HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Hey guys and girls. At the moment, I don't have a set up and probably won't for awhile, but I'm saving up at the moment, and I figure I should put some of my ideas to rest if need be before getting my hopes up.

A big portion of my inspiration to getting into modding is for filmmaking. If I ever got a group together to create a machinima piece, I'd probably do my best to make it as enjoyable as possible with the best mods that make the movie more appealing.

Now, my question is about whether or not something is currently possible with modding.

Obviously in the game, during Single Player, the Elites are scripted to talk at certain times, whether it be due to storyline or if you idle in front of them for a few seconds. In Multiplayer, the Elite growl, and their lips move, if you shoot them when they have no shields.

Is there a way... that someone could make a function for Elites, or any other creature that have naturally moving mouths (I don't know if anyone else besides Elites do... maybe Jackals?), to "talk" during an MP game? Like, I remember reading somewhere of someone's camera mod, where the D pad's every direction had a function. Four different camera angles. So, is it possible to do something like that? The four directionals to do four different mouth movements?

And for those of you who might think so, no I am not talking about cinematics, where the Elites talk. They talk in-game as well, all the time. I just don't know if it's possible to make them talk on demand with some kind of function...

so, that's my question.

Any info would be appreciated.

thats a sweet idea. There are sound/dialog tags in the sp maps, i bet theres a way to get them in the mp maps with demands, be great for taunting. Im gonna look into it.

Keep me posted man. I'd be very appreciated.

I dont think you could get the D pad to make someone talk because the camera mod your talking about is an emulator or trainer im not sure which one. But you would probobly just have to change the mouth movement to somthing that happens very frequent like a shield spark and swap them. This is what i think correct me if im wrong please.
