Invincible Teammates?

Post by Broadus »

I really like teammates in single player, and though I do just fine without them, I like it when they're around. What I'm seeking is a way to make it so every existing teammate in the single player game is unkillable. It's interesting to start out with a certain number of teammates and then see how how many remain by the end of their participation in the level, but it sucks when I go from ten teammates to zero just because I didn't put a ton of effort into keeping them alive. It's nice to have AT LEAST one at all times that follows me around, so even if all teammates weren't invincible, it'd be nice if at least one was invincible out of a group of many.
If there isn't already an existing mod like this, is there a way I could personally make such a mod? Where would I start?

I too like the AI team mates in SP my largest group was 5 (all of them with snipers) and myself in delta halo, if only they would follow you properly (eg in the space station there's 2 times when the ai stops following just before the armory and where you first encounter the bugz) how would you make them stick to you like s**t to a blanket?

I'm not really knowledgable about AI, but you could make them invincible through that I'm sure...As Johnsons's health is infact only at 100 (the same as any marine)...So you could go about checking some invincible box for certain marines...

Alternativley you could do what Jackson said, increase the health like 500 fold...So that way they are technically invincible, unless of course you fill them with 600 kilograms of lead and then fill their innards with plasma and replace their hair with pink needles...Ok you get the picture :P

Sounds good! I'll try to find out how to do all that...

Can anyone point me in the right direction to something that will help me edit these values? Y'know, a link to a program that can do such things? There's a ton of stuff in the tutorial section and it's really confusing.

I guess people figured you knew. Entity 1.3.9 is probably your best bet. Check out Xzodias website for new plugins.

Oh, thanks a lot! All I needed was the name of the program for the job.
