Alright, so I want to use some of the default campaign animations for a c_dropship.vehicle.

Correct me on this:

1. put a c_dropship vehicle in sapien on the ground named "hello" (without quotes)
2. imported recorded animations from b40
3. scripted (scenery_animation_start hello fort_cship_drop true)

So then I would use an animation like fort_cship_exit

To get the dropship out right?

Also how would I get AI to start out in the dropship and make them get out?

im not sure how to start them in but i know there is a script for getting ai to exit a vehicle, you just need to put a time on when they exit.

edit: found it
(vehicle_unload <unit> <string>)
unit is the encounter and string are the seat names.

After u spawn the ai:
(vehicle_load_magic hello "" (ai_actors wave3_ghost))

I think. Not too sure tho. Probly wrong but thats what i'd try

So, I wouldn't need an AI in the driver seat, but I would need one in the gunner seat and passenger seats. I found this in the a30 script:

(vehicle_load_magic pass_banshee_1 driver)

geez you would think there would be a tutorial for something like dropships

ya except that script will only work with the correct seat name. (i dunno if that^is or not)

Then once the vehicle is loaded, script the vehicle to do the animation. When it has finished script it to hover then unload then sleep until everyone is out then play the exit animation. To find these commands just open the halo scripting bible and go to edit in the top left and search for keywords about the commands
