Help with a few ideas....

Hadokendude · Post by **Hadokendude** » Fri May 26, 2006 6:06 pm

I need help making a few ideas possible. Me and a friend were joking around about Halo and got some crazy ideas:

1. The first idea is to make an assault rifle shoot.....Cheetos. They would of course be slowed down, but when I tried that, I still couldn't see them. Also, I'm not trying to make a new model, I could always make the old model of the bullet orange....If there is one.

2. The second idea is to make the rocket launcher shoot out a grunt. Like head first, screaming, exploding, Covenant grunt. Imagine, being outnumbered, outgunned, and out of luck, and pulling out your trusty Rocket Launcher for an extremely climatic showdown, only for it to shoot out some scared-to-death, screaming grunt. Talk about anticlimatic.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

for the first one, assault rifle bullets dont have models.

second, you would need to pmi a grunt into the map and swap the rocket's (the projectile) meta number with the grunt's meta number

a cheeto-shooting assault rifle... interesting... you could swap it with the rocket, then remodel and reskin the rocket to look like a cheeto...

Ok, I made my cheeto-bullet model. Now how do I get it from a .gmax into whatever it needs to be for it to be a projectile model? Also, I tried PMI-ing the grunt in. For some reason I keep getting an Exception error whenever I start up, no modding done (except for the PMI). Any thoughts?

EDIT:Ok, I got the map working and the Grunt can be shot out of the gun. The only problem is 1.) It doesn't have the properties of a rocket ( I can live with that if it can't be changed) and 2.) It won't shoot out. By that I mean it doesn't go flying out, like a rocket. That's what I'm aiming for, not for it to spawn out of the launcher.

Yeah, I was wondering about making things fly like that also.

Can anyone help me out, or atleast point me in the right direction?

Go to the Projectiles folder and change the initial speed and final speed ( the original speed from expulsion and then the constant speed) of the rocket launcher/rocket ( which you should have pasted the grunt meta over). You should probably change it to something around 30, but I'm not sure what the rocket speed is normally.

Yeah, I tried changing the speeds and nada. The grunt just ended up appearing on the barrel of the Rocket launcher.

Can anyone tell me how to make my .gmax Cheeto bullet come out of the assault rifle? I know I need to convert it into something, but besides that I am clueless.
