Usable Plasma Sword in SP

But if there's no damage value for it to begin with, there's nothing you can edit. It's the same problem as with the Gravity Rifle.

I'm curious, does the user ability in the AR weap tag need to be changed to "Sentinel/AR/GR" after the ES weap meta has been pasted onto the AR weap tag in order for the MC to be able to use it (and avoid the exception error)?

Yes, yes it does.

ok i got the plugin and everything and when it started the game i see nothing in my hand not evena hand and jsut a blue glow on the ground, is it possible to SEE it in mc hand?

No, because there is no FP model or animations for the sword.

Well there are animations for it, but they only apply when the yellow Elite uses it. Would it be possible to associate those actions with the energy sword when the MC uses it?

I have tried that, it end up with the marines possesing swords but not using them, and you being disarmed.

oh, you're armed with sword, but you can't melee, so it may appear that u have no weapon.

no, you have no weapon, as soon as you run over one, it does that auto-pickup it does when you have 1 or fewer guns.

Wraith · Post by **Wraith** » Fri Dec 12, 2003 4:32 pm

No, you do have a weapon. It just does the auto pickup because you're not supposed to have it.

Has anyone ever experiemtned with getting the MC to hold more than 2 guns? I know it was possible with a glitch in PoA on the Xbox, so I'm sure it could be duplicated on the PC.

The sword explodes on me and so does the fuel rod.

I used the weapon plug-in and switched the energy sword with the pistol and it worked but... the sword wasn't visible, it did no damage, and I auto-picked up a gun lying on the round. All in all, it really isn't worth it because you don't actually get to use the sword.

You'd almost need to change some of the [actor] paths for the MC so that they match those of the Elite in order for the animation to work. And damage could be swapped with any weapon's melee.

i have figured out the whole thing i can get the plasma sword in it but it seems wierd but it really wrks.... ok all you have to do is import the modle of the plasma sword into bg then replace the modle of the plasma rifle with the plasma sword then you make it to where the plasma rifle shoots zero projectiles then up the melee damage then waala you have a wrking awesome plasma sword... but the only problem is you have to also the plasma shader i think the one that makes it flare.. then you in hope you can do it right

I've done it before on X-Box (very easy), but havn't tried on PC yet... I'll post back when I find out...

I just thought of something... If you play as a flood combat form, you can't control when it swings it's arm to hit something... It just happens... I wonder if the plasma sword is the same way...

the plasma sword is real funky, it has something in its meta that tells it to automatically hit humans only. much like the hunters sheild. you can use it, but it hits ur teammates only. a cool idea for multiplayer would be to create a plasma swordish model and replace the skull with it.

p.s. I FINALLY UNDERSTAND META!

Really? I swapped the marines with sword elites, and they killed covenant enemies. Every single one of them, in fact. Not a single swipe at me(until I screwed something up).
