swapping banshee's hlmt + messing with boost

Snaku · Post by **Snaku** » Fri Mar 24, 2006 8:22 pm

For some reason when I swap the banshee's hlmt to a tank, it can't be shot down. Like rocket after rocket don't even touch the shields. There's cosmetic damage still, but I can't hurt the pilot. Why?
[edit] Figured it out. So freakin' simple. Just had to change the seat from banshee_d to scorpion_d.
Also, if I want it to be able to crush any other vehicle, how would I go about doing that? I'm taking away its weapon and making it into a flying battering ram.
[edit] Figured this one out too. I think it was in hlmt. Click vehicle parts, and one of the options is mass. I tripled the mass of the hull and added another digit to each tread's. It's a battering ram now.
And is there any way of making it boost more like a wraith? Like a short burst that has to recharge, instead of a sustained boost. I tried changing the boost time but that doesn't seem to have any effect.
I had originally but the hlmt on a warthog and made it fly but the boost also raised it up, as well as flying forward, but it allowed me to set a time limit on it.
Also, when you make a hog fly, why does it flip when you pull back on the stick? Is there any way to stop it?
[s'more edit] How can I increase the amount of damage done by an impact with my "skyram?" I also want the skyram to be destroyed if it hits another object that it can't smash through at full boost. I'm testing it in coag, boosting from one end to the other and bailing out just before hitting the wall. (I gave it a TON of boost, btw) It takes four of these impacts to destroy it. I want to get it down to one, but without making the ram more vulnerable to weapons fire. Also, I'd like to make it's explosion when it's destroyed much more powerful. Basically, it's a kamikaze vehicle, but it's meant to be able to smash through smaller vehicles or people. Btw, if you wanna' see pics of it, they're over here: http://www.halomods.com/forums/viewtopi ... 9aa07d3dba on the bottom of the first page.
[even more edit] 48 hours and still no answers? Someone must know how to do this. I just don't believe that I'M the biggest vehicle expert in this forum.

[23:21] Daniel "DazzaJay" Fitzgerald: okie

you could try that, apparently he had a jeep that when destroyed you could still use the turret till the jeep dissapeared.
