Doesn't persist AI locations, but if you put this code at the bottom of your mission's init.sqf they should teleport to you at the start of the mission (granted they are in your group)

waituntil {(player getvariable ["alive_sys_player_playerloaded",false])};
sleep 2;
{
	if !(isPlayer _x) then {
		if !(_x getVariable ["Persistent_Teleport", false]) then {
			_x setPos (getPos player);
			_x setVariable ["Persistent_Teleport", true, true];
			sleep .5;
		};
	};
} forEach units group player;

That's a good idea with syncing them to the Virtual AI system. Please report back if that works. Spyder and I have talked about AI teammate persistent locations in the past and from what I understand, it's not possible (but we never discussed how syncing them might or might now work) without a custom script.

He briefly mentioned that he might be able to write something that could be used as a one time teleport for AI teammates at mission start. That would be cool.

Regarding the ALiVE markers, I've never had an issue with or without ACE. Try going through every module and making sure Persistence is set to yes. I'm not sure if there's even an option for the markers in the modules but it's worth a look.

And here he is. LOL! Ninja'd and given a present too!

Edited it to only teleport AI once even if there are multiple players in the squad

Spyder. Hey man this script works amazingly. I have a question though and wonder if this just may be an issue with ALiVE and vehicle location persistence.

So I just tested this. I played for one hour with a 3CB vehicle and another hour with a Massi UKSF vehicle. In both instances, I played the mission, got out of the vehicle and server saved and exited. In both instances, when I restarted the server, I spawned at my last know location (with my AI teammates which is awesome) but the vehicles I had used had disappeared.

I keep hearing that it's "impossible" for vehicle location not to persist as long as you enter and exit the vehicle, but I swear man I have everything that has the word persistence in it set to "yes" and vehicle persistence simply doesn't work with ALiVE. No matter the class, vehicles just vanish, literally vanish with ALiVE when you continue a mission.

Is there any way around this with your script or ALiVE in general that you are aware of? I enter a vehicle. Exit. Restart the server and the vehicle is gone forever right now. With or without your script. No matter the mods.

Now, all that said, these are vehicles that have been originally spawned wth your spawner module. If perhaps these are treated differently than manually placed vehicles, and not considered physical and salable objects with ALiVE, that could explain it. If you think it could be useful, I could definitely manually place some vehicles in my mission and try your script/server save and exit again.

Will need some good old testing probably when devs who know how to analyze persistence logs can look at it.

I am using the virtualized all units except synced option. Strange. I'll try changing it.

Will that kill performance though?

Are you using any vehicle mods at all? I'm gonna test this later with Massi's UKSF vehicles and 3CB.

@incontinenetia Rhs but doesn't seem to matter too much.

Yep! That solved it. I love you so much!!! LOL!

This has to be a bug so hopefully a dev sees this thread. Thank you so so much! With Spyder's new AI teleport script this is a dream come true! Thanks guys!

Like have them move back to base when you respawn?

If so, in the root of your mission folder create a folder named onPlayerRespawn.sqf

Inside that file put this code inside

{
	if !(isPlayer _x) then {
		_x setPos (getPos player);
		sleep .5;
	};
} forEach units group player;

Could someone take a look at my files if they have a second? I currently have the script working when I restart the server (it saves my location and my AI teammates teleport to my location) but when I die, I'm respawning at my current position.

I have respawn= "Base" so I'm not sure what I'm missing or if that's wrong. Perhaps I have the onPlayerRespawn.sqf provided in this thread set up wrong?

EDIT: I forgot to place the respawn_west marker editor. I'll just go ahead and smack myself now. :)
