Am I just supposed to leave the tags in the folder i downloaded them in or am i supposed to put the weapon into the bipeds folder?

You're supposed to put delimiter.actor inside the characters\cyborg folder.

Oh, and what the heck are you doing? Why did you put it inside the elite folder?

thats the biped i want to add AI to but i guess dats not posible and i went ahead and fixed that error and its all good.

One more thing, how do i Change where A character spawns at the beginning of the game? like a normal character like me?

Hierarchy View > Mission > Player Starting Points. Right click in Game View to put one down.

And if you want to add Elite AI, rip them from the original campaign maps using HEK+.

oh, and that will export their actor_variant file?

It'll take the tags used in the map, and put them in your tags folder.

thats what i meant lol thanks for the help ^-^

one more thing? is it not possible to just place a warthog in beaver creek? or do i have to do some script or something for that

Sapien > Hierarchy View > Edit Types > Vehicles > Add > tags\vehicles\warthog\warthog_mp.vehicle > Add > Ok

Hierarchy View > Mission > Objects > Units > Vehicles. Right click in Game View to put down a marker. Then, in Properties View, select the vehicle type in the drop down menu.

You put a vehicle in like any other vehicle.

Edit: Gamma beat me.

lolz unlike Halo PC Halo CE editing is surprising Easy the basic stuff that took hours to do and made you go over and over again on the same thing just to get a wraith in BG can now be done in almost seconds lolz

which is why bg mods are now dead. . . .

no thr not. i just made a mod on BG. and i started actually making maps like wat 3 weeks ago?

MP maps aren't that hard to make. Scripting for them is a bit more complicated, but once you get the hang of it, you can easily make MP maps.

yea for som reason none of my scripts worked. wonder why

Did you put them in the right place, as well as add the header?

wats a header? and yea i put them in the right place

(script [SCRIPT TYPE] [SCRIPT NAME]
([BODY TEXT])
)

crap i dont no if i did that. wats the name for extra vehicle spawning?

Replace [SCRIPT NAME] with anything you want, as long as it doesn't have spaces.

i no script name im talkin about script type

Easy Halo Scripter.

Valid script types are:

-startup
-dormant
-continuous

Startup scripts execute on startup. Dormant scripts wait until the wake command is used. Continuous scripts keep executing forever.

ok yea thats wat i need thnx

your missing static, but ya. you can basicly ignore static. Static are shortcuts for things (basicly the same as globals (similar to scripts, but they are numbers or facts listed to be referanced around))

Also, dormant are also what you use in widget tags if you want a UI button to call to a script to activate it.

i just need startup

And what are you trying to do with the script? Spawn AI? Vehicles? Cutscenes?

vehicles. i think easy halo scripter is making my scripts incomplete so ima add the header
