ODST Drive a Warthog

Evilsnowflakes · Post by **Evilsnowflakes** » Fri Aug 03, 2007 10:16 am

I'm working on a mod in coag and I injected a odst using this tutorial http://forums.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=55368

the only problem is that he won't ride in the side seat or get in the driver seat of the warthog, He also won't get in a stationary machine gun turret. Is there a way so that the bipd will be able to do this.

thx.

Something to do with SIDs (String IDs).
Change the vehicle SID to one that the bipd can drive.

I was looking through the vehi tag and changing some of the SID's of the warthog but no luck, I couldn't find the one you were talking about, because there are quite a bit of SID's but some of them just don't seem to be it.

there is a tutorial around here that you might want to take a look at. It lets bipds hold any weapon and I'd imagine you can use the same process to let them drive in any vehicle.

that tutorial though has to do with a section in the weap tag meta area where you change the type of a gun to something that the bipd can use, there is nothing like that for the vehi tag and I do have updated plugins.

Theres a SID in teh [vehi] tag in the seat section. It controls the jmad. Theres change the warthog_d to ghost_d

Use Insolence for this...

Open the warthog's vehi tag. make sure you are in dev mode. Underneath there, go to seats.

On the right side now, should be a dropdown box. Pick number 2. Underneath where you just picked 2. You should see the string id, warthog_d. That's saying that this seat is the warthog's driver seat. What you want to do now, is change that from warthog_d to ghost_d.

Now your odst's will be able to drive the warthog. Only slight problem being that he'll have the animation's of driving a ghost. You can do this with all other vehicles, just make sure when looking at the unknown's (dropdown box numbers) that you find the correct unknown for the driver seat. Example: Spectre's driver seat is unknown 0, not 2 like the warthog. it's also called spectre_d. From here, it should be self explanatory.

Edit* What Dark said, but my info is more in depth

I tried both ways that you guys listed, the one with entity and the one with insolence and nothing, the I still don't get the press x to drive warthog message, also it isn't 2 that is the driving seat for me it was 0, 2 is to board the drivers seat, I tried changing both but nothing.

Edit: I got the stationary turret and the warthog driver seat but for some reason, I can't get the passenger seat, there isn't any thing I can use where the passenger still has his gun out in the animation.
