nice maps, sniper thing is kinda annoying, when you mean vehicle floor, do you mean textures? Also could you please you show me how to do the script for the text based conversation in a sp map of my own(credits will be given).

By vehicle floor, I mean the lower bound for vehicles. It's used to prevent banshees from going down crevices, make boats float, etc...

I use hud messages for the rpg stuff. Here's a portion of the script I use:

(if (= (player_action_test_primary_trigger) 0) (show_hud_help_text true))
(if (= (player_action_test_primary_trigger) 0) (hud_set_help_text obj17))
(if (= (player_action_test_primary_trigger) 0) (player_action_test_reset))
(if (= (player_action_test_primary_trigger) 0) (sleep_until (= (or (player_action_test_jump) (player_action_test_primary_trigger)) true) 15))
(if (= (player_action_test_primary_trigger) 0) (sleep 2))
(if (= (player_action_test_primary_trigger) 0) (camera_set torturer 0))
(if (= (player_action_test_primary_trigger) 0) (hud_set_help_text obj18))
(if (= (player_action_test_primary_trigger) 0) (player_action_test_reset))
(if (= (player_action_test_primary_trigger) 0) (sleep_until (= (or (player_action_test_jump) (player_action_test_primary_trigger)) true) 15))

Everything is surrounded by (if (= (player_action_test_primary_trigger) 0) (some function here))
This allows the player to skip. There may be an easier way, but I don't know it if there is.

After someone says something, you reset the action test (if the player isn't skipping) then wait till they hit advance or skip.

The (sleep 2) was an attempt to prevent it from occasionally advancing two dialogue lines at once. It's not 100% effective, unfortunately.

You change the camera to look at the speaker. For decisions, I use a script like this:

(if (= (player_action_test_primary_trigger) 0) (camera_set odst1 0))
(if (= (player_action_test_primary_trigger) 0) (hud_set_help_text obj7))
(if (= (player_action_test_primary_trigger) 0) (player_action_test_reset))
(sleep_until (or (or (= (player_action_test_zoom) true) (= (player_action_test_action) true)) (= (player_action_test_primary_trigger) true)) 15)
(if (or (= (player_action_test_zoom) true) (= (player_action_test_primary_trigger) true)) (wake no))
(if (= (player_action_test_action) true) (wake reach)) ;; branches out

The only difference is you make it wait for different keystrokes, and you have a default choice if the player skips. When you're waking scripts, you have to have the dormant scripts above the main script, sort of like a declaration in programming. I hope that shows you how I did it.

Thanks, but idont think i will need the decision making part, i am not making a RPG like you are.
Just need help with starting a cut scene and then having a text based conversation between 2 or more characters.
p.s. if u want we can chat over xfire

The vehicle floor is in the structure bsp tag at the top.

Yes, decision making is a good thing. And it makes this campaign different than most others since it's on multiple maps.

decision making=branching off campaigns= more maps needed to be made=more work for me to do=staying up late nights=droopy eyes+tons of coffee
p.s. added you to my xfire

uuh I really liked the e10 map but why in e40 you play as a halo 2 odst instead of halo 3 odst like in e10?

also your download is broken it says file unavailable

I changed the main character to halo 2 odst because it had good animations. With the halo 3 odst, the player was stunned when they started losing health, and they couldn't pick up all weapons.

The download link it pretty old, so I think filefront has dropped it. I've uploaded to Halomaps, so hopefully the full campaign will be available with the next batch of maps.

that means no linkies for now :(
there was a batch of maps just uploaded i think yesterday and it didn't have these.
so that means we'll have to wait about a few more days :/

cant wait for e60 :)

Yea I guess, the Halo 2 odst would have better animations but what A really dont like about it is it dosent hold pistols right and it has that weird glitch with the back of the legs how when he walks theres a big crack what almost makes it look like his torso and both his legs are like ju floating close together so thats why I really dont like the halo 2 odst plus I always think h3 odsts look awsomer

Yeah, the ODST isn't that great, but it works for gameplay, so I don't feel the need to fix it.

Anyone know of a good map for a mythos fight? I'm considering doing g10.
