It's driven me to near insanity. Can someone and WILL SOMEONE please modify the elite model animations to where the Elite holds the Carbine with TWO HANDS like in Halo 2 (etc.) and release it to Halo Maps? I don't want a tut. Just mod and release please. Thank you.

I would like to know how to do this also.

what about the Arbiter biped, does it work with that?

You could force the left hand to attach to the marker, but the arm kinda clips through the chest...

Not too much if that technique is done right. Polamee's elite uses that same technique and there is no clipping I believe.

On your map I think it was flood eradication the elites in bloodgulch hold the carbine with two hands perfectly

Can anyone seriously at least attempt this and release? It's for the mod I've been working on (and for all of those people who want to use them for the same effect) for a year now.

tried it and it looked like crap the arm was going throug chest.

Hmm somebody in this forum had had a way to do that.. it might have been the one with forcing the hand, I don't know.
Although yeah, that would be useful..

I did not make an Elite =\ You must mean BP's that I used, but you might not be able to get his. I suggest you use delta's Elites on the site, they can hold Carbines with 2 hands properly if I'm not wrong.

OMG. 3p anims people. Cmt has done it. and http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4751 dont those one have it?? I think the arbiter does.

OMG. Really? [/sarcasm]

The animations in Delta's elites don't include new animations for a carbine. It's essentially just PR anims, but with the extra hand attached to the end of the gun, to make it look like its two handed. He showed me a picture of how the arm clipped through the waist, and that's one of the reasons why I decided not to force elites to use two hands, and I removed the carbine elites from Firefight.

I think the elites that were in the narrows leak had 2-handed anims.

rip the anims from hypothermia.

Which one? They all say the Elite was cut for release and will be in future releases?

*inb4donut*

Donut has done this before except with the battle rifle. Has to do with markers on the weapon itself I think.

Hmmm... with the elite anims from hypothermia, the weapon spawns in his ass. :/ Still haven't figured out wtf is going on.

lol sim you know me too well.

so you want to do this?


all you have to do is modify the hand attach markers in the elite's animation tag in gurilla. it works in the same way the cyborg attaches his hands to the steering wheel of a warthog, or the handles on a ghost. this can get a little tricky, so pay attention to my video im posting here. also please excuse the nasaley voice. my nose is stuffed to high heaven and i was kind of gasping for air during the entire recording.

i have included the download link for the 2 handed weapon animations. as i said in the video, i really wish you would go in and at least take a look at whats going on so YOU know how to do it in the future. also youll probably have to go in anyway because this particular set only has labels set for the assault rifle

its still processing. once its done, it should be in HD quality.

Excellent tutorial.

By the way, Donut, that map was fun. What happened to it?

Once again Donut has saved the day.

i couldnt make the elite ai cooperate, then i spent a week on and off trying to fix all of the UVWs on it, and then i realized i had about a 100 and a half nonplanars in the meadow area that i didnt know how to fix. at the time i lacked the skill to do much about it, and now i spend most of my free time modeling weapons for a game i might make at some point
E: actually now that i think about it im pretty sure i still have the map file, the scripts, and the max file. its unprotected too. if anyone wants it ill give it to you

KEWL imma blasting grunts with a shotgun weildin elite!
i made the gun label to ar ;)
thnx mistur

Or duplicate the ar weapon label in the elite model animations, and rename the duplicate to sg...

you may consider adding the sg label to the elite's animation tag. by changing the weapon label itself, you are changing how every other actor holds it too.
