How do?
I've seen loads of videos on Youtube about this but I'm still trying to figure out how to do this. If you're going to answer my question please type using simple English I'm going through my GCSEs at school so my thinking capacity is at a low. |

Quote: --- Original message by: ASP GRUNTS Put 2 seats in the cyborg biped: 1 driver seat, so that you can "drive" the biped 1 passenger seat for an fp-legs biped (stripped gbxmodel of cyborg, only includes legs). When you enter the biped, you will see the fp legs since you aren't its parent. Drawbacks: No jumping/crouching without heavy scripting. No color change according to your profile. No driving vehicles without scripting. I'm trying to do it with an ODST from H3:ODST Same principle? I haven't really done much with faffing about with stuff thats already done so you'll have to explain about the first bit... Sorry I'm just really consumed with my exams but I also want to do other things too. |

Quote: --- Original message by: ASP GRUNTS Yes it's the same principle. Edit the ODST tag by adding a seat in the seats block. Make sure you check the driver checkbox. Give it a seat name of anything the player can enter. Make another seat that is a passenger seat. Actually no, a gunner seat. Then, under UNIT HUD INTERFACE (which is under the seats block still), make a built-in gunner that references an actor which contains the fp-legs. How do you make those? Edit the ODST gbxmodel in 3dsmax by deleting all of the geometry except the legs, and compile as a seperate gbxmodel. Then just make a new biped tag for it. After referencing that to the actor tag, you need to set up IKs. This is so that the fp-legs biped moves correctly with the animations of the biped you drive. This is necessary so that the fp-legs you see in your fp view actually animate with what the biped is doing. These work by linking markers of a child object to markers of the parent, thus dragging along the bones that the markers are linked to. This is what Bungie used to make the player's hand stay on the steering wheel of the warthog correctly even though the steering wheel was turning all over the place. Study the warthog tags to figure out how they work, I won't explain everything. Though I'll tell you that the setup is in the animation graph. If you're even more confused then ask someone else lol. Much love to you :) I'm sure I can work from this. Thanks man :) |

Yeah, but there's an easier way.
In max, just import the biped... then select all the above-torso faces in the modify tab>editable mesh. Then you can delete them, or make them have an "invisible" shader. |

Er, yeah. Use the gbxmodel importer.
You'll want to make another material ID and sub-material for the invisible shader that halo will use. |

Or do what I did and make the alpha all black for the biped's textures ingame. On parts you don't want visible of course.

why not just have the cyborg body from the first mission in halo :revelie when you are sitting in the cryotube. I'm pretty sure that that was a vehicle. just add the normal animations that the cyborg would have
and another thing, how do we become invisible when we hit an active camo? |
