Yeah, but don't they wait until you kill the ones outside before they spawn? That would mean that it wasn't a set point in the level they spawned at. Anyway, it's just speculation, but I think there's a possibility that there is a moving spawn point attached to the scarab. I'll have to look at it some more. There are lots of interesting things you find when looking around. For example, under the scarab's phmo, there's something that says "banshee dock." Now I'm just speculating again, but I wonder if there's a place on the scarab that was meant to hold a banshee. You can land on top of it and all, but if there was something that actually held it for you, that would be cooler. I'll have to play the last level in sp and experiment.
Well, nothing new to report on the hex subject. Have to admit I'm a little intimidated by it, and I'm looking for other ways.

If you open a map with a scarab in insolence, go to the scarab under phmo, switch to dev mode, and start clicking around, one of the things you'll find is called banshee_dock. That's all I really know about it. I'm just guessing from the name that there is something (probably disabled in the game) that will hold a banshee, either by actually grabbing it, or just a place where a banshee will stick to it. Or maybe there was going to be, but they discarded the idea and never finished it. You never know with these things. I found it intriguing is all--but you can just land a banshee on top of it anyway.
Well, I figured out why I was having trouble making a scarab spawn--I was using coag for experimenting, even though I planned on making the map in containment. I did this, just because there's plenty of open space in coag. Well, I guess you have to give coag a mach tag before you drag the scarab into it. Anyway, I injected the scarab into containment and tried switching the banshee's hlmt with it. This resulted in no banshee or scarab being present, and any other vehicle (warthog or mounted turret) disappearing when you got anywhere near it. So I messed with spawn points, and that fixed the other vehic's, but still no scarab. Messed around a few more times, and so far I actually saw the scarabs in the map once for a fraction of a second. It seems they try to spawn every once in a while, causing some texture glitches in the game, but they never really spawn. Also, if I'm flying the hog (I made the hog fly so I could get up to the scarab) in the area it should spawn, when it tries I die. So is there a reason why this shouldn't work? I still haven't solved the problem with the legs, but for now I'm just trying to make the thing fly at all.
Also, bit of a repeat, but if anybody knows how to make a moving texture like greennc did in the Mount Doom mod, I'd really like to know. (I pm'd him-just waiting for a responce now).
