Vehicle Respawn Scripts

Steps

1. Double click on the vehicle.
2. Inside the "Init" box, copy and paste one of the lines below that applies to the vehicle you're applying the script to.
3. Start the game and test the respawn; a quick tip, do it all at once. What I mean is, since we need to test the abandon script, take one of each vehicle and move it somewhere random that has no blufor/players. To test the destruction script, simply press "END" on your keyboard and watch it respawn.
