How can I move a seat's markers?

I replaced a warthog passenger boarding seat with a passenger seat. Now I want to move the seat to the back of the hog and orient the person in the seat to face behind the hog (I already nulled out the turret).

How can I move seats? (in noob terms if at all possible)

This is in the wrong section this belongs in Halo 2 modding General

Use this plugin. Find the marker the seat is attached to (something like warthog_p_b I think) and change its coords to about where the turret's coords are.
Alternately, you could null it, then rename the turret marker to warthog_p_b and just rotate it by 3.142.
Also, if you lean its pitch back a bit, you should be able to have mc sitting back, but his upper body should still move correctly for aiming. This will make it so his feet don't go into the floor of the hog.

Alright, so I got the player to go into the back area of the hog when he sits. Now, what values should I add to make him face behind the hog with his legs over the back edge of the hog?

You'll want to set the yaw to 3.142 (probably--that's pi, which I believe is 180 degrees in radians). That should have him facing backwards. For his feet to be hanging over the back, I guess you'd just position him back there, but his legs will still go through the metal. Either that or he can be sitting on top of the back edge, I guess.

Thanks, I'll try that now.

Ohh dude, great idea. If you aren't gonna release the MC seats where they are on the back of the hog in a mod would you mind sending me a PM?

I did this the other day and posted a pic in the pics section and made the seat upside down. It was hilarious.
