Hm... *scraches chin*
First off: SetSubModeFlags(0x1);
Secondly: Catch new player - I think... newplayer: Then teleport him to ghost!

I hope... Anyone care to fill in?

I don't think so.
At least not in Single Player, since JK apparently "restarts" the level by loading a savegame that it took when it loaded.

I can only suggest that you try the AutoSave() cog command. If that doesn't work, then you're out of luck.

For MP however, this ghost-warping thing is probably feasible.

Not if you set the submodeflags to 0x1...

Oh, ok. (I've never looked at sub mode flags before)

Since this is the case, G-Man, you could theoretically catch the respawned player via "newplayer" (as Edward said).

Code:

startup:
   SetSubModeFlags(0x1);
stop;
newplayer:
   TeleportThing(GetSenderRef(), ghost);
stop;

Something like the above might work.
