No, I think I can do it. Have red team spawn in an area hidden away, and blue team in another.
Then, put a trigger volume over the red team spawn.
Same with the blue. Detect whether a player is in the red team spawn or blue.
If for example, player 0 is inside red team, set the boolean like plyr0red to true.
Do that for all people. By the time that's done, you should be able to determine what player spawned where. Then, the easy part. Change permutations.
If the player's red, swap perm to whatever you want, same for blue.
Then, once that's done, generate a random number, and teleport the player
to the corresponding area on the battlefield.
I'm sorry if this is kinda confusing, but I'm in a rush, so I can't explain it perfectly right now.

I'd do the script if I had the following things

a) A biped with an elite permutation and a spartan permutation, which itself is hard to make.
b) Two rooms hidden away from everyone else.

this doesnt work. you cannot put scenery outside of the level. Also, you couldnt really do it effectively for spartans and elites because you cannot have different FP arms for each team.

That wouldn't effect how people see the enemy\friendly team though.

If you looked at a,say elite,would you see their FP? No,because thats THEIR FP.If you looked at a temate,same thing.

It wouldn't work Gamma. A biped can only have one animation graph, and seeing as elites and cyborgs use different...
Would work with things like heretic elites on this side and normal elites on the other.

Which is precisely why I haven't done it yet. I can do it with CQB and EVA armor permutations for a spartan, but there are limitations for certain characters, the elite - spartan being the main ones.

It actually isn't a challenge. It's just a rather tedious task to do, the script, at least. I don't know about the other parts. Adding a new part into the BSP shouldn't be that hard, but making a biped with different permutations may be a little more challenging.

Script is quite simple, only real issue is first of all, deciding how you'll set your biped up (weather your acualy gonna have 2 bone structures set into each biped so they are still seperate apearing, or your gonna rig both your bipeds to one bone set (well, that happens either way, but the first mention I had was unused bones in each permutation) etc)


http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm%3Fpage=topic&topicID=27470
for the scripting, basicly do the same as I did in the weapon randomizer there, but instead of a random weapon, set your permutation for that team (or, multiple per-team like if you have 4 versions of elite and 4 spartans or something if you do want random team oriented permutations) and you can keep the weapon part in if you want to have each team with spesific weapons aswell
