Hello Readers,

I need help with my machinima.
I want to make a series but the problem is i only have 1 computer meaning there is only me!
But there is scenes with more than one person.
By The way Im Using Halo Custom Edition For The First Season.

IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN HAVE MORE THAN ONE CHARACTER IN THE MOVIE USING JUST ONE PC????????

Im thinking bump possessin + gun that shoots out bipeds.

I'm thinking AI bots running Command Lists.

What about multiplayer?

Guyz I don't want the hastle of getting all the people over the net together like every 4 weeks to start a scene i need it to be there so when i want to film it's all ready to film.

That way ill be finishing episodes in like a week or two.

modding the map you are fliming on and adding AI and scripts then running the flim with the AI pretending that hes a player.

Black doom,

How do i do that scripting thing??

Got any tutorials? if so please share with me.

I don't think you will master scripting in a week or two. I'll suggest....
I'm about to suggest a way that doesn't involve HEK so uh.... yay?
Get lethargy http://modtools.nemasket.com/lethargy.html
Open it up. Go to bipeds/cyborg_mp
Copy the meta code.
Go to projectiles.
If say, the pistol to fire out master chiefs then paste the meta code over the pistol projectile.
Exit lethargy.
At the halo ce shortcut properties, add -console to the path.
Download halo Alldev (Unless you want to add -devmode to your shortcut which will disable internet multiplayer but you still can play on lan)
In you map, get the pistol and shoot, it should fire out a masterchief.
Spawn as many masterchiefs as you want.
Then, press the tilde key(~), the console should come out.(If it doesn't that means you haven't enabled console).
In the console type "cheat_bump_possession" without the quotes.
Then, simply bump any masterchief you would like to gain control of it.
If you would like to change its colour, changing your colour in slayer should work in theory.

jacknme this bump possesion thing.........................

Does that mean i controll both the used "mastercheif" and my spawned character?

No. You control the character you bumped.

Yeah but.... Thats what video editing software is for right?

No. How are you going to control a different character with that?

Sigh..... Just use AI and command lists. You can run scripts in devmode. First off, add the AI, set them to not initially created. Create command lists. Name both the AI encounters and command lists so you can refer to them later. Compile. Then, when you are ingame, make sure devmode is on, and type

(ai_place [ai encounter])

to place the AI. Replace [ai encounter] with the name of the AI encounter.
Then, type

(ai_command_list [ai encounter] [command list]

to make the AI run the command list. Replace [ai encounter] with the name of the AI encounter, and [command list] with the name of the command list. And use video editing to remove the purple text where you type in these commands.

Guyz sorry to be annoying but you see im new to this and i am wanting to know a lot about it before begining so i have one final question....................................



I DOWNLOAD A MAP FROM THE CE MAPS SECION CALLED H2 COAGLUATION MOVIE EDITION, AND ALL THE AI BIPEDS ARE ABOVE THE CLIFFS WHICH I DON'T WANT THEM TO BECAUSE OF MY SCENES IN THE MOVIE.
SO MY QUESTION IS HOW DO I MOVE THE BIPEDS FROM ABOVE THE CLIFFS TO WHERE I WANT THEM IN THE MAP?

FOR EXAMPLE. (AT THE BLUE BASE)

download hek+ and rip the map, open scenario in sapien and do what ever you want.

you need hek to do it.

Please refrain from using Red Text. It burns my eyes.

sorry Gamma,

What is the web address or page on halomaps for Hek + ?

Is it so hard to type in "HEK Plus" into the search box?

http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=2289

Done. Results 1 - 1 of about 1 results. (4 seconds)

No it's not, I was just making sure i had the right thing beacuse you could of mean't hek the 200mb one that's all.

You need that as well.
