...I told you that ages ago. ._.

you tell me alot of stuff :P

Thanks Dark Neon. Enforcer is now FTW.



Update: The turret-deploying grunt will not work without scripts, Gamma. The vehicle created by the projectile counts as "garbage" to the game. I have a script called garbageman:

(script continuous garbageman
(garbage_collect_now)
(rasterizer_decals_flush)
)

So the garbageman deletes the vehicle.

Enforcer modifications:
Needles home less, but earlier, and fire faster. Do less damage.
Explosives fire ballistically so they land down on you, like in Halo 2. Damage is brute shot damage.

Nevermind then, I guess I recalled Halo 2 wrong.
Still, ammo is a problem when it comes to scripts.

No, the grunt has a turret weapon called 'plasma_cannon_compact'. It's like a bubbleshield pickup. It fires once and spawns a turret vehicle. Just like vehicle-in-a-can.
Except the vehicle counts as garbage and gets deleted. It's better to script the turret gunt's action. He is meant to be purchased between waves. If you buy him during the action he must be protected as he walks across the map.
I don't think having the deployed turret as held weapon is a very good idea. It would work, but you coudn't use the vehicle afterward.

After he deploys the turret, the grunt gets in the gunner seat and gaurds the area. If you ask him to get out, he holds a plasma pistol.

make him hold a needler or atleast a PR,after all he is a grunt heavy.

Okay, I didn't think of that.

Just so we all know, the weapon list:
(EDIT: Also the price ranges)

Plasma Pistol
PR
--------
Needler
Carbine
Beam Rifle
--------
Energy Sword (battery)
Sentinel Beam
Fuelrod cannon
2 Grenades

rig some arbiter FP arms to Teh lag's rig,he has animations for the plasma pistol,PR,needler,energy sword,and FRG,for the other weapons get someone to make animations for them.

If I need animations I'll do them myself, unless someone already has.
Are Teh Lag's actually replica animations, or are they the "H2" anims from the [ H2 ] maps (I think jesse)?
Also, I don't have the fp hands yet.
Also, I have the new heretic model show above.

teh lag made new animations from SCRATCH ><

Teh lag hasn't realeased any h2 remake animations.
I need those, and a converted .max of the arbiter hands on halomaps.

they dont appear to be H2 remakes,however they're still useful and the arbiter hands released are max 8 format,just rerig them to teh lag's rig.

I have gmax. So it's .obj, .3ds, or .gbxmodel
I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the direction of some h2 animations or weapons, either as tags or in a map.

ah,I guess i'll export them for you,teh lag's animations are fine actually,and I can give you some fp gbxmodels that you can use on teh lag's animations.

Isn't there an opening in the level, where you can have phantoms drop off troops?

I was going to de phantoms but didn't want to tell! I have phantom tags, but sometimes the phantoms vanish midflight and stuff. You'll see phantoms in the final, where troops are depolyed on the platform outside.

I'm wondering if I should add more area to the bsp. Right now it's this:

Should I make more playing ground on the outside? I want to ask before I do this, because I really don't know whether people like the interior or exterior better.

Right now there are 2 entrances for heretics, and 5 entrances for sentinels.

Needs a playersize reference.

I'm too lazy to start gmax. Just look at the previous pictures.
And I just realizes that the two big columns are not aligned along Y. Wow. So I have to change the BSP anyway.

Area seems a bit cramped, needs maybe some playable hallways (wider than the spawning halls) connecting some walls, for cover.

How about if I add mor to the outside part. Kinf of like the b40 bridges, and it's centered around a landing pad.

NO NO NO LANDING PAD.

Please, my firefight map that I am making already is centered around a landing pad

This is a crappy old video of what I am talking about:

That's pretty cool. Like a50-firefight.
But because you totally don't understand, I'm putting my landing pad in.

not bad

Wait.... how are the landing pads going to look like? will it look like the one where you start off up in the beginning of the level... or the one of the banshees, but larger?

do you want me to find a better sientel beam? i got the h2 one somewhere in my tags

OH, so you're talking about the Halo 2 pads from the level on Basis?


Lol, that would be cool, indeed....

Absolutely, just find me on xfire.
EDIT:
I want to know how you guys fel about a different kind of firefight system for this map.
Right now, gameplay is wave-by-wave, very similar to firefight-portent. You earn credits per round. Enemies all enter at the same time and in increasing number and/or difficulty.
How about instead of waiting between waves, you earn credits per kill? Easier enemies are 'worth' fewer credits. There is a budget for AI allowed in the area. Enemies are inserted one-by-one or two-by-two into the firefight. Depending on how many kills you have made, enemies will insert in greater numbers and/or difficulty.
So there's a wave-by-wave system or a realtime insertion system. Both allow you to buy allies and guns. Which one would you prefer? Remeber that you can use recharging active camouflage, and that you start out with only a plasma pistol.
