If you place them in ridiculous places then your AI will likely stand in odd places. Just make sure to have enough firing position so that all of your AI can stand in the scene else they either won't shoot or will go back to earlier, useless firing positions.

Using the commandlists and disable the Ai driving vehicle could let marines move to the position you wanted. I just want to find a easier way to move drivers PS:Cmt's tag pack! i don't know who uploaded it to halomaps.org Edited by 117MC on Apr 8, 2010 at 09:39 AM

There's also another way to let marines drive hogs, but it gives no control at all over where they will go. It has the marine thinking he can fly or something, I don't remember. I shall refer to this method as Kirby's method. Come to think of it, there was a certain setup of vehicles that did somewhat use firing positions. I used it in this map: http://www.xfire.com/video/1d4044/ Though I once again do not recall exactly what I did with those vehicles, I think Glitcherguy set me up with those. My favorite option is of course by far the command list method. L0d3x , can you please tell me how you animated the pelicans to drop troops off correctly and give the correct script? Since whenever I make a custom .jmw animation, my vehicles just teleport to the middle of the map for the duration of the custom_animation T_T.

But i don't know how to make it. It didn't look like recorded animations. I have a serious problem with all my custom_animations since my vehicles just teleport to the middle of the map (point 0,0,0) whenever I tell my script to play them for the duration of the animation.

Since whenever I make a custom .jmw animation, my vehicles just teleport to the middle of the map for the duration of the custom_animation T_T. Uhh, your probably not animating around the map then? I am. I imported the BSP using the BSP Converter on this site. THEN I animated my vehicle (a jet from hugeass in an airstrike) around the map. However, the vehicle just teleports to point 0,0,0 of the BSP for the duration of the custom animation and sits there. I tried it with the vehicle model linked to the frame AND not linked to the frame (2 tests) but the results were the same. Same thing happens to me on every other map and animation. Can anyone help me? Edited by shadowce9 on Apr 11, 2010 at 10:03 AM

Open the .gbxmodel of the pelican. Open the animations you made and scroll down. Look for "checksum" thingies. Make sure the one from the animation = the one from the .gbxmodel You'll have to use Kornmann00 instead of Guerilla to adjust these values. L0d3x , thank you! I've been stuck with this problem for almost 2 weeks now and thanks to you I have finally solved it!
