If it is one animated solid conveyor model with an unmoving collision model, then I don't see why not.

If the collision is meant to move the players, then no. That goes against Halo's physics engine anyway.

Many things are able to be made for CE from Halo 2. But Halo CE's engine is just a port of that used in Halo on the Xbox back in 2001. At the time they didn't make a physics engine that could sync online, or even carry you on a conveyor belt in single player. So today we can't make physics sync online. Maybe more could be done if there was accessible source code to the engine, but unfortunately Halo didn't turn out that way.

I believe I misunderstood your question, sorry about that. I thought you meant something completely different.

What you're asking might be possible(in theory). Maybe you could play with this:

I know it's an elevator, but maybe it could be altered to act as a conveyor belt or at least get the effect you would like.

Heres a map that demonstrates what might not be the same tag, but it's the same concept:

Just enter the building from the ground floor and the elevator is against the back wall.



Now whether or not this will sync online is beyond my current knowledge. But I hope this has helped a little bit.

Well, the elevator doesn't even sync. You could play with collision, though, and make invisible converyor-walls or something like that.

This is the last time I will explain this because quite frankly after over six years I am tired of it: The following things do not sync across the network:

1) AI - any actor variant

2) Animated Scenery - of any kind with any collision

3) device machines - of any kind

All three things run independently on the client and no information, status, health or position is transmitted between server and client. Triggers (biped crush) can be used for device machines however the actual device does not sync and the server's device will ALWAYS be at a different position than the client's. For on/off devices like fast moving doors this error may be acceptable in game play but will always glitch.

As a rule of thumb do not design your game play to depend on syncing one of those three things.

Go ahead people knock yourself out trying to prove the facts wrong. It is the same game as it was 6 years ago and smarter people than you or I have tried but have found that the fact remains that AI, Animated scenery and Device Machines do not and will not sync in a multi-player game. It just wasn't designed for it.

To answer your main question of will it sync: No.

I'm done.
