Seriously. Someone should do it. It would be really cool to see. Especially if someone made more than just one type of terminator. Ex. Terminator Salvations bikes, dropships from Terminator Salvation. Maybe even that gigantic terminator as well.

Well i assumed that this would be difficult, but i have seen some pretty cool stuff come out of this community. It was just a thought.

It's a very good idea, although I don't think anyone would try.

Would an M6D and a plasma Pistol be an effective combo against a Terminator? I think so!

It would be lulz!

Plasma pistol = disable Terminator (if that bolt, which is friggin' slow, hits it in the first place)
M6D = finish the job (.50 cal semi armor-piercing rounds work well against most machines)
lol
[/offtopic]

so, any one gonna do this? My scripting is crap, so if anything, ask me to do the populating instead (if i have the time, that is).

M6D pistols don't fire .50 caliber armor-piercing rounds. They fire 12.7 x 40 mm rounds.

oops, my bad.
but the rounds are semi-AP, so they still work well anyway.

If you're gonna get started on a firefight map, this is the only script you'll need. Unless you're going to do something else. Like putting in music.

Start the script.

(script startup 

Then for the waves, you put it in right after that line, then after the script for the previous wave. No need to restart the script. Unless you want to.

(sleep x)
(ai_place encounter)

(sleep) pauses the script until it "times out". x=(no. of seconds the script will pause)(30)
Hope you understand math.

Naw man that's pro scripting.

that's also, essentially, all there is to firefight.

(sleep 30)

Is actually only half a second of Game Time. 60 Ticks is 1 second. Y'all can do the math. I suggest you do it via variables, however, so it'd be something like:

(sleep (seconds * 60))

Oh yeah.

(sleep_until (= (ai_living_count encounter) 0) 15)

after the script for each wave. That way, the script will pause until every ai in the encounter is dead. I don't really use ai_magically_see_player, hell, i don't even know it exists. Anyways, that's everything you need.

there is no such thing as a semi armor piercing round, and protip: 12.7mm = 50 caliber action express

Yeah, but you don't really need it to make a basic firefight map. You can just make one command list if the waves all spawn in the same place, and in Sapien, give them that command list.

The Halo manual disagrees with you.

My firefight uses no command lists at all. I find command lists to be distasteful, and they ruin any bit of intelligence the AI could have had. Instead, i use firing positions, and "ai_magically_see_player" for them to go attack the player. That way, they move towards the player on their own, and not because they're being pulled towards it by invisible puppet strings.

I made the script as basic as i could.

You're saying that "ai_magically_see_players" is not a basic command?

Oh god D: Another Firefight. I've even had enough of Gamma's, how will i ever deal with this >.>

By playing the new form of maps that I'll be doing which everyone will be copying as soon as I release a video.

I thought you got tired of people copying you. It will happen once "The video" is out.

ftfy.

Every script command is pretty much basic. Just so nobody else flames me, i'll say "shorter and simpler".

Must i always say it's just a simple script?

Yes. You seemed to have a problem with my script. As long as you can prove/defend yourself, do it, and i did. My script was made to make the most basic firefight map - in fact, you can even make a good firefight map with just that script.

Plus, how can you say it isn't good enough? This is the art of scripting, or generally mapping. In art, you make whatever inspires you until you've lost that inspiration or finished doing it. There is no criteria for judging in art - what is ugly or bad to one is good and beautiful to another.

You don't get the point of it. It was to make a basic firefight map, but you had to butt in and put in unnecessary stuff, saying that my script wasn't good enough.

tool disagrees.

Scripts aren't an art. Scripts are merely a smaller form of programming. Unless you're one of those programmers who write their code in ASCII art, it's hardly artistic. Programming is based upon making your code as efficient as possible.

And @ L0d3x, I never said anything about it being Firefight :P

I did say mapping is an art. I gotta go blame my teacher for mentioning "It's the art of erasing the blackboard".

AMEN!

Hmm! I wonder how most of these were done?
