hi like i'm making an map wich combines Valhalla and timberland.

and for that map i need something for an mancanon for each of the base

Like i asked is kenny001 could help me but his grav lift thingy could only work with an tube

So i was wondering if anybody could help me with makign an mancanon for ce or that soem1 could tell me if it is even possible in halo ce

Maybe a line of invisible teleporters leading from base to the middle? It is a terrible I dea but your welcome to try to do it.

na i jsut found out that it cant work or i'll will have na laggy map if i would use an grav lift (if it would work in the first place)

OMGZITHOUGHTSOFTHATSAMETHING!
Why not just make the tube at an angle?

OMG that would be awesome actually. It would just take alot of planing and trial and error. You would need to set telepoints to account for the MC biped falling and make it so when it spawns from one telepoint to the other the MC then falls into the next telepoint. But yes still it would not be an effective means.

People have made grav lifts but i believe they don't sync correctly.

yeah they dont masterz already told me that XD maybe i'll try to do that thingy with the teleporters

I thought of that too...but you'd have to get rid of the flash when you go in and come out and the sound so it doesn't keep sounding like a lot of teleporters.

lol that istn the hard aprt about 10 min of work at most

You could just remove those sounds i don't see it being much a problem.

The thing would be just all the trial and error. Cause you got to put the points to account for forward movement and fall for the MC. The last and first point you could make a marker for but all the ones in the middle would have to not have markers. Might be alot of work but if you pull it off it might look decent.

You got to count in milisecs to get it right..:P

GGL is getting his bag of M&M's to count so he can coutn the miliseconds
(or jsut half way gets mad because it doenst work and eats all the M&M's

Nah i would not say that. You could even make a small wall of tele points so you are for sure to hit one. You will have to count and guess alot but miliseconds, nah it would not take that. But gamegod you will want to do alot of planning and maybe use a notepad to keep track of all the telepoints you may be making.

maybe make a little not so strong grav lift maybe then it will sync then??

I highly doubt it would

Ask me, I am the god of tagging. The teleporting idea would be stupid, it would look like your lagaporting through the air. I have a simple plan devised, and I'd be glad to work with you, ggl. xfire: napalm2771

If you used a teleporter you wil instantly go to the last tele.

...Uh, no you wouldn't. Halo 1's HEK doesn't use two-way tele's like H3's Forge. You just make the sources go one direction the whole time, and split them only so much, and it'd replicate the effect sort of.. it just wouldn't be -as- good... probably closest CE could ever support though.

Nevermind.

No count in nano seconds and it will work.

You could use a scenery with a damage effect attached, based on the fire scenery or something's gbx model (1 face and a marker or 3)
Set the damage effect's "instantanious acceleration" to be strong enough, and area of effect to be the right size, and maybe change falling distance/time/velocity stuff - globals, i think

wont sync
might go hard somethimes
might go too slow sometimes
i have a idea to make this work without scripts
but it would have to be on a map with no flying vehicles
im going to test this out today

I have a good idea too..

yhea smart ass
except that the gravity lifts are SCENRY NOT devices
next time get your facts right before posting anything
now good day

i think in those maps they used explosions to blow you up and stuff.

yeha but maybe if you put it udner an diferent agle it mgith work?/
but then again look at vanhalla variant map it is very laggy adn the mancanon doesnt work that good i rather use an tele to get itneh middle of the map then that mancanon

(sorry for the typo's haventslept in 5 days)

Well has anyone started to work on the model? its the least you can do,...

The Homo Sapien Propulsifier LOL

Drugs are bad, um'kay?


you will carry falling inertia from one teleport to the next. At the end of the tele path, if the player manages to hit each tele, he will hit the ground hard

yeah and it would work as good as it should it might look ugly admn dont work properly so it gues we all ahve to do with teleporters XD

i think theres some way to do like when you enter a trigger volume (the mancannon) some script with a vehicle thing creates or something then causes some explosion with no damage effect that sends you flying through the air. I'm no scripter but thats the only way i could think to do it.

Guys, I think he's onto something. No seriously, this makes sense. You can create projectiles, explosions, damage tags, and all that... And modify the amount of damage they do. That's how you create weapons and grenades and all that, that actually hurt people. So really, all you need to do is create a respawning explosive (respawns every 5 seconds or so) in a set location, with no or very little damage, that reacts off the trigger volume. Set the trigger volume really small though so that it doesn't go off until you're in the right area. Then just create some sort of barrier that directs him toward a set location rather than off in some random area every time.


Damn, Corndog, your theory just might be the cure to make Gravlifts work in HCE. If we (as in, all the users at the forums who try to do this) get this done, then hell, I'm sure there are ways to do many other things in CE.

... Then again, Kirby's making Forge for CE. What the f--- can we NOT do in CE? Besides sync AI, and I'm sure that's possible somehow too, if we get a genius to figure it out... Maybe a Bungie representative, or something. xD

well its not really my theory. i remember kirby saying something about using trigger volumes in another thread like this. and i just applied my basic knowledge of scripting to it. youll have to wait till the scripting gods get here though.

as for the syncing AI thing. no, unless you hack the engine and edit the netcode to allow it, its not possible. a Bungie guy could do that though. but its illegal for us to do that. although i do have a theory about making it work...

You can not do it with teleporters. If you used teleporters you will just fall to the next one and if its too far away you won't be going ina straight path so how would you sniper. And if they are close to eachother you would go to one end of the chain of teles tot he toher in a split second. It is impossible to achieve this with teleporters. So stop saying it might work.

And for the grenade thing wouldnt it go off and explode on somone behing the mancannon?

lol i'm coming with you no your not (usign the mancannon) whee !! the man behind him was flying to the other side of the map XD ( not he same direction as the1 using the mancannon

and with teles, what if sommeone went right before you, then he blocks the tele hes at

That would be impossible.
