Sigh. What are you people talking about?
You could do it in xml I'm pretty sure. Just replace one of the attachments. It's fairly complicated and probably won't work, so I won't explain.

how do you edit xml documents? i always open them and try to type something and it never works.

notepad!
But trust me, it probably won't work. But.... you could try:
in ghost_mp.vehi.xml:
Code: Select all
<Dependency>
<Location>0x3EC</Location>
<Tagclass>effe

You have to rebuild the map with the new XML file.

he used my vehicle plugin

so you can make ai like marines get in the drivers seat of the warthog with your plugin?

o_O Your vehicle plugin doesn't do that. That info isn't even in the vehicle tag (unless you change the seat name, which will look pretty ugly in a warthog).
It's in the antr, just replace all the elites G-Driver info with W-Driver. Should work, you'll need to hex though.

yes it is just check off a few flags (wont say which on request of MNC) then you can marines driving the hogs (i think you have to put them in there with hht though)

i already know how to make em drive but i want to make them physically get into the drivers seat of the warthog so that i dont have to put them in it. and Dan i tried changing the antr to W-driver but it didnt do anything because the marines are already able to get into the drivers seat of the warthog they just arent programmed to do it. so im thinkin maybe find the code that makes them get into the ghost and switch it with the drivers seat of the warthog.

Hex editing their antr should do it occording to ICE FIRE's vague post. Just go in and change the G-Driver ____ to W-Driver ____, but not the first one (which is just G-Driver by itself). Technically it should work.

i edited G-driver enter and made it W-driver enter but that made all the elites in ghosts not be able to get into the ghost so maybe if i edit W-driver to say G-driver itll work.
edit: nope didn't work

Editing the G-Driver to W-Driver would make them enter warthogs instead of ghosts. That's why they're not getting in.

i know and neither did making W-driver G-driver.

Sigh. Maybe you mistyped something in the post you made before the one above this, but G-Driver stands for ghost driver, so if it says G-Driver, it'll get in a Ghost and drive, if it says W-Driver it'll get in a warthog and drive, but it can't be able to do both at the same time.

i know i tried it both ways and neither worked id switch em, then save it, then play the level i did it on, park the warthog near a marine and they just ignore it like it wasn't there.
