Cut Animations

[Bozzy]

Is there a way for in b30 to have the marines keep going and not stop after clearing the beach??
Can you add animations and make them help you through out the entire level??
If so, what app?

its not about animations. i think it may be a script, but i found something works (when enimies are around). go into the actor tag, and find the "always charges at enimies(something like that)" and always charge in attacking mode. "must move when standing/crouching" may work. also look at encounters. in the scnr

I've edited Encounters plenty of times. You can produce giant armies of laggy enemies just by checking "Place At Start". I'll just change a bunch of the scenerio tags and hopefully they won't stop under the forerunner structure on the beach.

try the actor edit thing i said. also, the marine encounter is: encounter 23.

Sorry, but this is only done with scripting.

Is it possible to cut out a script? If I can cut out the stopping script I might be able to make a script for the marines to follow the player.

It could kill the map but sure.

scripts are currently uneditable in halo demo, and most likely stay that way.

They are editable, but you will need to use a hex editor to do this. Both the indexed byte size value of the script text and the script text itself will need to be edited, I think, or perhaps only the script text. You're looking for a plain text value in the scnr tag. Find the script offsets using my plugins and Eschaton, then modify the script text in HexEdit or some other hex editor like 0xED.

What are these scripts and what do they do?

[Mgalekgolo]

Makes AI's smarter, controls how and where the enemy dropships ect.

[Mgalekgolo]
