How do i add ai to a map? (*hint*working on a large scale war scenario*hint* *hint*) *cough* full scale working Racoon City *cough* *cough*

Not so good a Idea to make AI in a map, they do not sync. but, if you make it a Single player map, just go to the encounters section of the scenario. That deals with AI.

its gonna be a multiplayer level because if i make it a single player level there is no way in
l-l3LL anyone will be able to beat it besides, who is honestly going to sit through hours and hours of killing ai that are smarter faster and have alot better aim than you only to realize that all you had to do was lock down a lab(or 10)?

i just need to know how

Well then if you make it multiplayer, its going to be the same as a singleplayer map, considering AI does not synchronize between computers. What that means is that I can see an AI on top of a building and you can see the same AI on the ground in front of you, and then you die, and I cant see it there, nor can you see it on the building. Its a load of shooting air...

also if you look at someone else playing with you it will look like they are shooting nothing. There is no way to get AI to sync in Halo CE. You should scrap your project or plan it on a smaller scale so just one person can play it. Also don't forget you can make AI follow you and be on your side as well. So you could in a way simulate multiplayer experience doing that.

fine...any ideas? truthfully im not that good at mapmaking nor am i good at building design. basically i suck at moddifying CE (the program is too complex and annoying and the tutorials are no help) i can come up with ideas and suggestions but nothing more than that.

the tutorials are no help? LOL thats the dumbest excuse i have ever heard. They do help so you can't convice people they don't. you must have a problem putting one and two together.

complex and annoying, sure i can buy that but not the no help thing.

practice and get better.

try working with guerilla and tag editing, it's not as complex as mapping i think anyhow. i like tag editing but i don't like modeling or mapping. you might like it as well.

trial and error is the best way to learn

Guerilla isn't complicated for the most part, but it sure is long... I've been working for a day to change some skins and projectile colors.... And have only fully changed one or 2 things...

i tried it and mix and matched random tags and crap(i worked on a new biped) how would i find out what it looks like? (warning- i checked every box that i could so i dont know what the result is)

and if your not a mapper try to get respect another way. you could perhaps get respect from just modding though thats rare as you always got to make tastful mods. most mods are anything but tasteful.

how would i go about viewing a biped?( i wanna see what my random clicking did)

you have to compile your map to view your changes in game. basically build the cache file

but set your biped in your globals so tool knows that when you compile your map to make the player your biped.

download custom ai part one and two that really helped me out.
