Hi, this is a first for me so please be gentle if I screwed something up. What I'm trying to do is as follows: To make a gametype similar to rocket race but slightly different. The gametype is called Warthog Derby. My friends and I came up with it during Halo: CE. In the original it involved 2 people each in warthogs trying to flip the other's hog and then run them over. This worked well with CE's over the top physics, however, from H2 moving forward it didn't really work that well. What I would like to do is set it up so that Teams of 2 would each get a hog (probably a Gauss hog) and would drive around trying to flip enemy hogs with the Gauss gun or rockets. While you're in the hog you're invulnerable but once knocked out you can be killed. Rocket race has all the elements I need but I need to know the following things to make this work: 1) How do I spawn a Hog for each team? 2) How do I make the team members and vehicle invulnerable while the hog is occupied but vulnerable while they are not. 3)Once killed, how do I make the team spawn inside their team's hog? If someone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome. I've already asked on the Bungie forums and turned up bub-kiss. The link to the B.net forum thread is Bungie.net : Halo: Reach Forum : How did Bungie Make the Rocket Race Gametype? that you know what has been suggested/discussed already. Thanks in advance!
1. There should be a setting to change the vehicle type. I know there is in the race variants but Im not sure about Rocket Race. 2 and 3. Should already happen if you don't edit too much of the gametype and stuff it up.
In all gametypes (I believe it's all, if not, then most) under weapons and vehicles you can set vehicles to invulnerable. In this game vehicles act as a decent sponge for damage too. It's much harder to kill (usually, some circumstances where it's the same) someone inside an invulnerable vehicle than a destroyable one.
I double checked the gametype options and found that there is an option for vehicles on the map however, it is set to none for rocket race. Meaning that they have hard coded a gametype that only can use the mongoose. This is a shame but If you guys have an idea on how to create the Warthog derby game I'm open to suggestions. Here are the rules: 1) Each team gets a hog. 2) While in the Hog the members and the hog are nearly if not completely invulnerable. 3) Once the members a flipped out of the hog they become vulnerable and can be killed. 4) First team to X kills wins. I'm pretty sure I can implement this with hills but I'm not sure how so I default to this forum's expertise.
