Well akward title aside.

I was wondering if there was a way to implement the Halo reach assasinations into CE. I know that the player can "ride" another biped. I don't know much about this so I was wondering if there was a way to cause the players "entry" animation to be your custom assasination. Can you set it up to cause the biped's death after the animation is over?

If you know something that will work or think will work post it hear. I'd be happy to animate them and see if it will work.

I think it would be possible on single player with good scripting, you could definitely "ride" bipeds but yea it wil require animations. So techinically, it is possible. But Im not completely sure, wait for someone more experienced to comment

I've experimented with riding bipeds when I tried to make Blind Wolves, but all I tried was adding a seat to a biped with the warthog driver label, and that didn't really work.

I doubt anybody's going to take the time to properly animate every single variant of enemy interacting with the chief in an assassination animation.

i just figure make the whole animation and when you melee near a person the then the camera scrolls out. like with jump animations i guess, make like 3 assassination animations and it'll do one of those 3 randomly.

I assume all you need to do it set the camera point above you and make a frame for player two. Animate the scene around that frame and your all set?

Maybe not every variant, but I'm willing to do some of them.

and Ricola, I was thinking something like that could be possible too. Idk how I would do all that camera switching though.

I was assuming that it would only work for campaign for this reason. Is there some way to put a node in the biped's back that would detect from a certain area, similar to the way vehicle seats detect when you're near them?

Seats can be added to a biped, but I'm not sure if you can actually get in those seats. I tried it once and was unable to make a ridable biped.

blind wolf ridin time :p

For a single player level that is actually a good idea.

I have yet to see anyone do good stuff with the Blind Wolf I provided bo like 8 months ago (longer perhaps?)

Oye you, I got it walking...well...moon walking forward and doing back flips, that's about it.

Damn I thought I tried that. That's pretty sick.

So basically just somewhat similar to the vehcile hijack attempts in haloce except we are dealing with a biped now. Once the player is in the seat the animation needs tobe triggered rite?

And i retextured it. and the textures dont match the model much :L

Someone just animate a 10-frame death sequence for it? please? pleeeasse? Delicon?

I would love to see the blind wolf get some use.
As well as those dinosauer things we saw earlier.
You could make an epic pre-halo inspired sp!

That was my plan. I know how it should be done, but actually doing it its the hard part.

Okay so the AI must be identified as a vehicle in the script so that we can "ride" on it, but what if we got on an elite and it randomly barrel rolled? Would the player do a barrel roll with the elite?
Or would he be thrown away just like when a vehicle gets flipped? This question has been on my mind for several weeks now.

Get on xfire

The Elite would be a biped, so it wouldn't have vehicle physics meaning it would never flip over like a vehicle.

Although. I think there could be a problem cause the ai will have to be rendered inactive so the animation can kick in...

Don't know crap about scripting. So... anyways. Make a script that makes the AI active until you press a button to ride. Then the AI will get deactivated.

There is a command for object_can_see_object. Make is so if the enemy cannot see the player, and the player melees, and the ai dies, quickly attach a biped to the enemy, destroy-effect the enemy, make the player ride the biped. Easy.

If this idea works. I would like to have tags plz.

I am on Xfire, I'm just not on when you are. That, or in a fit of rage because someone was being retarded I removed you from my friend's list.

So it would seem I did remove you. Heh that was like 2 weeks ago and I already forgot. Shows how busy i've been getting then I suppose.

Add me if you wish. But you don't have to.

I'll add you again if you want to actually do something... otherwise tell me what you wanted to talk about on here via pm.

I wanna do something. (nothing dumb)

Tags for this don't exist yet, but it's definitely possible for sp.

Advancebo or Spartan_094 which one of yous has the latest version of the wolf?

Really?

I believe so. It would add another element to the game. For example: After an encounter you come out in a long valley without a vehicle and have to get to the other end. Your could walk but there is a small herd of blind wolfs milling about so you jump on one and they take off towards the other end of the valley. If they are scripted correctly then only a few will go directly to the end but others go into side areas where there can be small encounters, hidden stashes or another way into the objective. You could never know which ones will take you to the end. It adds repeatability to the level.

Redundancy, imo. It still acts lile a vehicle.

I guess. If you can't call in a peli with a hog.
