    I've come to a point where I have to turn to asking a noobish question because I can't work this out, the whole concept of items respawning and despawning is beyond me e.g. why does and object despawn/ dissapear but not respawn fo a certain amount of time?

    Anyway onto the situation. I've made a fun slayer game that I want to play with my friends using the invasion slayer gametype. I've done this because each team has a mongoose and a warthog that are respawn zones so you can have mobile respawn points. The problem I am having is that if you leave the vehicle parked in a certain place it respawns back at the base again, is there a way to prevent this/ prolong it for as long as possible?

    Extra information: Vehicles are indestructable, Movement is set to no gunner, The whole game takes place in one tier and the hills are outside the map, there is no way to destroy the vehicles e.g. driving into the sea because those parts of the map are blocked off

    Any replies would be greatly appretiated.

    Edit: sorry if anything about this post is weird, when I created the thread a error message came up saying something about cookies on line 3. I like cookies :p

    I've found this to be a bit of a problem too, while reworking Blind today. I was able to get my guns to respawn quickly enough but using the same setting, I wasn't able to get my Jetpack (or any other armor abilities) to respawn until the character using them dies or switches them out. The guns respawned regardless of whether or not I was holding them. I don't want to take up the space placing multiple objects on this map, I want to make it respawn quickly enough for another few players to grab one. Say, up to 4 or 8 people.

    Also, emo, isn't there a respawn timer under your X menu? There should be a "never" option.

    There is nothing you can do about the de spawning issue. It is pre-built into the game to stop things being left in the middle of nowhere.

    What you could do is have more vehicles for each team so there is always at least one vehicle outside of the bases.

    If you set it to respawn never it'll just despawn and never respawn again.

    Dang, it's ok, I'll just tell them to make sure to get in the vehicles often, there is a respawn zone inside either teams bases. Does anyone have a method of prolonging the inevitable respawn of the vehicles?
