I'm working (an nearly done) on an animation for the MC where he gets out of the P-riderLF seat and walks over to the turret (S-pelican). Animation will play, but the movement isn't. Animation type: JMA.


Because the Halo 1 engine doesn't combine objects' inertias (units aren't allow to walk inside other moving units (think of the Halo 3 scarab), the only way I think I can do this cutscene is by having an animation play while the MC is in a seat, then the script removes him from the pelican rider seat and places him in the gunner seat instantaneously. Hopefully this can be done?

You could show the pelican flying, then cut to a shot of just the inside, and while looking at only the inside, you can use (vehicle_hover [vehicle name] true) to stop the pelican while MC is playing the animation.

That's what I was thinking. However, this morning I tried the one animation I thought would obviously not work (due to a misconception of the animation type).
I converted it to a JMM.

Now he can walk around the pelican without exiting his seat.

Thanks for the help, though.
