Well, I cant help too much on other aspects of modding except AI, So come here instead of making questions about AI. No need to sticky or none of that, if the topic doesnt work the topic will just die. Anyone else who is good with AI feel free to jump and help out.

He doesn't need help. He made the topic so people that need help with AI can come here and ask him.

i got one that i need help with.im working on a flood mod and i cant get the flood to spawn because i always get a black screen. i know the tut works cause i use it to make many other mods with elites grunts jackles hunter mariens, so ya every other character works except flood. i cant even get the flood creatures to work.

theres the tut is there something else i have to do for flood. and i have also tryed to hit recrusive parsed and save then build and still nothing.

Ok, Let me know what bipd it is, and if you are transferring the chars.

i trnasfered the char tag first then i went to transfer the bipd bit it was already there i tryed it in the correct order same thing but it dident do that befor. and i am useing the floodcombate elite. but none of the flood work period. so im guessing eather the way i transfer them(the order) or something special has to be done for flood.

Trulife, why don't you make a little more detailed AI in MP tutorial?

Flood do get tricky, but I dont see why it would give you a black screen, do me a favor and check if its the char or the bipd giving you the problem, simply transfer a marine char, and swap its bipd dependancy from the marine or masterchief (default bipd) with your flood, Maybe its just the char is faulty with the level.

And zone, The one out there is more than detailed.

ok i got the flood elite in and they spawn atack i can kill them it doesent freeze but when ever i try to kill them with a sorwd it freezes. i can kill them with an smg fine but its the sowrd. it has to be the bipd because i placed just the bipd shoot it with an smg dies. it respawns cause i swaped it for the rocket luancher. it still freezes with the sword. i nulled all the uldg sounds i even nulled all the snd's in the jmad. so im guessing i am missing an effet or there is a sound or uldg.

EDIT: shotgun works plasma rifle works needler does not.
EDIT 2: i put regular elites in and swaped the bipd for the flood elite still freezes with sword.

Meh i have to say that i really suck with AI, i never got a map loading after adding the reflexives and tags + setinng up ai spawns, always a black screen.

However i would like to know if i do an sbsp conversion SP-MP if the Ai will have the pathfinding stuff to know where they are in the sbsp, where are the walls etc

Hey how do i make my ai's hunt for the players??

Yeah, I'd love to make a cat and mouse mod. Possible to make an ai characteristic to always pursue the enemy? Like no bothering to hide behind cover, just pure hatred for you (or the person that shot it last). Similar to the flood in a way I guess.

I'd wanna make an almost unstoppable behemoth which goes for the last person that shoots him or something. Would end up being incredibly fun with 4+ players where you have to work together to distract it and kill it.

If too hard to explain...Make the basics for me and I'll finish the rest
You're an oldie like me, you gotta join the club of before halo 3 mods

I'd love to.

I think he was talking to Trulife.

I'm dumbass.

i dont understand why it would only freeze with sertain weapons. it seems like anything that phisicly makes the bipd rip apart is causeing it to freeze ex explosions the sword. it cant be the sounds because i have nulled every sound in every tag linked to the flood elite. it has to be an effect.
o dont understand ive seen flood mods that are perfect.

and to make the AI chase after you would have to do a jmad swap. but all it does is say play this animation forever. so you could make the AI run foward but they would keep going foward untile the hit a wall then just keep running. they would only chase you if they saw you. but im pretty sure AI zones have been perfected but not release.

When you hit the flood with a vehicle in mp it freezes.

when i kill them with the sword, needler or anything that makes them explode it freezes. wich usaly means you have null the uldg sounds or your missing an effect. now i nulled ever sound in every tag that is linked to the flood elite so i have to bemissing an effect or something. I DONT GET IT!!!

there are AI premunitions(spell check) for that stuff like beserking but it might require AI zones and all that because i have messed around with that but i never got anything out of it.

well everything works fine untile i hit them with the sword. and i killed one with the smg it dies then i picked up the sword and hit the dead body and it froze so im guessing there is something else i have to null can some one help?

EDIT: i nulled out all the weapons that make the game freeze but while testing fog i shot the lower torso and it froze. hmmmm now it has to be in the lower torso.
