Can someone give me a script like e.g. i walk past a corner into a hallway and it triggers and spawns AI? i need it for my SP Map. Thanks.

I need a script.

Ok, here's how:

First make an AI encounter, and name it e.g corner_ai
Also make a trigger volume, call it trigger_corner or something

then type this script:

(script continuous "name script"
(begin
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects trigger_corner (players)) 0)
(ai_place corner_ai


That's it ;)

Also in the first line, leave out the "" and make name script the name you want your script to be, e.g corner_ai_start_trigger

Thought I'd fix that for you.

For one you dont need the begin thing. Secondly you didn't close the paranthesis.

I'm not trying to act arrogant or anything. I thought I'd just fix this stuff up for this guy, so he understands scripts a bit more.

Ah yes! thnx! :) The begin thing I know, but it's stupid I forgot the

You made this a continuous script, which isn't exactly the best to use for this scenario. What you should do, is this:

(script startup ai_spawn
          (sleep_until (volume_test_objects [TRIGGER VOLUME] (players)) 15)
          (ai_place [AI ENCOUNTER NAME])
)

You have to fill in the blanks. To put down a trigger volume, in Sapien, Hierarchy View > Game Data > Trigger Volumes. Right click in Game view to put one down, and then stretch it until you see it fit. Name that trigger volume, and replace [TRIGGER VOLUME] with the name of your trigger volume. As for [AI ENCOUNTER NAME], it's pretty straightforward. Every AI encounter has a name, even if it's the default one that I can't remember. For simplicities' sake, rename it to something that you can preferably remember and type out. Replace [AI ENCOUNTER] with that.

what gamma said ^^
:P

But gamma, wouldn't it just only check it on the startup, and not continuous?

The script executes on startup, and it waits for the player to enter the trigger volume. Note the (sleep_until command. That does what the name implies: sleep until you enter the trigger volume.

Oh ok, I taught it would only check it for the startup, then leav it as is, btw you want to join the Halo CE: Hell Jumpers team or not? Let me know ^_^ :P

Haven't been convinced yet :P

Can i like add to it another ai_place? I need to place Allies and Encounter1

Yea. If you wanted to add another, using those two encounters, it would look like this:

(script startup ai_spawn
          (sleep_until (volume_test_objects [TRIGGER VOLUME] (players)) 15)
          (ai_place allies)
          (ai_place encounter1)
)

K ty im new to scripting,im gonna compile scripts then test it in Halo. Edit:Didnt work. Do you remove the [] on the sides of the trigger volume? <>
Edit(Again): Nvm. I want to know why most of my tags dont even work! Theres not even any red text in guerilla!

Had this one too ;)

Well you are missing the SP tags,
You need to extract them from various levels of Halo,

So get over to Halomaps, and download a level where flood is in (if you use flood)
(I prefer 343 guilty spark (c10) + The first level, (a10)

Extract ALL The tags to a new tags folder, all of them..
Then copy that tags folder over your own, when it asks to overwrite press: yes,
You will not lose your own files, only files will be added!

Good luck and have fun making your map ^_^

K testing...i sure hope this works! i had c10 regular sooo... yeah! Iv been wanting to place like grunts,all i could place was spartans and infection forms. Edit: IT WORKED OMG! OMG OMG TY TY TY THANKS SO MUCH!
