HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Hi, I found a vehicle in old_mombasa called covenant gun tower. I am 100% sure these are the mortar cannons that are positioned on the beach. Is it possible that it could function like the one in the E3 Halo 2 Demo? Its proj, vehi, and html tags are there, but no sounds. It'd be a cool thing to add to a bsp conversion, if it can be done. It might just scenery, but it has a string for the driver seat and a projectile so idk...maybe it was something they killed before they finished or maybe thats all thats needed to make it function...Just asking if anyone knows if it can or can't be done. Any reply is appreciated.

it can be done, i've seen it done b4, i'm not quiet sure on how to make it work, but to start change the seat id's to those of the warthog, ghosts, or specters and give it a shot, as far as the sounds, try swaping the nulled out sounds for the raith morter

Where have you seen it done it before? I'll just establish that I'm not a complete beginner, I'm more like a middle-expert level modder, my knowledge weighing more towards the middle side. Anyway, I think I've tried this before, I change the driver seat to warthog_d and swapped it for a cloned chunk in Entity, but it couldn't load the sbsp. Then again I was trying to add a lot of stuff to the map, so I probably went pass the limit... I'll try changing the driver seat to wraith_d and cloning one chunk with nothing else on the map, maybe that'll do it.

Its in Wasteland, and Exhaustion.

yea wastland is the one i saw it in

I got the entire tower to spawn, the base has collision too (read somewhere that you swap the html tag of the containment gate to the scenery's html tag to give it coll). Problem is I forgot how to make the turret drivable. Its amazing that I accomplished this today and I can't remember anymore.... I think I swapped the driver seat from guntower_d to the plasma turret driver and then enabled the driver seat in Dot Halo, but I'm not sure.
