Ok so while looking at the global.global tag I saw something about multiplayer character. So I want you to play as a marine on one of my maps so I used HEK+ to extract some marine tags and changed in Kornman00 multiplayer character from cyborg_mp.biped to marine_armored.biped. When i do that an error occurs when I open Ahobo/Sapien and my maps won't compile here it is:

My guess is that your marine tag is corrupted. Just delete the extracted marine files and extract them again.

Thanks but I think It might be because of missing tags. But anyway I'll extract them again thanks.

UPDATE: Yep missing tags, my advice to people who want to play as different characters using HEK+ extract all tags from the map.

UPDATE: NEW PROBLEMS!!!

A. The flood won't infect people! Is there a tag for this?
B. Is there a tag that determines what a character can use/mount?

Thanks!!

flood can only infect people in Halo 3. There is no way that a ally can change model and become your enemy in halo CE.

Sure you can; Is it reasonable to do? Nope.

First rig make a gbxmodel with a marine and flood permutation, and include two markers on the marine to attach additional bipeds that monitor floodlets.
(global boolean marine1floodizered 0)

(script continuous marine1pedz
(ai_look_at_object marine1-biped1 marine1-biped2)
(ai_look_at_object marine1-biped2 marine1-biped1)
(ai_attach marine1-biped1 looking-encounter)
(ai_attach marine1-biped2 looking-encounter)
(objects_attach marine1 "biped1" marine1-biped1 "head")
(objects_attach marine1 "biped2" marine1-biped2 "head")
(sleep 5)
)

(script continuous marine1floodizer
(sleep_until (and (= marinefloodizered 0) (= (unit_get_health marine1) 0)) 1)
(if (and (objects_can_see_object marine1-biped1 floodlet1 45) 
	(objects_can_see_object marine1-biped2 floodlet1 45))
(begin
(unit_kill floodlet1)
(unit_set_current_vitality marine1 75 0)
(object_set_permutation marine1 "" floody)
(ai_attach marine1 floodies)
(set marinefloodizered 1)
))
[other floodlets]
)

Two bipeds attached to the marine just look at each other. After the marine dies and isn't already floodied, wait until one of the named floodlets gets between the two bipeds looking deeply into each others eyes. It then murders the floodlet, sets the dead marines health to 75, changes the permutation to the floody permutation you added, and adds him to the encounter of floodies to join his buds in murdering you. It then sets a variable to let the game know hes already floodied so he can't keep getting resurrected by floodlets when ever he dies.


Also, for your information, if you can't understand easily what I've already said (the main points) your gonna fail at doing this.

Hey scripting! Seems easy enough to do. Seems similar to the kind of code I ran into while making a game. Only problem, in Saipien It won't let me use scripts.

you do realize that's per marine, with an example for only one floodlet?


Anyways, why do you think sapien won't let you use scripts?
