a mission. This is done by optional parameters in the [[BIS_fnc_addRespawnInventory]] function.<br>
'''Example:'''
[missionNamespace,["WEST1",5,10]] call BIS_fnc_addRespawnInventory;
First number is limit for given loadout (use 0 for no limit), second number is limit for role assigned to given loadout (use 0 for no limit).
* Only role or only loadout can be limited at one moment, if there is limit for both, then only role uses limit.
* If the limit definition for role is called multiple times with different numbers, then the highest number is used.
<br>
== Advanced Features ==
===Timeout disabling===
Mission designer can disable the timeout used between death of a unit and opening of the respawn screen.<br>
This can be simply achieved by setting variable ''BIS_RscRespawnControls_skipBlackOut'' to [[true]]. For original timeout set it to [[nil]].
