theyre called "machs" go to the "mach" tag in any halo 2 campaign map in insolence and drag and drop one into, oh lets say headlong.map (i heard they spawn better there) then swap it's dependencies with an itmc (easiest way) and resign ftp and check and see if it has collision, if it doesnt there are ways of making it have collision but i think you should take it one step at a time, let me know how it works out.

[da dude of halo2]

I r a lurner from teh eyez! LOL!


Just playin'.

[da dude of halo2]

it worked but there was no collition and I could just walk wright though it.
how do i fix this.?

Also they just spawn on the ground I want them to hold in place while in the air can anyone tell me about some of how to do this. Please!

[r0tten]

use dark matter to place them.

[da dude of halo2]

I dont know what you mean I have darkmatter but how do I place them.?

[r0tten]

>open darkmatter

>select the map you would like to place items with

>go to the sbsp tag and select it, there should be a small ammount of loading

>hit the "raw data editor" button and wait, there should be a minute or two of loading

then follow the directions you will find here: www.halokit.com there are directions on the controls for darkmatter in the "halo 2 discussion" forum.

good luck.

[da dude of halo2]

one the link doesnt work and the site is down also. I dont have a raw editor its the orginal darkmatter.

Edit: I seem to have found it but I dont know any of the object moving controls and I dont know how to move it.?

Here's a pic of it:. Sorry Ill upload it altough u do have a point but still the link does not work it says the site is down.:

[MrBalll]

The link works. Also since you do have the old version you should still be able to just click the sbsp tag and it will still work, or at least mine worked that way.

[da dude of halo2]

ok I went to the site its fine now but Ive moved the object to where I wanr but the only problem is that it has no collition I can just walk right though it. Ive replaced it with the rocket launcher ammo.
2 other things. 1. the camera: every time I try to move the camera it goes to the same spot. I cant get it to start from the spot I am on. and 2.well there is no other 2 so can you help me out again.

[da dude of halo2]

any? one?

[r0tten]

stop double posting cause you dont get your answer fast enough. it makes people not want to help you at all!

go to www.halokit.com and sign up for the forum if you havent already (it's free) then go to the halo 2 tutorials section and there is a fantastic one in there for using the dark matter controls. good luck.

oh btw the camera is really screwy in DM you just have to get used to it.

[da dude of halo2]

ok thanks for the control advice the only problem I am Complaing is that While im in a banshe the object is not solid. I even went to the site for collition help no go.

I am complaing about there is no collition how do I get collition>?

thats what I am talking about.
