hi i was going to try and make a map but before i do is it possiable to have a machine like the montier in backwash in a map.

the monitor is an ai on the map with sound, effects, dialog, actual model, bitmaps

there should be one of these for every category so getting ahold of these tags and guerilla you could put this into a multiplayer map (it would take a while but is not impossible, although there would be no way to kill it, it would require modding to a tag that i have no knowledge of, if that is what you are thinking

(i.e. a gun range style map, at the other end of the map lies these annoying sound balls of light, wait, there monitors, everyone wips out there br's and the firing doesn't stop)

i don think it is a ai

If you want it to move then yes it has to be AI

The monitor on Backwash does not utilize AI, it is a scripted object.

so what if i scipt a marine biped will it work

Put it like this

Unless you got guerilla radio, (Not you) You can't.

Sorry dude, but the tags arent in the h2ek, so unless you has madhax or guerilla radio, You can't.

madhax

is mad hax a program like radio? or is that 1337

No. You're misunderstanding the situation.

I believe what tural is trying to say is that (correct me if im wrong) the monitor is part of the actual map backwash, not the geometery but sort of part of it (confused myself)

EDIT: yea wow cyrticfarm said was i trying way better

I thought it meant that its a scripted object so that it just changes its coordinates. And if you do it with a marine, it would just be screwy?

When I referred to it as scripted, I did not mean it is necessarily a script, just that it is a static event, not dynamic as is AI. Don't read too much into that.

Well if its a script you want in the map I might be able to help.

It's actually a machine that, as Tural stated, is scripted to move in a circle around the level.

well whatever it is i want it in my maps.

well then read the posts or ask grimdoomer bcuz he seems like he "might" help

someone, probably tural has said it paraphrase: this is to help you mod not make the mods for you

i know that thats why im wating for gravemind and the other mod tools.

also a simliar person on the forums is asking the same question at the halo pc modding disscuion sub forum.
