Flood Juggernaut

Post by Mr.Cancer »

Well,a while ago i heard about the scrapped flood juggernaut.I managed to spawn it in campaign on the map it was supposed to be in(07b_forerunnership.map),it spawn ok but just one problem,how can i make them attack you?Because they just sit there doing nothing and thats pretty lame if you ask me.So anyone has any ideas on how to do this? :?

Easiest way - let's say you want to replace all brutes on the map with fully-functional flood juggernauts the way Bungie made them. Open the map in Entity or Insolence, go into the SCNR file, go to character palette, and find the entry for one of the brute characters. Just edit the dependency to the flood_juggernaut.char file, save+etc to xbox, play, and now there are Flood Juggernauts on the level that will attack you.

Though there are 2 glitches with them - their attack misses you most of the time so it does no damage (but when they do hit you, you'll know it), and there is no death animation, so they'll just stand still and lose collision when they're dead.

Something really cool about them - sometimes they'll run and jump towards you - if you're touching the ground near where they land, you get stunned for a moment.

Yeah, I'm trying to make them explode upon death, fixing the death animation problem, but I've had no luck so far.

hmm, I found it easier to open a map in dothalo, swapping the elite flood dependancies with that of the juggernaut, and kept the elite flood ai, gave me working juggernaut flood in no time. btw, I think it is cool when they sometimes go after you, miss, go over an edge, and pull themsleves back up :)

If you use my way, the flood juggernaut has the correct amount of health. But if you spawn a juggernaut through the elite flood CHAR file, then it'll have as much health as an elite flood.

Once you have your Flood Juggernaut in your map and working properly, if you want to make it explode upon death (much better than a lifeless biped just standing there) here's how:

Using Entity:

1. Build some sort of fusion core into your map (If your map doesn't originally have any).

2. Open the fusion core's [hlmt] tag.

3. Right click on the dependancies window and select the chunk cloner.

4. Select the "Health/Shields" reflexive and press "copy to clipboard".

5. Open the Flood Juggernaut's [hlmt] tag.

6. Once again, open the "chunk cloner" and select the "Health/Shields" reflexive.

7. Press "Overwrite selected reflex/chunk"

8. Open the Flood Juggernaut's [hlmt] in Entity's "Meta Editor" and adjust the "Health/Shields" reflexive to your liking.

Now when you kill the Flood Juggernaut, he will explode using the explosion effect of the fusion core that you built into your map. You can now edit the fusion cores explosion [effe] to give your Flood Juggernaut a cool explosive death. ;)

I hope that helps

I've tried that already using a fusion core from headlong, a fusion coil from lockout and a flood biped. Nothing has worked so far for me. I'm copying the Health/Shields reflexive and adding to it. I also tried using the reflexive inside that (hard_metal_hum or something) and adding it to the Health/Shields refelxive. I'm gonna try again tonight doing some other stuff.

You don't add to it, you overwrite it.

Characters, wont have AI if you just spawn them out of a weapon. They have to be spawned the same way every other AI is spawned.
