i dont understand echelon and respawns

[WarRanger]

i have created a parent echelon and fireteam and everything is fine. I have one person as the player and the rest are AI and MP controlled. Why is it when i load the game thru the editor i only get one life? i dont get a chance to respawn.. is that only online with a friend joining that i will see that?

Cause i wanna be sure that i have it set up right. I have also launched the game and played it in Singleplayer with the same result. When my player is killed i dont get the f3 - f4 view or a respawn timer. I just get one top view of my dead soldier frozen on the screen and i cant watch the action unfold as it is still going on.

Any help is appreciated.

I've found when making maps you will only respawn when your hosting or connected to a LAN/Internet game. When just pressing the test button from the editor I get the same result as you. Its not problem for me as I have 2 machines that can run the game so I just network them to test the multilayer lvls.

One last thing as log as you have a respawn item on the map players should respawn at those locations. I recommend opening the test lvls that come with the editor, there's one called multilayer that should help.
