How would I go about adding a plasma grenade chain spawning thing to warlock or any of the new maps. I found another guide on here but it was just for headlong. I dont mod old maps so it wasnt a big help. Oh and I would prefer to use Entity to do this.

First i would like to say its not a good thing to say you only mod new maps, it makes you seem a little suspicious. Also in order to chain spawn you have to use an effect that has bloc spawning chunks on it, you would swap out those chunks for the proj of your choice.

oops, I dont cheat or anything, its just that I never figured out how to mod the old maps. Oh and thank you, a little vague, but I think I get it. If I have any problems I'll let ya know.

You mod old maps by putting halo 2 on your hard drive.

mammoth, I know, I just dont know how last time I tried it didn't work.

chain spawning problem: where are these bloc tags for plasma grenades.

The bloc tags are located in the effe, for example the most common effe used in chain spawns is the cove battery explosion and it has 3 tags with blocs in it that you can change to projs.

ok would this work (my xbox died recently so I cant check at this very moment). I got cove battery explosion from headlong and put it in my map(elongation). Then, I changed the 3 detenation effe to the battery explosion. Finally in cove battery explosion, I changed the 3 bloc to plasma grenades. should this work?

sound about right , but dont make it the plasma grenade that spawns more plasma nades because then you will end up with a never ending chain that will keep adding more and more plasmas till the map freezes.

great it works, and about the freezing, its ok, i'm gonna use it in a custom on a small level where everyone only has 1 life, kinda like dodgeball with stickies. thanks to everyone for the help.

No problem, but a warning from my own experience. 1 plasma can be 400 in a few moments.

Can't you just add some bloc chunks to the plasma grenade's effect with Entity?

yeah you can do that too. I added chunks to the rocket exhaust once and made plasmas spawn so it's possible problem is it froze my map when other things were done.
