How is this made?

Besides another questions, are cinematics mp compatible?

I already ask this but does mp suport (object_create "object") scripts?

What is the limit of objects and vehicles in servers?

thanks

Shader Symbols

The following table shows the list of special material or shader symbols used to assign certain attributes or behaviors to a particular surface in the level. These shader symbols are hard-coded in the tools and game to be recognized as applying their associated attribute when added to the end of a material name.
These shader symbols should NOT be used or added to the name of a material unless it is for the specific function for which it is designed. These symbols should not appear anywhere in the normal name for a material nor should these special symbols appear in the name of a data tag (.bitmap, .shader_environment, etc…).
The shader symbols are taken into account during the compilation of the .jms and affect the surfaces at this time.
For example, if a ladder is created using 2 polygons and has the material “ladder” (without the quotes) assigned to it. This ladder is able to be viewed from both sides. To make the ladder a true ladder with respect to the Halo engine AND to make it able to be viewed or rendered from both sides the “%” would be added as well as the “^”. The resulting material name viewed in 3ds Max for the Sub-Material under the Multi/Sub-Object would be “ladder%^” (without the quotes). The data tag name would still be ladder.shader_environment.
%
Two sided property. This flag or shader symbol when applied to a material that is applied to a face or surface renders both sides of the surface instead of just the side that the normal is facing.
#
Transparent property. This flag or shader symbol when applied to a material that is applied to a face or surface allows the surface up to be rendered with transparency.
!
Render only property. This flag or shader symbol when applied to a material that is applied to a face or surface makes the surface only render the face, the face or surface will not have any collision.
*
Large collideable property. This flag or shader symbol when applied to a material that is applied to a face or surface sets the surface up to not be rendered and only have collision.
$
Fog plane property. This flag or shader symbol when applied to a material that is applied to a face or surface makes the surface not be rendered. The faces acts as a fog plane that can be used to define a volumetric fog region.
^
Ladder property. This flag or shader symbol when applied to a material that is applied to a face or surface sets the surface up to act as a ladder for the player.
The surfaces is climbable.
-
Breakable property. This flag or shader symbol when applied to a material that is applied to a face or surface allows the surface to be able to be destroyed or broken. (e.g. glass)
&
AI deafening property. This property does not apply to multiplayer levels. This flag or shader symbol when applied to a material that is applied to a face or surface allows that surface to inhibit AI functions.
@
Collision only property. This flag or shader symbol when applied to a material that is applied to a face or surface sets the surface up to not be rendered and only have collision.
.
Exact Portal property. This flag or shader symbol when applied to a material that is applied to a face or surface makes the surface able to be used to define an exact portal.

TIPS:

-Never use OS_tool with glass, for some strange reason when you see the glass ingame haloce would start to have performance issues.
-Dont export many separeted objects with the same glass material, add a new glass material for each object (windows).
-Never use hight-poly meshes with glass type materials. goes for models above 15 vertices instead use add multiple glass materials.

Object create works in multi player but you need to understand how to make it sync. Vehicle limit is 512.

The obviousness of this post was too mind obvious to comprehend.

Sorry i didnt explain my self, i want to know how to make the mesh, not the material. Its posible by other ways but its to poly consuming (my own techinques that i have, basically separating in to diferent meshes)

I would like to post a pic, but tinypic banned my acount

That's why you don't upload fox nudes to the internet.

wtf are you talking about? My avatar does nothing to do with this

.... nvm.

when someone posts an annoying gif that makes your eyes bleed. but seriously, if I was to name a material "glass#" in gmax, would that be usable as a glass surface?

You forgot the warning. Man you are irresponsible to say the least.



Oh & jobalisk try it like this:

Shader_name%

E.g

Zanzibar_glass%

Make sure you have a shader setup for your glass material though.

And use 3dsmax.

naa, I have 3ds max, and I like Gmax more, its easier to use I find. but I already got glass into the game under glass# which works fine and is unbreakable and collidable
