Adjusting the spray of projectiles in Entity..

Apothem · Post by **Apothem** » Thu May 31, 2007 7:10 pm

I'm trying to make a rocket launcher shoot in bursts and have a bit of a spray (sorta like the smg spray except with 4 shots per burst). The problem is i can't find the meta tag to modify this spread. Where is it in entity, or do I need to use a different editor like dothalo or something else?

I would suggest using dothalo, but that's just me.

yeah, I found it in dothalo. The problem is that it hosed my map when I changed the value on the rocket launcher.

you'll have to explain a lil more (value)? which one, the spread or ?

Max/min spread.

get the Max/min spread from the SMG, just write it down and past it into the Max/min for the rocket

oh ok, well if thats all you messed with through out the entire map, then i have no clue. I have never had that problem messing with the spread radius. Any body else

yeah, I found the spread numbers in dothalo and compared them to what all the values look like in entity and found it in entity. Thanks for your help tho. I'm having another problem trying to find something else tho... Health and shields for mc and elite... I thought it was under biped but I appear to be way off. So where is it?

try looking under the bloc tag or in the scen tag, i think thats where you'll find it, if not sorry it's been a while since i've modded anything that deals with h2

bloc has got all the debris crap from destroying vehicles etc, and scen is scenery stuff, any other ideas?

Why don't you just use H2X or DotHalo (as somebody already said)

Apothem · Post by **Apothem** » Mon Jun 04, 2007 3:28 pm

because I've had a much easier time working with entity. Besides, isn't it in the same spot no matter what editor you have?

Look, I'm not trying to be a jackass, but how could entity be easier than Dothalo for editing something as simple as spread? Just open dothalo, click your weapon, and go to the bottom of the tag editor, and there you go.

But if you're in entity, try clicking on the weapon, and look for 'meta editor' or something along those lines, I haven't used it in over a year.

I found it. It's labeled differently in entity as Error min/max on entity. Master cheif health and sheild values I found in object props (hlmt) same goes for vehicles. If it is too much to ask, could I get a link or perhaps some directions as far as what to search for in the downloads section for finding download links for things such as Dothalo?

DotHalo is in the halo 2 xbox utilities section.
