AI Respawn Custom Loadout

I know this has been covered in many placed, but I can't seem to get it to work. Currently, I have an AI squad working with me, and have been able to set up a helicopter reinforcement script as used here (bottom of the page).
My squad starts out with a custom load out I have set up in the arsenal. Is there any way I can setup the AI to respawn with that custom load out again? Or better yet with what they were carrying at death? Currently they just spawn with default gear. I have given them specific variable names, and assume it has to do with the array, but just don't know much scripting.
Thanks in advance.

Try this:

Specifically:
Loadout Organizer
- Create folders to store loadouts and other folders
- Save, Load, Delete, and Name loadouts
- View class gear before loading it
- Transfer loadouts and folders to other players and AI (configurable)
- Access Virtual Arsenal (configurable)
- Choose a loadout to automatically load class on respawn
Usage: Sync module to object to add the loadout manager action to it

So this works great minus one thing. After I respawn, I no longer have access to the loadout manager. Any idea as to why this is?

It's because the action does not persist through death. It's usually recommended to add the action to a flagpole or ammo box so it is always available at a permanent static location.

Wow that was a fast response. Thanks!
Is there anyway to make it persist through death via a trigger or something? I know the support requestor module (the vanilla one not alive) maintain through respawn.

I tried the following with no success.
this addEventHandler ["respawn", _this synchronizeObjectsAdd ["SpyderAddons_sup_loadout"]];
It tells me Local Variable in global space. No idea what that means.

Set variable name to SpyderAddons_sup_loadout and then try to synchronize witch its variable name using correct eventhandler syntax
```
addEventHandler ["respawn", { _this synchronizeObjectsAdd [modulevariablename]}];
```

I get an error "type array, expected object" when I set it up like that.

Won't really work like that since it only applies the action upon module initialization

this addEventHandler ["respawn", {
	_x setVariable ["LoadoutManager_Settings", [true,true]];
	_x addAction ["Access Loadout Manager", {[nil,"open", _this] call SpyderAddons_fnc_loadoutManager}];
}];
