Great job, btw.

No, I didn't mean custom animations. I was referreing to making a vehicle with a biped fly from point A to point B. Like in campaign mode how some vehicle movements are scripted (pelican for one).

Pelicans and Covenant Dropships are not scripted, but recorded animations. Recorded animations are used in place for vehicle movement, because scripting can cause it to erratically move to a spot it is not supposed to, or how it was controlled. This is why recorded animations were made. However, Bungie did not like the tedious work for making those said animations, so after Halo 1, they decided to rework the engine, to allow AI to control vehicles. These AI could not fight, only drive vehicles that could not be usable by a player, such as a Pelican/Phantom. These drivers would be invisible, but in Halo 3, you can see the Pelican driver, but not the Phantom driver.

Hmm, learned something new. Well, OK, but can you make an AI spawn and then move from point A to B with this, as you can script in CE?

Can someone please send me a map with the rider ejection script in it? My email is [email protected]

how about you just learn how to put a damn script into a map.

halomacmodder · Post by **halomacmodder** » Tue Feb 05, 2008 3:54 pm

Because, I tried everything. I rebuilt the map with C#MT, HMT .5, and HHK. No matter how hard I try, I cannot get it to work! Just please! I need this! Badly!

Recorded animations are scripted in a way. An example would be like:

Code: Select all

(recording_play_and_delete foehammer_cliff foehammer_cliff_out)

That's extracted using the Zteam script extractor that I created. The recorded animations are played using scripts, so they can be considered to be "scripted".

@tyler
Can you show me the script (if its my default one or not) and the error it displays, picture of screen at moment would be nice.

@ShadowSpartan
//respect
Can you by any chance explain the syntax "header" (the first syntax with the syntax count and such..) because i have found out all its info yet.

@Self
things to fix/add
-global support
-2+ script compiling
-look into mac version error

When I created the script extractor, Choking Victim and I did not use any kind of syntax "header" to navigate through the syntax data. Keep in mind that this was my first big app, I had never done programming for Halo before. I have improved a lot since then, but if you really want to know how I did it (even though it is really sloppy), then I can explain some of it. If I can even remember it, since it has been so long. I have thought about going back and messing with script extraction some more, improving the speed of my app and such, but I have so many other programs to get done so thats at the bottom of my schedule. Anyway hit me up on AIM or a PM.

Could someone please send me the map with the script that makes it so that you won't get ejected by vehicles? Please! I cannot wait!

I could have swore you could do that without any scripting.

K, make a tutorial for the Macintosh so it'll work?

Andrew_b · Post by **Andrew_b** » Tue Feb 05, 2008 6:10 pm

i dont understand you main. It seems that if i say something you always must comment it back like im some dumbass. Why should i write a tut so it can work on a mac. Conures taking care of it. Also im not on a mac so it would be pointless...and macs have PPC...It would be a waste of my time. How about YOU learn how to do it and take all the credits? or are you too leet to do work anymore...

Well, let's break that down.

I wasn't/aren't?

Well, you obviously got this to work, I figured you'd share some light on the rebuilding process.

Andrew_b wrote:Also im not on a mac so it would be pointless...and macs have PPC...It would be a waste of my time.

If you spent this much time into a tutorial, instead of all these reasons why not to, you'd have it done already.
Oh, and just so you know: Just a statement, not a 'personal grudged attack'.

Andrew_b wrote:How about YOU learn how to do it and take all the credits?

I don't mod Halo anymore, really.
Nothing has sparked my interest until this popped up.

Andrew_b wrote:or are you too leet to do work anymore...

Nup, it's out of my league to do this scripting stuffs.

Lol, a personal attack on a misunderstanding.
Voided.

I fail to realize how i would have a mac tut in 5 minutes when im on a pc....

Im not wasting my time. I rarely mod either, i now program.

You're missing the point, Andrew.
Forget the Os war and your irrational thoughts of the 'better Os'.

The point is, I wanted you to type out what you did to make it work for you, and then it may give Macintosh users a better understanding of what you did.
