AI active camo?

[fuzzman]

does anyone know how you apply active camo to say, an AI elite? ive tried things such as swapping all of the shaders in the elites model to the corresponding active camo shader. ive also tried swapping the modified shader[0] in the elites [bipd] tag to the active camo shader. the point is ive tried evrything i kno and i still can't get it to work. can someone please give me some pointers?

[grimdoomer]

its probally a premulation although i dont know wich.

*Permutation. It might be; look in one of the SP maps that have invisible elites.

[DarkShallFall]

in delta halo theres the invisable elites that spawn by the skull look at there settings, It may be the virtually blind bitmask.

If your map has script, then you just need to know the name of your ai squad and then compile this script:

Code: Select all

(script static camo
  (begin 
   (ai_set_active_camo name_of_your_ai_elite True)
  )
)

  )

well that sounded like it was going to work, but i tried it and had no success. =/

EDIT: i got it to work, thanks guys

If I ever see you using a begin statement as the first expression in your scripts again, I'm going to go candlejack on your ass bit-

Try compiling one without begins in Script tools....

Try compiling one without begins in Script tools....

try compiling one without a starting begin statement in sapien...

When i script i always use begin, and it always work and that's how bungie does on halo 2.

Also i forgot to change the script type, change static to startup.


Test this:

Code: Select all

(script startup camo
  (begin
   (ai_set_active_camo name_of_your_ai_elite True)
  )
) 

Dont forget to replace "name_of_your_ai_elite" by you know what.

hey. im a MAJOR noob when it comes to ai scripting.

1) im guessing "name_of_your_ai_elite" gets replaced with the squad name =P

2) do u select it in the same spot u do for respawn scripts

3) do u have any ideas how i could get them to respawn and have active camo?

[neodos]

1) yes

2) yes in the meta editor scnr, AI Squads name.

3) spawning ai,there are many tutorials about it(ex: Shadowz_O_Death Ai in MP),
making them invisible i just gave you the solution

[NotZachary82]

i mean like a script that combines them both, so that they respawn and have active camo

[neodos]

Ok let's say that you want to spawn the ai squad later after loading the map and that they'll have camo btw.

You'll need to setup on the meta editor, scnr, on your squad so it doesn't spawn at start, the script will spawn em after 300(halo 2 times)

Code: Select all

(script startup ai_spawn_camo
  (begin
   (sleep 300)
   (ai_place squadname)
   (ai_set_active_camo squadname True)
  )
)

No, thats NOT what bungie does. They haven't started ANY of their scripts with a begin in Halo, Halo 2, NOR Halo 3. Someone just didn't understand the whole idea to the scripting runtime which caused this whole begin statement crap to contaminate the modding scene, once again...

yes. you would never see those in the original source code, they are added automatically.

[neodos]

Ok, thank good too know, so i don't need to use the (begin on my scripts :p

[kornman00]

added automatically in the official tools. IDK about any of the stuff other people have made that are floating around...
