Now I recall on one thread some people were talking about variable vehicles speed and how unfortunately, you can't do it because the movement trigger are "binary."

However, I recall in such maps as Extinction and Coldsnap (I know, don't start halomaps), The jets (don't start) can actually move at two speeds. The standard forward speed (by pressing the "W"key) and a slowed speed more comparable to that of a pelican when you hold down the former key in conjunction with either/and/or the "A" and "D" keys.

Can this also be applied to other vehicles, like say the warthog, for large maps. The standard speed would be the default for maneuverability, but the secondary would be akin to the "fast" warthogs you typically find on large maps.

Furthermore, can differing speeds be applied to three different triggers. Ie: "A" for slow, "W" for standard, and "D" for fast. This naturally wouldn't work for vehicles like the ghost, but it would be a nice touch for the warthog and certain aircraft.

If it can't be done now, can it be done with OS?

Finally, I'm sure this has been addressed before, but does OS allow for VTOL-strafing?

With OS it's being looked into to have bipeds be enterable, so we can finally use flying bipeds for things like Hornets (or Hawks!). That won't be in the upcoming release though. I don't know the answer to your other questions though.

Dude! You know how 343 did the Mantis? They made it an enterable biped.
Do I foresee a Mantis in Halo CE?

Yeah but they also made overhauls to the animation system for it. Also the mantis dual wields. The support for entering bipeds is in H1 but was disabled. They had it for riding the dinosaurs and stuff.

Lol, I'd love to ride a Hunter around.
Giddyup!

what about the slender biped that was in slender halo I would enjoy following other players (other players being grunts)

I thought everything Bungie/Gearbox locked is already unlocked for modding now?
Or is that only for the HEK toolset?

Your looking at the engine level, not the tags. CV could explain it a lot better than me, but from what I understand they disabled the feature in the game that lets you enter a seat normally. You can enter biped seats via script fine right now, you just can't enter/exit them like vehicles, which is what the change via OS would unlock.
