please be simperthetic to my question.....
how do i get the biped or actor to move there mouth in my cutscenes
as i use the "sound_impulse_start" for custom voices?

In Blender, you would use shape keys for facial expressions like this little bugger

skip to 05:02. I would modify the link so that it automatically jumps to that time frame but I have forgotten how to do that

I haven't tried to compile them into Halo yet though.

I'll post the script tomorrow for you. I figured out a while ago to be able to have a biped move their mouth when using any dialog

thanx guys, any help from you receives many thanx from me,

but am thinking, maybe for ai, i can use a command to make them say a dialog en some how prevent them from producing the dialog sound so i can just use the mouth movement and as for the player, probably by using (unit (list_get (players) 0) and then (ai_attach player0) then make the player say a dialog too ...... it would have been so much easier to use a biped but well, thats a victory for another day.

I am assuming you want this for machinima if so then you can map the flashlight key to a taunt effect and when you press the flashlight key the mouth will move with the taunt.

Scripting Lesson Yay!
I use "(sound_impulse_start [Sound Directory] [Unit Name/Biped] [Permutation])"

Example:
(sound_impulse_start sound\dialog\a10\a10_010_cryotech marine2 1)
Don't forget it.

intresting, for sound_impulse_start i usualy prefer to end it with "none 1" so there the sound is clear just incase my camera point isnt that close to the biped...... i'll give it a shot.
