Hey all,

I've been looking around for some good tags recently, but haven't been able to find a decent energy sword tag. I've been looking through the weapon tags section and searched through some maps, but haven't found anything.

Do you guys have any suggestions on any ones out there? Thanks.

yeah and the maps not protected

how is the lunge on that one? I haven't been able to try it on an actual person

I just tried it, thanks for the suggestion guys. The lunge on that energy sword isn't totally out of whack and has a build in ammo system.

One problem I found with it though is that it is weak. I did a test against an elite AI and it took 3 swipes to kill it. Do you guys know if there is any way to increase the power on it?

Do you guys have any other suggestions? This is the best one I have found so far, so thanks.

Increase the power of the damage effect referenced in the projectile.

I'm not finding it.

What category is it under?

Isn't in !jpt or something?

I don't see it. I'm sure it's just right under my nose, but I just don't see it. I would think it would be under: "Functions" or something but it's not.

Except that when you miss, you still lose battery

damage effect... !jpt is for Halo PC noobs.

QFT

Also thats the compiled tag exstention .JPT

Your looking in the tags for .damage_effect.There may be several but like gamma said your looking for the one the invisible projectile uses.

There is an energy sword in Hydrolosis with a good lung as well as two swipe varients; i don't know if its protected but i hope it helps. (btw this particular sword is a one hit kill weapon)

GO download jahrain's "energy sword with working lunge" on this website. SEARCH BEFORE YOU POST NEXT TIME.

I have, and it's not quite what I'm looking for. Those tags are around 4-5 years old and I was wondering if there was anything more recent and updated out there. Like a halo 3 energy sword. And I have, with those guys help, found a decent one.

Which one?

Then use H3 Containment's energy sword and use jahrains lunge system. Easy as that.

The lunge works fine on H3 containment. It's the damage I'm trying to fix.

I also tested Jahrains energy sword on an elite AI, and got the same weakness as I did from the H3 one. I'm guessing that these were probably meant to be used online and not against elite AI, hence why the power is weaker. Just an assumption though.

Did you not read the above posts into trying to change the damage_effects?

I have, but what I have not found out is, how much to raise the damage effect by, and where specifically to change the number.

There is a section called damage modifiers, with 33 options on how to change the damage, I believe.

Lower bound damage, upper bound damage...

change this (yellow marked) for a high value

Yes, because the standard damage bound is 151 to kill just about anything (mainly us Spartans, but w/e).

If you want to be safe, then I'd suggest ramping up the damage bound to ~5,000, as that is a guaranteed insta-kill (I borrowed that idea from a vehicle hitting a biped - found in globals.globals)
