I dont think it would work, but if you want target practice, take the wounded marine from POA and put it in the map, then meta swap so that he has the MC's body.

Yes it would work, and its been done before... alot...

Just swap the cyborg_mp biped with a projectile.

Problem is... other people wont see the decoys.
And if you shoot too many of them out, it lags alot.

how do i swap it when projectiles and biped are in a different section.... do i have to save the cyborg_mp meta and then inject it into a projectile.... because if thats how u do it then i have tryed it and it doesn't work

You have to do some offset swapping in a hex editor.

I'm pretty sure i just copy the meta code thing (the number) and paste it in the place of a projectile meta code.

Or do that, I'm just more used to hex editing.

Hex is scary, I only use it for name changes.

im w/ Hunter on the scary thing, hex would be a bit too freaky for some n00bs

Can ne1 tell me what makes them act like decoys, coz when i made a gun shoot Elites in my AI mod, they came out blue, and the yellow elites started attacking them, but didnt attack each other.

Why does this happen?

goto HMT and swap the meta of the AR bullett(for ex.) with the meta of bipeds/cyborg. Then they just stand there

Hex pwns.
It the hardest thing to mod with, and the first thing.

i never hex. if i want to swap a projectile, i swap the meta using halo map tools. hex is a thing of the past.

Hex pwnz, just like MNC said.

I consider it easyer for swapping non-related tags.

Or.. You could just change the tag type and then swap it and change the tag back..
