its been a while since i used HEK so i wanted to know, how do i modify a vehicle to fire a different gun like for EXAMPLE: a Scorpion to fire a Spartan Laser. if anyone can help me with this id greatly appreciate it.

I'm not much of HEK person but, I think I know how to do this...

First make a backup of the vehicle, then open it in guerilla, then go down to weapons, then press the box with 3 dots ... , then on the weapon tag go down to triggers and select primary or secondary trigger (Primary trigger is the one that fires with Left-click and secondary is the one for Right-click, then go down to PROJECTILES and change the projectile to something like a fuel rod gun projectile, and if you where to do a spartan laser projectile you would need the spartan laser tag. Next you click SAVE AS and name it as like "laser-tank" then go back to scorpion.vehicle and change the weapon to "laser-tank" save and put it in sapien, compile it, then play it! Hope this helped!

I like your idea of the lasertank. Maybe I could try that! xD! But credit goes to you for the idea.

Anyway, how do I compile stuff?

ill try that thanks ill get back to you with the results. Results are in and it worked the only thing left is how do i change the main cannon sounds to the spartan laser firing?

edit again is anyone willing to make a new look for the tank for me? im considering making the tags public but if im gonna do that im gonna want to have a different model textures and shaders for the tank the reason im asking someone else for it is cause i suck at making models shaders and textures.

To compile a map open tool (cmd) and type

tool build-cache-file levels\*map name*\*map name*

and hit enter. If you haven't set-up tool yet then follow this:

1. search for cmd.
2. copy and paste in your halo ce folder.
3. When you open cmd it should show: C:\*your halo ce folder directory*>.

Hope this helped again.

Edit: Good it worked! I'll post how to give the sounds in a bit... I'm a little busy right now.

i already set up a personal compiler but thanks anyway. also if you want ill give you the tags when i finish the tank

The cmd set-up part was mostly for

Echoes

and I can't get sapien to work now but the tags would be nice when your done...

is anyone willing to make a custom model for the tank? its gonna keep the machine gun but change the main cannon to a laser the laser part was easy thanks to Halocombatevolved and the tank tags are gonna be released as soon as they are finished ill put everyone who helped out in the credits to be fair. also im thinking of making a fuel rod tank too so ill probably need a model for that too.

both of them should be small tanks so it can move faster.

I'm not sure how to change the sounds for the firing of the tank, but... can you see if you can help me with sapien? It's already in a topic but no one will respond but one guy and he said to run it as admin, but the same thing happend. Can you please help. http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm%3Fpage=topic&topicID=33369 you may be surprised at the debug. :)

im going to put the tags togeether as is and ill send them to you soon Hce but if you can id like to change the model and the models animations, so how good are you at modeling tanks that fit in with the look of all the halo 3 vehicles?

I'm not that good AT ALL! I still don't know how to make a custom vehicle or biped!

Tags will be public in early alpha stage soon

awezum...thx again to halo combat evolved (numbers i cant remember srry)
