Covenant Dropships and Energy Swords

latot · Post by **latot** » Sun Apr 18, 2004 10:03 am

I was wondering what would be a good seat for the dropship to enable MC to fly it. And what would be good for the side seats?

I swapped the AR with the energy sword but I can't use it and yes I gace mc the ability (with the plugin) but it shows up nothing and the reticle for ammo isnt there either.

Thanks.

W-Driver, invisible, 3rd person, swap defualt unit track for airplane_large_loose.

Perfect ride.

As for the energy sword, swap it's model with the FP model of the AR also.

Use the scorpion seats. For the first 3 left ones, use ScorpionLF, for for the back left, use ScorpionLB. For the firsr 3 right ones, use ScorpionRF, and for the last one, use ScorpionRB. As for the gunner seat, I haven't figured that one out yet, as the gun isn't controllable from what I've seen and done so far.

the main gun is actually a biped with an actor varient. it automatically shoots at people. and i have tried the energy sword thing. it doesnt look quit right when you swap its model for something else, because the gun with the model that you replace does not have a "glow" tag dependancy. and even swapping out the fp model does nothing. the plasma sword never came with a hud, thats why u dont see any ammo meter. and it has no player melee control. you cannot use it to attack. also you cannot pick up the plasma sword because it explodes when left on the ground. also, another weird thing is that when you are holding the p sword, and you enter a ghost, your sword goes away. at least if your playing as an elite. and then, you cant move when u get out because you have no weapon.

woah!

But the elite attacks with the sword (melee) so mc should be able to

Nah. It's a lot different. If you go into SP and get a p sword, you start auto chopping people.

OK the way the Elite melle's with the energy sword is this: Every Biped has a Biped melle(IE: Cyborg melle, Elite Melle.) And the sword is swung by the Biped melle. And seeing there is no animation and button for this melle in the cyborgs biped. You cannot swing the sword.

you cannot chop with it on command, but it has something in it that makes it part of the elite energy sword actor varient so it's trigger to melee is not the same as the cyborg where you press a button, instead it is triggered when a human or flood comes close to it. although whats weird is, the bipeds such as the hunter and elite both have jpt! dependancies that point to the elite melee and hunter melee. the master cheif has this location of meta marked off for a jpt! dependancy, but there is none. someone should play mp with elites in game, and watch someone else do a regular melee attack with their gun. if what i am thinking is correct, then the player will not do an attack like the elite normally does in sp, where he sort of jusps at you. these melee attacks are somehow automatic. if only there was some way to make these attacks controlled by the player.

You can control the plasma hit.
Get a Plasma Sword. Dunno, just mod it so you start with it.
Then just melee at an enemy.
It will work.
Or change the user for the Plasma Rifle.

i tried that. i dont remember it working, but there is no hud so i dunno. is there some way we can get a hud on this thing?

maegus15 · Post by **maegus15** » Mon Apr 19, 2004 10:46 am

Inject the META of a HUD into it.

If you play as an Elite, kill a Gold Elite with a sword and pick it up fast enough you can pick it up.

Although you have about 1/10 second before it self-destructs...

And I can't kill anyone with it. I walk up to an enemy. Nothing happens. I hit left mouse. Nothing happens. I haven't hit F yet (that would have been a good place to start

) but I will soon. As for the dropship, seat 1 is the best driver, 0 is very hard to get to.

0 isn't hard to get to at all... you have to jump, and thats all...

D'OH!
If it's melee, use F...
I know it was useable, I did it, without fp MODEL...
