Question: how do i make AI (like elites) that are NOt in vehicles?

Answer: you cant really, the closest thing you can do is use Spark-edit to turn the vehicle over so they fall out when it spawns. But then they just stand there.

Question: How do i make them move around once they are out?

use HMt to export it's mod2 model as a .obj file, then edit it as desired, and re-import it.
WARNING: if you do intend to re-import an object, you can change neither the number of verticies or faces, all you can do is move bits of it around.

Question: how would one us MS3D to generate a collision model for a vehicle that has none (ex. the Longsword fighterbomber) without using HEK? is there a plugin for HMT that will allow you to export/import collision models as .obj files? or maybe by generateing raw-data for the ggeometry and importing that?

export everything, those duplicates are LODs (Leves Of Detail) used to reduce system strain by drawing lower-quality models when at a distance. edit all the LODs to be mostly identical and superimpose them over each other they way they were when you fist opened the extracted file

I have Sparkedit 3... how do you swap scenery for vehicles in the game? all it gives me are scenery options.

Edwin · Post by **Edwin** » Wed Jul 21, 2004 9:35 pm

you cant, bt you can add vehics. select the vehicle you want, and in one of the drop-down menues select copy. then use the sawapper to make the vehi what u want it to be (the swapper may require trial-and-error as it doesn't allways show names correctly), then move the vehi where you want it.

well... what if the map doesn't have any vehicles in it?

Edwin · Post by **Edwin** » Thu Jul 22, 2004 3:54 pm

rebuild it with them in it, and under one of the menues is 'import new tags' import your vehicle. then just add it into the level.

Just to clear up a thing or 2:

You can only make new collision models through HEK. there is no way to make new ones through non-HEK methods (although I'm not sure about that new Xbox stuff).

On Halo PC, how can I make the campaign playable by a number of people, in a sort of Co-Op mode. I heard you could play Co-op on the X box version.

EDIT: The post below this looks like spam.

Is it possible to change MC's running speed? If so, how?

HunterXI · Post by **HunterXI** » Tue Aug 03, 2004 1:14 pm

yes, very

in HMT (I haven't used HMT in soooo long, so I think this is true), go to his biped [bipd] tag. If there isn't anything there, try in the Game Globals section, I'm not exactly sure where it is, but I believe that it is under Game Globals.
