Test it out in sapien. Best way is to put a trigger volume over where you want it to land, wait for the vehicle to enter, vehicle_hover, and vehicle_unload.

i dont really understand, i placed a trigger volume but i dont get any of the rest

1) Put a trigger volume
2) Sleep_until vehicle is in the trigger volume
3) vehicle_hover [VEHICLE]
4) vehicle_unload [VEHICLE] [SEATS]
5) Make the vehicle fly away.

will this work if the vehicle moves by command lists?

i beat the last wave without the banshee :)

Yeah same here I tried with the banshee and there were just too many of them and I got shot down.

man, put more nades, with 2 frag isnīt fun, enough maybe, but not fun, and make a little smaller the electric spark in plasma nades

I liked it, however it was way too easy to spawn camp the spawning enemies. For example I killed practically 4 waves using plasma grenades from the corpses of the last wave.

I got to Wave 8 with the Banshee and the Ranger Elites, it was insanely hard and with only two Ranger Elites left I died.

update: i removed the collision model from the rotating thing and it worked out good, so now ai that walk on it will not get pushed through the map and your bullets will not hit thin air. i also found good replacement jackals and i made a sniper jackal with a beam rifle, but there is a problem, when the beam rifle overheats, it makes the jackal spew out tons of blood. i dont want to remove the overheat because the snipers are really tough and without it, they will rip you apart. if anyone knows how i can have the overheat without the blood everywhere, i would really appreciate it if they tell me.

Switch out the overheat effect with the plasma rifle's, or something similar.

really now? I agree with Gamma.....and all I can said is WHAT THE FU....*BOOM* to the message it gives

that problem is fixed now, it says "picked up % plasma gernades"

uh.....ok....
I'LL BE IN THE FOOD COURT!

Um...what?

you haven't heard that sayin'? omg!

I so laughed at that.

Anyway, I'm downloading the map now, so I'll be back with my brutally honest review after I finish it.

ok, ill prepare for your review by playing some halo

Right then.

I liked the SMG, but I ran out of ammo for it very quickly. Add some more ammo or something.

The Carbine was somewhat useful, but what was up with the sounds?

I really didn't understand the point of having two different plasma rifles.

The AI seemed a bit.....well, dumb. They just stood there. Only once or twice did I have an Elite or two come charging at me.

That rotating thing in the middle was extremely annoying. It was constantly in the way, and grenades stuck to it, so I wasted several grenades trying to bounce them off of it to hit enemies. I would just remove it, or make it a part of the bsp.

Because the AI never really moved much, the waves didn't really seem like they were any more difficult than the one before it, until I got to wave 10, at which point I was killed within 10 seconds by the over 9000 plasma-whoring ranger Elites.

Overall, it was ok, even though I really hated the "no dev" thing. Considering it was a beta, I'll give it a 7, and hope that it will be much improved at the time of the final release.

thanks, here is some fixes i made



that should cover everything, im off to bed. tomorrow is the last day of summer vacation for me

k

I don't like how the weapons spawn in the same place. Mix it up a little. put the weapons in different places throughout the map, so people will have to move and rethink their strategy.

You should make multiple spawning areas and maybe add jackal snipers.

adding sniper jackals, what do you mean by multiple spawning areas?

He means the AI spawn in different places around the map, not just in the centre and the little overhang near it. Like the other towers and walkways.

Ok, replayed it, and a weird sound file played and I died and got an exception.

?

i mentioned this to shadow before, though i have a better idea now.
when you spawn, to your left, theres that walkway? yeah. you should have a group of grunts come charging down it at you. you should place sniper jackals on the towers, out of the cover so you can actually hit them. this would make you take cover while you think how you'd kill them (assuming that they're actually good) you should also put say, the 3rd weapon spawn somewhere else. this would mean that the player has more incentive to move around and not just spawn camp. you should also not place the ammo right next to the weapons, spread it out a bit so they move around even more. and maybe place a nav-point at the weapon spawn so you actually know where it is?

those are just some points i thought up.
:D

i can give you a spawning script that makes the player spawn in random areas like a multiplayer map. If you want it ill send it via xfire ("masterdandan")
but not tonight... Im gonna have to get off my laptop soon D:
but when i can ill give it to you...

this is a single player map, what you want to do is possible in single player right?

He's giving you a script for a SP map, that SIMULATES a MP map.

thats cool, which also gives me a good idea: since the firefight is only going to get harder, i was wondering if it was possible for multiple lives, like if you die once, it respawns you in a different place using the script he is going to give me

The script he was going to give you doesn't cover respawns.

I have a brilliant idea.

This map is certainly open enough. Instead of just having AI appear like magic in the center of the map, put a Covenant ship in the sky and have them come down a grav lift.

I support this idea. They did it in a50. Just examine their scripts, and see how they did it.

:D

i have the awsome covenant capital ship tags, time to examine scripts :), oh and karrde, did you like the build i gave you?
