vehicle view

since you are in third person view when driving a vehicle perhaps you could use something dealing with vehicles to make the mod.

u could make a mastercheif vehicle that has a third person view?? just a thought.. so instead of like a ghost model its a mc and it has mc physics and rins around like mc.. and is mc, but 3rd person

i agree

I agree with that idea, you could just make an invisible vehicle that moved in the same way as the master cheif

yes, but since you're in a vehicle object... the warthog/banshee/ghost's/etc. aren't designed to have other vehicles in them, only players. Hence the reason you can't drive over a tank in a ghost, press "w", and hop in...

maybe you could make it so it bypasses that little bit of "security", then it would probably work.

what im saying is that you make a vehicle that is a masterchief.. its just like any other vehicle.. its 3rd person and fires the selected weapon (thats the downfall) and so when u "get in" the new mc acts exactly like the old one.. so its in 3rd person... if designed rite u will only see 1 mc.. but if u want u can see 2 mcs... the collsision model will also be a mc.. the only down fall here (now that i think about it ) is that when u run into people in ur mc vehicle u vehicle kill them... lol

3rd person

The 3rd person vehicle would be cool if you could do everything you could do on foot (change weapons, throw grenades, ect.), but if it was just acted like a normal vehicle it would not be worth the hassle.

umm, just a comment but i once tried to have my shotgun shoot out the actor variant of master chief in a banshee, that crashed the game, im not sure if being the actor variant in the game is possible, or maby the game just doesent know where to put the actor variant if he isant being controled/supported by a vehicle

diffrent

the player would be controling the master cheif, if you were simply creating another master cheif without editing numerous variables of the game i could frsee it crashing. The third person mod would be much diffrent.

well from what i know, the value for a biped camers view is D4EF6140, and the closest one i can think of to 3rd person is the worthog gunner view which is E8AB8E40, now in return how do u make a vehical invisible?

ask the flying turret people

i suggest you ask however made the flying turrets, they made the turrets invisible.

hmmm...switching out a vehicle for master chief has all kinds of problems that wont work, namely control and animation issues....here's a little observation i made:

when you get out of vehicles, the camera is in third person for like 2 seconds, and in that time you can't shoot your weapons ...now, when you get into the passenger side of the warthog, the game will let you shoot in third person for the 2 seconds it takes to zoom into 1st (you even have the crosshair in 3rd person for a sec too)...

so what's that tell me? a default third person camera already exsists and bungie/gearbox has locked firing weapons from third person...so...there are a few "tags" that need changing. one to keep the third person camera from zoomimg into first and maybe a couple more to enable shooting in third person.

looks like we might have to change some meta properties for this to work...

lol shut up. i will not leave. who do you think you are? the answer to your question is because i would like to have a 3rd person view and instead of making a new topic i replied to one that was already made.

now stop flaming because you know i have 3.5. i am sorry i flashed a screenshot of it, i thought you all would be mature enough to handle it :?
