three little question that would be very grateful if respondents =D

1:how to change the animation of a weapon?(do i have to go,to 3dsmax again...? LOL)

2:is possible to make a custom animation play when the player/s die? (on MP? or just on SP?)

3:sombady here know the *cryhalomaps mod*?(I do not know either but the name was strange)

Thanks in advance :)

1. If you want to create your own animations, yes you have to use 3dsmax or another modeling/animating program that is in the scope for halo format exporting. Otherwise, if you have animations with the same nodes as the weapon, you can use that and match the nodelistchecksum.

2. Yes, same process as above.

3. no

yes? same process? i dont understand i know how to do it,but i mean how do i make it play *with an script* when the player die.

it would be too much work to script a custom animation to the end of a player.not to mention extremely buggy. it would be better to import the biped into max, re animate the death animation then export. (im not shure what the animation is called because i have never animated a biped)

well is not soo easy like an death animation..is for an cutscene...soo that should not work killzone...

its the exact same and actually easier than what you are trying to do, because in your case you would need to write a script and do the animation, as compared to just making the animation and applying it to your biped

ok thanks......do you have xfire? xDDDDDDDDD

yea im just not on my normal pc right now so i cant help atm

though you could use a script for a cutscene if that's what you need

i would use a modified version of this script to play your animation

(custom_animation biped_name animation_path)

create the biped animation in max then you would probably use a sleep until function then player health 0

i beleve it would be
(script static void death_scene
(custom_animation biped_name animation_path)
(sleep (player health 0))

thats the basic idea. you should probably ask kirby to help you with the script since i can only do basic things.
