Post by Choking Victim »

in this thread: http://www.halomods.com/forums/viewtopi ... b+scorpion the guy says that he got elites to climb into the scorpion but he never tells how he only says he edited the [antr] now i was wondering if anyone knows how to make marines get into the drivers seat of the warthog when i get in the gunners seat and also get into the warthog randomly like how they get into ghosts.

For the second thing you should be able to just swap the damage effect of the sniper trigger with something else (like the AR).

I don't think it's possible to make it like an AR. That would involve actually changing the animation, nothing you can just swap. I doubt you could do it at all on PC, you might be able to on CE.

It's not an animation I don't think. Swapping the trigger damage (TRIGGER, not bullet), will stop the screen shaking, etc.

I got it so it doesn't kick back at all. I had extracted fp.antr.meta for the sniper rifle, I went in with a hex editor and replaced the fire-1 effect metadata with the idle part right below it(except for the name, I started with the byte right after the e in idle and copied until it went to all 00s and pasted that right after the 1 in fire-1), saved, injected it and there it is, doesn't kick back at all.

No it didn't. The screen shakes a little from the jpt!, but that's it. They really messed up the firing offset, the bullet shoots from the right of the gun, looks really bad.
