So my question to you guys...

is there a possible way to make the player vault over an obstacle? (please don't say "Just simply jump over it." or "crouch jump -- it exists")

Why I'm asking this is because I've been doing a lot of third person animation lately and I've been wondering if things such as vaulting, proning, sprinting, sliding and etc would be plausible with the halo engine.

Thanks, (for reading :P)

Probably as a trigger-able animation via script that releases control from the player. Or a vehicle-enter animation.

:O! Awesome...

You could make it a vehicle with enter/exit anims, but I think the default model_anims only have like 2 free slots, so you could do the enter and exit anim for one type of scenery, and that would be it. (you might need an idle too actually, but I'm not sure).

Either way it's a lot of work with very little payoff.

E: As far as the triggerable anim goes, that's possible but you'd need 2 trigger volumes per object. One from each side. Four if you have a square. That's a lot, but it would work I assume. You'd need it to test for a key push though, unless you want people to auto vault over it. I think theres like player_test_button_action (been a while since I checked this part of the scripting bible) that you could use.

Definatly cant wait to see where you take this!

Holy crap how are you guys on so late..?

SO MANY THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND (Sorry I don't actually use Tool or HEK+.. or... idk?)

I was just wondering because if anyone had the word yes in their post, I'd be willing to make animations for it and bother M16 assault to put it in game or... one of you guys :P

I have actually thought of this before. I am *almost* 100% sure that it will work, and I have been planning out a project that would implement it (as well as a few other cool things that havn't been done before as far as I know). However, it will be quite some time before I am ready to *officially* announce my project.

Yes, it is possible. if you make the animations and export them as a .3ds i'd be willing to put it in-game for you. it would require a little bit of scripting, but it's not too tough...And i'd make 2 different types.

1: for MP: you run up to the object and it automatically does it.

2: SP only: you run up and hit jump in order for it to activate.

or there's a third that is activated by flashlight key instead of jump, that would work for either. your choice, man. PM me if you're interested. Lol.
