This is the Firefight map I have been working on for the past week. It has one round (5 waves) and a lives system. It is set in the map Fissurefall and has almostclassic tag set as well as some Lumoria assets.

I would prefer helpfull critasisem insted of a cat telling me that it is not amused.

this map wasnt made for firefight this is the firefight problem in ce..


oh this map is cool... lets make it into a firefight not taking good firefight gameplay into affect

what lives system?

^this

I wish I could try this out. It sounds like a good bit of work for only a week.
Yall tell me how it turned out.

Seems okay. I agree that the stock weapons are uninteresting in firefight, but I won't yell at you to change them.
The map is not goof for firefight. Clearly the ai have a hard time moving as a group over the ramps and stuff.

Please change the re-spawn location. on the last round I was getting constantly spawn killed. I also thought that round three was a little too high for 2-3 elites.

I like the idea because the map is a cool one to do it on, but I can see it will need some polishing. Get some help on things that people have said like point system ,lives, etc... unless of course you already know how to do it and just haven't implemented it yet.

So how does the lives system work? Are the lives limited?

there are 7 lives

(global short lives 7)

(global short points1 0)


(script continuous gameover
(if (= lives 0) (game_lost))
)

(script continuous seting
(hud_set_timer_time lives points1)
(pause_hud_timer true)
)

(script continuous life_lost
(set cheat_deathless_player true)
(sleep_until (<= (unit_get_health (unit (list_get (players) 0))) 0.01) 1)
(player_enable_input false)
(fade_out 1 0 0 90)
(sleep 90)
(object_create_anew skull)
(object_teleport skull spawn)
(object_teleport (unit (list_get (players) 0)) spawn)
(player_add_equipment (unit (list_get (players) 0)) ball false)
(sleep 30)
(player_add_equipment (unit (list_get (players) 0)) none true)
(sleep 30)
(player_add_equipment (unit (list_get (players) 0)) respawn true)
(set lives (- lives 1))
(object_create_anew skull)
(fade_in 0 0 0 90)
(player_enable_input true)
(sleep 10)
(object_create_anew skull)
)

thats how i did it

you should have attached an extra biped to the player right before the player is teleported to the spawn. Then detach the biped, kill it & make the camera_set_dead around the biped. It will imitate an actual death, except the weapons will not appear (if you use the unarmed biped).
It works, Iv done it myself.

This. This exactly. You can fake the player's death easily.

I will probably do that.

Also, what tag set do you want me to use out of:

• Classic


• Halo 3


• Halo 3 O.D.S.T.


• Classic mod (MA5K, Silensed ar, ect.)


• Halo 3 O.D.S.T. mod (Silenced br, ar with scope ect.)

Classic mod.
Map was a good start, but fix the jackals. I knocked one off the map and had to snipe it before continuing.

I have sortof go loadouts working in the map.

h3 tagset. classic tagset is horrible and overused.

haven't seen a decent halo 3 tagset. nobody knows how to properly emulate the recoil and weapon functionality.

Lookin good.
I also reccomend that you use a quicker fade out during a life loss.
That way, the process can be more streamlined.

h3sandtrap has fubar tags. they were fine during development, which I participated in. that video grunts had on his channel showed the best tags that were made (this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAM9IM19VjE). that was before somebody decided to completely replace them with a glitchy burst fire br, overpowered shotgun, and guns with projectiles that had such a huge offset that it was impossible to hit anything with

Win. XD
