I need to know how to finish the map up, and go to the next level. Do you use a trigger volume and a script, or is there some other way? I need to know this asap!!!

calm down, tell us specifically what you need here. I don't get your point.
do you mean how to make another level link to another level once completed (like how a10 links to a30 once you complete it)? Or do you mean how to link bsps?

The way campaign maps progress from one to another is hardcoded into the engine. You could try using the map_name command, but I don't think that works.

i want it so that once you get to a certain point, the maps goes onto the next one.
a10 - a30
a30 - a50
etc.
do you know what i mean?
i was just wondering how to move it to the next level!

Hmmm, i was just looking for the script that tells the game engine that the map has finished. there has to be some sort of way for a trigger volume to set off the script that tells the engine to play the final cutscene and then end the map and go to the next one. ive got the cutscene script all down pat. But i know there has to be some way to get my map (called a10) to go the next map in the game (a30).

if your first map is called a10, and the second map is a30, then the game engine AUTOMATICALLY does the job of switching the map from a10 to a30 for you as it is the default sequence of the campaign maps and the engine doesn't really care about what is inside.
BUT, if the name of your first map is first_map and your second map is named second_map, then scripting MAY be the only way to get the engine to switch maps, since it isn't the default campaign map sequence.

psuedocode:
if final cutscene has been played
map_name "your map name"

(i may be wrong)

(game_win)

ends the level, i believe

He's trying to progress to the next level. But yes, using the game_won command would switch from a10 to a30, if your scenario replaces the original campaign's name.

Believe it or not, i just found that before i came on! (searched the halo scripting bible!) thank you for your help so far! Does anyone know how to make and use a decal? I need to know how to use blood decals, both human and covi!

also can you tell me how to make fog, like under the bridge in gephyrophobia?

you need a fog plane

could i drag a little more info out of you???

I don't know very much about them, but I know its like water: You place a plane in the BSP model and attach a special material to it and then like a sky you can set the type of fog in the scenario. Search up some tutorials, I know I've seen some.

thanks, ive searched around for some fog tutorials...
but i cant find any! oh well ill keep looking anyway!

I believe map_name only works when you're in the main menu.

map_name is in hs_doc, so who knows.

i was wondering, some of the decals that ive tried to use dont show up ingame? is there a special way you have to put them in?
