Third person for a weapon?

[Ultamis]

Is there a way to make certain weapons have only 3rd person aiming?Like the missile pod/turret in halo 3?

[ScottyGEE]

Well within an application such as entity, no...However, if Mike decided to implement that feature into the next iteration of yelo...then yes
But currently, not to my knowledge. Unless you extensivley modify a vehicle.

[Ultamis]

That sucks...

[Crazy_Colombiano]

cant u just change the camera positioning?

[xbox7887]

Scotty is right, you would have to make the game think you're in a vehicle...

Is there a way to spawn players in vehicles?

Scotty is right, you would have to make the game think you're in a vehicle...

make it think you are holding a turret, much easier.

[Ultamis]

the question is,how do you make it "think" your in a turret while still walking around like normal?

You don't. ATM, its impossible.

Halo 2 Modding is 1% inspiration, 99% sweat/typing

[xzodia]

^^^that was a pointless post, anyway IMO its more like 60% inspiration...at least it should be, a lot of people seem to forget about making something inspirational

i think this might be possible, i'll need to have a browse in the weap tag...

edit:
apparently not, i could have sworn there was something about cameras in there....

Scratch my last post; I'm sure its possible, with an assload of scripting. =/

[ScottyGEE]

Why would it need a whole lot of scripting?
Heck, all you need is a vehicle that has two character animations...Such as the ghost. While stationary, you have reference the masterchief standing animation (and make the sentinal pose the default one). then for the moving animation, you'd give it the walking animation.
then you'd have to go to work on moving the ghost.trak to be in a good position, which would be lots of trial and error...and finally you'd give it an extra weapon so it is usable

there! easy! (if what I said was correct, which it does in my head )

ScottyGEE ARE A GENIUS! DAAAAA =D

[xzodia]

that would prob work except it would be difficult to make mc hold the weapon

where is turk when you need him...

[ScottyGEE]

That is why I suggested making the sentinal holding pose as default...Because well...When do you have no weapons to see that default pose? Rarely unless in machinima...

So changing the upper body to the pose of thwne MC is holding the sentinal beam or brute shot is what should be done IMO...

I'd really like to test this...Soon my modding will become streamlined with the xbox and a tv going in my room...So I may check it out later

[fjgamer]

Still, is there a way to spawn players already in vehicles? Perhaps removing the ability to get out? I know I could swap vehi modes with weap modes. That's a start. I just don't know how I could get collision and all that junk working properly.

[Ultamis]

any progress?
