As the question says anyone know how to say for example, get a grunt to use a shade in single player?

Also how do I get marines to be on my side in single player?

Thanks.

AI-> Command Lists
Click new instance
expand the "command list" list
click your new command list
rename it if you want
then expand your command list
go to commands
new instance
it should say "0: pause 0.0"
change that in the properties pallette to "vehicle"
set the modifier to "any seat"
set the vehicle distance to something like 15
then go to points
set a point by your vehicle

then in the starting point for the grunt you want to enter, find command list, and reference the one you just made.
Save, compile, test.

EDIT:
for marines to be on your side, set the team in their encounter to "default by unit" I think

Bah. Command lists.

1) In your script, type:

(vehicle_load_magic [TURRET NAME] "" (ai_actors [AI ENCOUNTER NAME]))

2) In your script, type:

(ai_allegiance player human)

Put the marines on the team "human".

or if you actually want to see them go to it,use the ai_go_to_vehicle script.

@ Gamma927

Wouldn't setting ai alliegence to human make all the ai go onto ur side?

No. It makes the human team allied with you. Also, if you kill them, or betray them, then the allegiance will be broken, and they will turn on you. That's how Bungie did it in the original campaign.

Could you give me the full script because i'm having trouble writing it.

Gets an error when compiling in Sapien which says:

the value of the expression (in a slot) can never be used .: player human ))

Copy your entire script, and paste it here. If your script was the exact same as the one above, then it should compile.

Never mind its all working now thanks.

will this script work on any vehicle, and if it has more than one seats, will the ai appear in driver?

Yes, it works on all vehicles. The "" makes it garrison all seats. So in a warthog, if you have three people, it would garrison the vehicle using the entire encounter. If you only have two, it'll garrison the driver, and passenger. The driver usually always comes first.

thats great, scripting can do almost anything but will it spawn a new vehicle or make the ai enter an existing one, also what do i have to do to make it so more than 1 ai enter the vehicle, and do i have to go into the vehicle and change it so ai driver is enabled?

The script refers to an existing vehicle. It also tells an AI encounter to enter a vehicle (you can shorten this down to a squad if you wish). Since you can have more than 1 AI inside an encounter, you can have multiple AI enter the vehicle. They'll enter as long as they have animations for entering. And you only need to enable AI driver, if you want them to drive around.

one problem, it says expecting "script" or "global" when i compile scripts

Did you add a header? Like
(script startup scriptname? Every script requires a header.

no, what is the scripts name

Anything you want it to be. The only restrictions, are that it has to be one word, and you cannot have two scripts named the same thing.

ok, now this:

i called my vehicle "hog" and my ai encounter "marines"

[scripts line 1] the value of this expression (in a slot) can never be used.: hog "" (ai_actors marines))

recompiling scripts after scenarios were merged.
the value of this expression (in a slot) can never be used.: hog "" (ai_actors marines))

this is my script:

(script startup vehicle_load_magic hog "" (ai_actors marines))

(ai_allegiance player human)

Yeah you should always format your code. Its easier to read, and cuts down on small errors like that A LOT.

now we got another problem, instead of entering, my marines stand there with their arms extended, i guess that means there is no enter animation. where would i find one

They won't do that unless they're entering. Press ~ again to turn off the console, so the game resumes.

Well it depends on what vehicle they're entering, like marine's cant enter Banshees cause they don't have the animation for it. It's the same reason why the MC can't enter the wraith unless you change the seat label.

Is there a way to get marines to follow you?
