Hello, I've been playing halo for quite a while and just recently have finally been able to start modding maps for it. I know the basics of adding AI and making them move, but when I tried to make command scripts (for example, get an actor to jump into a vehicle) they wouldn't do anything. Also is there a way to get the AI to run across the map, when I use move positions they just walk, and I'd rather use something else than firing positions to get them to run. Is there some sort of general tutorial or PDF that explains EVERYTHING about sapien? I know you're probably going to say, go to this post or that and I have, and I watch a couple videos but yet I can't seem to figure out what I did wrong...

My plan is I want to make maps with smarter ai, basically try to be more "tactical" I guess, like if A is getting shot by B, then A will either move to cover or try to flee. I have my work cut out for me seeing the AI is as dumb as a doorknob unless you tell it what to do but if you answer my questions or guide me to some tutorial that would be great.

Also, how would I program an AI to operate a stationary turret whether it be Covenant or Human (can I make marines operate covenant turrets?)

Anyway, thank you in advance until then I will keep trying to figure this out on my own.

*UPDATE*

Well, I figured it out, now I'm going to figure out how to make AI drive vehicles besides ghosts. Also, anyone know where I can find LAAG tags? I extracted it from "The Engine Room 2.0" but when I tried adding it in Sapien it crashed, I'm using the vulcan minigun turrets for now, but I feel that they might be a bit overpowered in an AI battle (I'm trying to a beach assualt sort of like D-Day with Death Island) anyway, if I have anymore questions I'll ask again.

the only thing taht i know is taht the comand saya "dont work with swarms" it wont excute on more than one actor..
maybe later i can make or find a tutorial for sapien

Okay, well it doesn't matter anymore, I decided to stop modding for a while because I need to focus more on my studies, mostly because I get too obsessed when it comes to video games, I think I know what I did wrong, but I'm not sure, I'd still like to find out more. Though I do have some more questions, I want to make it so if I get out of vehicle the AI riding with me will get out as well, same goes for an AI, which I want to find out how to program AI to get out of the vehicle after a certain point.

I also want to program the AI to fallback to a certain position if either the enemy outnumbers their own, or if too many of their friends get killed. I don't mean just run away, I want to program them to find cover (if any) and try to hold off the enemy until all the enemies are dead or until reinforcements arrive. I still have many more questions, and I'm this is all possible in the game, I know I won't be modding for a little while but I figure I could still learn more about modding in the meantime.

UPDATE:

Another question I have is can I make the AI climb ladders? Or would I have to use teleport command script instead, by this point I've pretty much figured out how to execute commands, although some didn't seem to execute in Sapien like idle conversation and aim and shoot. I'm not sure if AI can climb ladders, I wouldn't think any bipeds besides the spartan bipeds would be able to support it.
