[Halo 2] How do I spawn new mach injections?

Post by Schmoozer17 »

So I successfully added the covenent watchtower, to ascension, using this tutorial..... http://files.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=55624

How do I spawn the watchtower? I spawed it by duplicating the needler, then used entity BSP viewer to move the two sections to the desired location, and then in the game it kept respawning "new" towers (I only need one!) until the map froze :(

I really want to just say hey spawn once, be at x,y,z, and be able to use it as though it were part of the map.

Thanks,
-Schmoozer :)

Err...you contradicted yourself. You said you followed the tutorial (Which adds the mach through the Machine reflexive) yet, you say you spawned it by replacing the needler. There is no way to make that tower spawn (and be active) without it being spawned through the machine placement reflexive.

what im trying to say in the first part was, I got it injected in the mach pallete, but I don't see it....

Soo I found another tutorial saying hey just duplicate a weapon in the ITMC tag, swap its reference tag to that of say the mach pallete and you can spawn it.

Im guessing im spawning it as a replaced weapon doesn't work.....
How come in the first part when i opened the map and its in the mach tag i wasnt able to move it around and be able to use it?

Does that make more sense? sorry for the confusion....
