Cannon15 4 Posted August 12, 2012 Hello, This is more then likely the worst moment I have had on DayZ But uhm.When me and my Friend found a choper in electro he shot the guy (He was landing) and took it to pick me up.So we had fun we picked up our other friends and then the server gave us a 5 min Restart warning so were like "Okay lets park it and save it"Then we saved it (about 5 to 7 times to make sure) then the server restarted I was like okay its back up.I was the first to join the server (it still said creating) I joined and opened it.Now I am wondering if the cause was because I joined to early or what but I waited 24 Hours and it still isn't there.I am wondering if it needs another restart or should I ask the host to restart please help me with this.If you can't help Thanks for reading and caring. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Priceless 154 Posted August 12, 2012 It was a hacked in heli.How do you know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aiekillu 11 Posted August 12, 2012 You need another restart, it's not a hacked helicopter, the hacked ones can't be saved (I'm not 100% sure but almost)So ask for a second restart, and I hope you parked it in a safe area ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dolph 41 Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) We have to restart our server(s) twice all the time in order for our tents/vehicles to show up again.It's annoying.Edit:We even restarted twice but it seems like nothing is surviving a restart.

Malachi Krieg 22 Posted August 12, 2012 Scripted vehicles will despawn after resets and/or a period of time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kieran.thorpe88@gmail.com 12 Posted August 12, 2012 Does anyone know what the respawn time is when a heli is destroyed? i play on EU32 and found the chopper flew it around and blew it up (whoops) but its been 2 weeks and it has not re-spawned on the server at all... and before you say maybe weve just not found it trust me it NOT there...any insight would be grand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kieran.thorpe88@gmail.com 12 Posted August 12, 2012 also its not exactly a great way of testing an alpha as far as i can tell because there's only one way to check if something like this is broken.... and that's cheat...........Now i don't know if the vehicle spawn thing is still borked as you cant destroy vehicles it seems (no you cant save them after they blow up) some of them just disappear when they take damage = to that, that would otherwise destroy them. sometimes they take infitite damage untill someone climbs in and blows up as so as you enter the drivers seat.But yea as im a pessimist this is probably going to go ignored/missed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bezerker 11 Posted August 12, 2012 had a heli myself for 2 days and after restart ours also dissapeared and to our suprise an hour or so later saw it fly over us in cherno Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harken (DayZ) 57 Posted August 12, 2012 So wait, helicopters do save to location? I have never had one survive a server restart, though to be fair I didn't try restarting the server again to see if the chopper came back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kieran.thorpe88@gmail.com 12 Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) hmm ours survived sever restarts the day we had it and always saved location, but once it was destroyed never respawned at all its now been 2 weeks still not respawned anywhere Edited August 12, 2012 by Evertos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RotorGod 39 Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) I'm not sure if anybody else is thinking this, but if you killed another player for a heli that they may have taken the time to fix and repair themselves then do you really have any right to complain when the heli is not there for you?I'm not trying to flame anybody but it seems silly at how attached you became to that vehicle, you do have to remember that in Day Z you will die, a lot.Don't try to become too attached to any gun or item in the game, not everything is forever.
