Now i have most of the ingredients to an epic sp map can somone help me wiht waypoints? The final ingredient to suceed....i think help

In sapien, go to Game Data -> Flags (not netgame flags)
place a flag where you want the waypoint to be.
Name it waypoint_flag
Then place a trigger volume.
This trigger volume will show the waypoint when the player walks through it.
Name it activate
Place another trigger volume in the rough location of the flag.
Name it "deactivate"

(sleep_until (volume_test_objects activate (players)) 15)
(activate_team_nav_point_flag default "player" waypoint_flag 0.6)
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects deactivate (players)) 15)
(deactivate_team_nav_point_flag "player" waypoint_flag)

This script will sleep until the player enters the activation trigger, then it displays the waypoint, then sleeps until the player enters the deactivation trigger, then deactivates the waypoint.
Obviously you can change the names if you want.

u should make a tutorial on sp maps if u havent already lol

Yeah put it on youtube so people won't ask so much. If your gonna do it :P

somthing jsut came up to me when i was testing out the waypoints:
how do we make ais spawn only once and not respawn at all cuz i set all the numbers in the ai count 5 and yet they still respawn and how do we delay there respawn tiem the options in sapien dont seem to be working

to make the ai spawn only once, open you level in sapien and look for the encounter you want to only spawn once. There should be a checkbox for "respawn enabled", so make sure that checkbox is not checked.
As for making the ai spawn at a specific time, however, that would require some scripting.

well i do hit the respawn enabled yet still 8 or 9 of them spawn instead of 5 and would u mind telling me the script :D

You DON'T check respawn enabled. Then, make sure all respawn values are set to 0. Set the number of AI you want with the difficulties.

i should read it mreo carefully :D

whats the script to delay the spawning? and can you guys explain to me recorded animations like pelicans driving to drop off allies

is it possible to delay an ai encounter block?

I don't really see the purpose of doing what final444h posted above. Just set the encounter to "Not initially created". To create the encounter, use

(ai_place [AI ENCOUNTER])

Also, 200 is 6 1/3 seconds, since 30 units is one second.

Furthermore, I thought you could just use ai_place instead of those last two lines.

Well actually I said that because we're talking more about AI than bipeds, and AI is more commonly used, since nobody wants an enemy who just stands there. I'm pretty sure 30 units is 1 second, though.

ok just gimme the darn script to delay the ais instead of arguing

Read the context he asked for. We were discussing AI encounters earlier. It's logical to think that he still wants this to work for an AI encounter.

@ OP: Do what I aid here.

may i has teh ai delay script -.-

:|

That IS the script.

Set the encounter to not initially created, with respawn enabled off. Then, they won't be there. Then, use the command I posted above in order to place them.

that spawns the ai i think we all know that
do u thnk this will work

(script startup sp4
(begin
(sleep 200)
(ai_place [encounter])
)
)


im thinking this will work becuase sleep ussually delays crap for me

(begin (stuff) )

is only necessary for if statements so you can have more than one (then) statements.

so if u have only 1 statement dont use (begin?

You simply don't need it if you have no if statement.

(script startup sp4

(sleep 200)
(ai_place [encounter])

)

Will work just fine. Whether or not I have only 1 statement in and if I use it so that if I do need it I won't have to add it later.

anyone know how to make it where you can play as 2 different bipeds like a cqb and when you die you can either be cqb or eva?

Not without the fp arms.

The fp arms in halo 3 don't change :|

how do we do it though? for haloce

Permutations in the gbxmodel for the biped.

how do we make ais throw nades is it the part in the actor varient at the very bottom? if it is then help me because ais dont wanna listen to me and toss their nades D:

The throwing speed must be greater than 1. It's initially set to some decimal. Change it to 10 or 12.

7 should be enough.

great i got owned by my own ais. New problem in the gear box model premunitions thing i couldnt add the crap what the crap?
