Does anyone have any insight as to what could be causing Crash To Desktops on PC w/ steam in a forge play test?
Too many concurrent events? To many operations attempted in a single tick? Accessing invalid/ already deleted objects?
Infinite recursion is a surefire way to crash the lobby, and there are other methods I am sure.
I've recently-ish been getting crash to desktops with a high frequency, and my attempts to prevent it aren't accomplishing much.
Any thoughts?

[fair helm]

making a post in #1075989764026675210 is a good idea for this; lots of folks in there are good at crash problems. if you've looked in event viewer it'd be useful to post your findings there too

@marsh flower
What does this mean?

[magic flower]

As part of matchmaking integration you would be required to document scripting for review.

[cyan scroll]

ok..
But how do you document the scripting?

They cant possibly expect a detailed brief of every node in the description of a map...

[zinc gull]

not sure myself but i guess they do need such a brief bc otherwise, secret stuff can be scripted into the map, stuff that could violate or whatever

[flint flicker]

"I have a script on player spawn that adds a specific weapon combo to a player's inventory if they are on Eagle team, and a different weapon combo if they are on Cobra".
Custom Event: AI_HeartBeat is a recursive event loop that checks every ai's health every frame, and if they are below 50%, it teleports them below the bottom of the map so that they die and don't drop grenades on the map or their dead bodies"

basically, I would wager they want to see What you are doing and Why.
If you exclude discussing the event: Troll campers,
which keeps track of a player's position and weapons, and if they spend too long in the same area with a sniper, it will just randomly kill them
they might not be happy

Or if you sneakily apply a trait that makes the leader take slightly more damage : ]

It would be really nice if we could self-document with a Comment Node, and leave a big description of how things work

[gleaming oriole]

yep just a description of what any script does in general. for example with high ground we have a script that open the main gate when you press a button. and another that displays an easter egg of craig.

[late glacier]

Looking for some experienced forgers who know how to get down on making a large scale map; raids. If so ; pls contact me for a server inv

[bold scaffold]

Try #lfg-forge

[copper roost]

I'm thinking about started a mini campaign series on infinite as testing ground for future large scale mcc campaign mods meant to rival those similar to halo new covenant

im learning 3d animation next semester,and im gonna learnn mcc mod tools after

[solemn zenith]

I mean, I think the best way if you’re gonna go that route is remake halo levels in Forge so you understand how they work, that’s what I’m doing

I’m currently making the level Regret from Halo 2 in MCC Reach Forge.

[zinc gull]

If u like u can learn blender. Blender can be translated into infinite forge and will probably remain useful for the next Halo too, maybe idk

I see people using it for Infinite now but I haven't done it myself im burnt

[true hamlet]

I just looked at Halo Infinite’s forge. Having been learning game design, I realised it’s like Unreal’s Blueprint system when you want to program things.

[civic ravine]

[fading geyser]

Trying to learn forge building is interesting

Cause I come from building and doing interior decorating in minecraft

That doesn't translate fully

I want to make a unique space map where you destroy phantoms and the banished ship engines and board and clear it out, only 2 ppl have done that and one was pvp and the other low quality

Prefabs help but I won't to make sure I also put effort into it

Using the campaign levels, other forge maps and my knowledge from minecraft to know how to best make it look good

I actually am finding the building aspect harder then the scripting aspect at the moment

I learned lighting helps a crazy ton

I was trying to make the Banished ship interior look good, using the first mission on infinite for visual advice I copied how they did the lights and it suddenly looked so much better

Then mixing banished pieces into the walls for detail to give the room depth

But I feel like I'm missing something and have more to learj

Learn

[zinc gull]

@fading geyser i made a banished blue door prefab, if you need a nice auto opening/closing door for your campaign
https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/ugc/prefabs/274cfceb-0550-458f-99c2-c1118db21aed

i chose blue bc it's based on that banished firefight map, that has some blue doors amongst the general red-ness. but u can edit door colors to anything you want

[fading geyser]

Thank you

[granite ivy]

Hey guys if I’m new to forging would Halo Infinite or Halo Reach be a good place to start?

[zinc gull]

id say start on Infinite, large learning curve but by the time you're experienced and more comfortable the knowledge will prob translate much better towards the next Halo game's forge

but idk up to u

imo both infinite and reach dont have significant custom game populations when it comes to new forge maps. so may as well get some forge xp that can help when the next game appears

bc maybe that game and its customs will be more popular, if it releases properly

[granite ivy]

Thank you for the input. As I get back into Halo I’m looking to learn the creative side. I’m a writer and grew up watching machinimas. Might be a new way to challenge myself in video games that isn’t comp

[zinc gull]

Creative side is definitely fun and addictive, I hope u enjoy it. I really like making campaign maps and learning scripting. Now just eagerly awaiting next game 😭

[granite ivy]

I'm not too big on learning the scripting part. I'm trying to build inspiration for set pieces and how I would want to take a story.

[zinc gull]

oh thats fine i wuz just sharing what kind of creative stuff i enjoy doing

[granite ivy]

Hey all the power to you man!

[cyan scroll]

This is driving me insane. How do I flip the team of an Intro line or intro arrow at round 2??

[hushed prism]

What do you mean? Like switching the starting spot for each team after each round?

[cyan scroll]

Yes. It keeps using the same intro line and intro arrow formations on Round 2. I want to flip spawns on Round 2 like in One Flag CTF.

[hushed prism]

You'll probably need a script for it as the intro cameras can't be set to that. If you're not familiar with scripting I can help it should be a pretty simple script for it. Add me if you'd like my gamertag is the same Shreddermcgenty

I'll be home in a little while if you want I can whip up a script for you and then I'll just publish it for you

[hushed prism]

I'll make it easy so you can just snap the intros into the place you want.

[cyan scroll]

Thank you, I Highly appreciate it!
However, I should warn you, these are not as simple to script as they first seem (I'm no expert scripter but these are hard dude).

They have two different settings, one is Team Designation, the other the usual Team. The former is the one that decides which team is shown there on intro sequence. And afaik it cannot be addressed with scripts.

It is also impossible to grab the intro formations as object references, which makes things more difficult. When you mark them and go to script it says "Cannot reference kit objects". So the only way to grab and refer to them is to put them in a prefab (afaik).

They also do not accept user labels like Alpha, Bravo, Charlie.

They also can't be set to despawn. And if you use scripts to move them away (World floor), or delete them, they will be auto-respawned at Round 2 start anyway.

[hushed prism]

Yeah I forgot we can't reference those still that sucks. However you can script normal respawns,so maybe make a set for the first round,second and so forth and have only those spawn in on each round. maybe make a set for initial spawns that delete after players spawn on them for the round start,then just use the normal ones for respawning. Just have each group of initial spawns set for each team and flip that set for the next round.

[cyan scroll]

Yeah that's pretty much where I'm at right now. I've resorted to not having intro lineups at all and just using initials. However What I do is switch the team of the initial spawns using labels (instead of deleting them like you said).
I could maybe use object refs but that'd be a very long list and there's no space in the corresponding script brain.

Hey I a ppreciate the response. Added you on discord for now (not logged on the xbox atm).

[hushed prism]

I'll ask around and see if anyone has a workaround that's feasible. The scripters guild may have something for it. Your welcome tho yeah the spawns can be tricky sometimes. If the intros could be scripted it would be a lot easier.

[cyan scroll]

Thank you

going to sleep now but will check back later

[warm dew]

Does anyone know if its possible to have a Zombie be invincible unless backsmacked by the LSS?

[flint flicker]

you can just make the zombies have high damage res, such that only a backsmack will 1-sk them

[warm dew]

Is there a way to set that up only once there is a LSS? In theory I don't want regular survivors to be able to kill the zombie

[latent panther]

how do you force a grenade dispenser to only give one type of grenade? under Statis Item Selection, I set it to Dynamo Grenade, and Static Selection to Enabled, but it's totally random what grenade it gives every time

[latent panther]

is it possible to have two weapons in a player's inventory such that one has infinite ammo, and the other doesn't?

[flint flicker]

On Weapon No Ammo -> check weapon type -> if it matches -> add ammo

[lone summit]

Do you mean, traits or just never run out ammo?

[latent panther]

I was using traits initially, but i suppose adding ammo back also works

Basically I wanted the base weapon that player start with to be unlimited ammo, but a legendary variant weapon to be limited ammo

[hushed prism]

Basically what @flint flicker said bc you can't set one weapon to have unlimited while another isn't in the game mode options,so scripting is your way to do it. I think we have a on weapon reload node. If we do that may work as well so there isn't any delay when you run out of ammo.

[latent panther]

is there any way to temporarily increase firing speed for a weapon (like the shotgun maybe)?

[flint flicker]

I don't think so. There's traits for reload speed but I didn't see one for Fire rate or firing speed

[latent panther]

unfortunate 😔

I would have liked to link a firing speed buff to using repulsor
I was imagining repulsor jumping, then having like a second of rapid firing

[flint flicker]

you can at least buff reload speed?
There's also weapon combinations that do weird stuff to fire rate

like a pulse carbine set to shoot convergence bulldog rounds might do a rapid-fire burst

but good luck making a seamless system to switch between a normal weapon (bulldog) give the player a combined version (that looks like a pulse carbine), and then restore the og bulldog.
Even if it works, it'll be pretty jank and very weapon specific

[latent panther]

wait that's so peak

[flint flicker]

don't take my word for it, that specific combo might not work

play aruond with Okom's weapon test range to quickly test the different combos

[pliant otter]

guys why doesnt my AI Spawner use the Nav Mesh i created

the AI only moves within the AI Spawner's boundary

[pliant otter]

is there a way to add classes like in reach and 4 to infinite custom games?

[zinc gull]

sort of, can script it various ways. like say a switch that gives player certain weapons/equip, or can mark somewhere to give certain weapons/equip. can specify what class it is via ui message or nav marker text

[pliant otter]

i see...

so i'd need some sort of pre-game lobby to equip them?

[pliant otter]

well i'll look into it later

for now im trying to add AI waves to a map

how can i do this?

scripting?

nvm the genius creator enabled map protection

thanks dude

[zinc gull]

yea you can have players spawn in an area, say a hangar or a base looking thing, they can choose a loadout then say go through a teleporter into the rest of the map. for learning out how youd need to create a topic in #1231006559539036233

also for ai wave help

when opening a help topic remember to try to be patient, bc it's all voluntary users sharing info or experience

[pliant otter]

i dont recall rushing anyone here

[zinc gull]

a little bit, ye 😁 . im just sayin help wont always be super quick

could b days

[pliant otter]

years even

[pliant otter]

btw

is there a mode that combines firefight and team slayer?

so PvPvE?

[zinc gull]

i cant think of an one. i remember seeing some custom forge maps that do that style, some peeps like pvpve. there must be some good ones around but idk

mayb thats something HS will add someday, sort of like the Reach mode

[pliant otter]

i see

[waxen wagon]

I know invasion is coming but isn’t that pvp

[pliant otter]

yes

[pliant otter]

you could always add AI waves to the map itself with scripting though right?

[zinc gull]

Yep

[pliant otter]

nice nice

noice 😼

[waxen wagon]

I made a dynamic drop pod spawn system that may be of use

[pliant otter]

dynamic how so?

[waxen wagon]

https://discord.com/channels/471722331820130324/1368431010710032477

Works on any map, just change the spawn height when adding to map, it uses any spawn points and will check if they nothing blocking them from the spawn height

Well dev maps are trickier since they do have weird coords

[pliant otter]

ic ic

thx

[waxen wagon]

No problemo

[pliant otter]

is there no way to display custom text with forge

[waxen wagon]

Custom text? Nope

[pliant otter]

[granite ivy]

Welcome to getting old buddy.

[waxen wagon]

[zinc gull]

It becomes a fun guessing game and old senility adds more difficulty

[white apex]

Is there a halo support channel? I deleted a version history of my map and it ended up deleting the entire map!

[thorny aspen]

…

[lone summit]

There's a mode prefab called grant custom weapon by okom, that has that logic, if you need help I can help

[lone summit]

They need a move zone to move outside of the spawner boundary, the nav mesh is just how AI know how to move and stuff

Or you can force them to follow an object

[pliant otter]

ya i saw

thx tho

[lone summit]

Though there is an exception

Brute berserkers don't exactly need one

Especially with magic sight on

[flint flicker]

berserkers will not oblige move zone boundaries and will run after targets outside of them

[lone summit]

They don't need one in general either, they will chase players they detect, insane, lol

It's why I say "friendship ended with flood, new friendship is with the brute berserkers"

They are so much more zombie like lol

[flint flicker]

Every Spawner IS a move zone

spawner boundaries are the "move zone" boundaries, and if the AI lose their Follow Object, they'll revert back to their previous Move Zone (which might be their spawner area)

[pliant otter]

im making a PvPvE custom 😊

[cyan scroll]

you know invasion is coming?

[zinc gull]

I think bc they are requesting Invasion maps

[waxen wagon]

Everybody should if they checked waypoint

[cyan scroll]

fair enough

I just thought you had something like an official statement

or inside knowledge

[waxen wagon]

I would share an image of the waypoint article but not images here

[cyan scroll]

You mean the one they asked for "inpired invasion maps" at the very bottom

[waxen wagon]

Ye, then there is also the due date one

[cyan scroll]

due date?

oh yeah now that you mention it. June?

[waxen wagon]

Yes

[cyan scroll]

I feel like there should be a contest like SnD

[waxen wagon]

True

[cyan scroll]

Right now all the most talented forgers are all hunched over their perfect SnD maps and can pay no attention to this invasion due date. Need some more prestige and preferably money prizes.

That'd make them a ton of invasion maps.

But they'd have to actually release the mode. And objective items

[waxen wagon]

Yeah

[stark estuary]

Do they have any plans to allow Brutes to be equipped with the Mutilator? Really dissapointed they can't.

[waxen wagon]

They can hold them but not fire, hopefully they do allow them to use them

[cyan scroll]

In the most recent patch notes, they mentioned that they've allowed AI to carry/use more turrets. So there is a sliver of "hope" that you'll get what you want.
However, careful what you ask for....

[white apex]

lol watch it be the next boss they add is atriox with the mutilator

[true rain]

Any Tips for noobs? Specifically making recreation of past maps and trying to get the dimensions fairly similar?

[lone summit]

Could you link them?

I didn't see them in the patch notes on waypoint

They didn't mention "prevent equipment use" either

[indigo epoch]

I still want grunt mule and give any weapon to AI without having to script them

[indigo epoch]

I just tested it, and they do use the other turrets now...well, they didn't shoot the scrap cannon, but ooh well

[lone summit]

What do you mean by not having to script them, though? Also it's pretty simple, even if you're trying to give them weapons you normally can't give them, like the brute berserker fists(yes that's a weapon, any brute can use it, except turret guys)

If you make it a mode prefab you can do it in any map

[indigo epoch]

What I mean is, for example, when I want to give a brute a sentinel bean I have to script because the weapon is not in their drop-down menu, or give them an upgraded upgrade version of the weapon I wish that was in their menu

[lone summit]

Oh, you know how to do it, you just want an easier way

[indigo epoch]

yes

[lone summit]

Ah, sorry, yeah sucks that most things have to be done with scripting, and even scripting can be limited

[indigo epoch]

yeah i just feel like i'm wasting scripting on that lol plus it is convenient

[flint flicker]

yep

see the Multiplayer category of resolved issues.

Or ctrl+F search it.

idk if the "Prevent equipment use" was directed for me

[cyan scroll]

TLDR; there is a method that applies Blender to create Map files and uses some kind of plugin that puts down the forge objects inside Forge. I don't know any more, look for work by Okom and Cpt. Punch.
Also consider making actual new maps because legacy maps usually need to be scaled to fit the movement speed and mobility of Infinite.

[zinc gull]

nice i like the AI turret fixing, can remove some scripts i guess

mayb they shoot the scrap now

[cyan scroll]

someone said they dont
#forge-chat message

idk, needs testing

[zinc gull]

Well it seems the same then lol before u could just script units to enter plasma (can shoot) or scrap. They didn't shoot scrap earlier just sat in it

[indigo epoch]

Yeah, but now it's nice. We don't have to waste scripting to force AI on the plasma turret.

[zinc gull]

That's good

[cyan scroll]

I see. I assume the human machine gun is in the category with Plasma then

[zinc gull]

they mustve fixed the plasma one bc they wanted to use in that one new pve map. those r pretty fun

[lone summit]

Oh it's under multiplayer, weird

[dusky bridge]

halo 5 forge ?

[high orbit]

does anyone know how to add bots with good movement but that dont shoot back?

[granite ivy]

Are you asking for Halo Infinite or MCC?

[high orbit]

infinite

[cyan scroll]

You can just add a bot and apply the trait Prevent weapon firing to that bot if you can do a little bit of scripting. I think there is also a training mode where you can turn weapon firing off.

[main oak]

Does anyone remember Halo: Custom Edition on pc?

Maps like Yoyorast Island, BC Raceway, Coldsnap, Hugeass, Metroid Maridia

Those were the days lol

[granite ivy]

Ok here’s a question: How difficult would it be to make a BTB or Squad Battle map with destructible environments in it?

[zinc gull]

what sort?

[waxen wagon]

Would need a lot of objects and scripting

[granite ivy]

Like bridges take enough damage and they shatter or despawn and respawn after a while

@zinc gull like objects taking enough damage and then they shatter or despawn.

[waxen wagon]

Possible, forerunner light bridge may make it simpler

[zinc gull]

yeah i suppose it can be done, depending on your bridge will need lots of dynamic objects, prob will need a several object lists too. try putting it together and see if its too demanding or runs fine

[granite ivy]

Ok. It’s all ideas that amount to nothing. I feel like destructible environments can be a cool idea in Halo to add a new dynamic to a multiplayer game

[waxen wagon]

Well, good thing we have set object physics, so you script if an object gets damaged enough it can fall

[flint flicker]

the biggest barrier to this is that:
Only some objects have a Health value.
there are all Destructible objects.
If you want to make Big Things that "look like they break",
tracking how much damage they actually take is going to be HARD.
You can put any dynamic object into:
On object damaged, and detect when it takes SOME damage.
But if it is a grenade or an AR bullet, it will still show 0 as the Damage Amount

There's some jank you can do by looking up what weapon the Damaging Player has currently equipped, but you could do somemthing like:
shoot a plasma pistol at the bridge from afar, switch to your rocket launcher, and it will think "I just got hit with rockets"

You can do stuff like:
Using Fusion Coils as the trigger.
When those get destroyed, go ahead and blow up the rest of the Building.

or "blow up the fusion coil 3 times" if one is too weak.

One problem with those is that you can just... shoot them long range with weak weapons and then now your whole building falls down!?

==================
Consider trying to remake Halo CE's ending level The Maw;
You HAVE to destroy the fusion reactor with grenades or rockets. You CANNOT shoot it.

We COULD make a similar system in Infinite by putting an area monitor, and:
On object entered area -> (do some test to see if it is a grenade or rocket) -> if true -> clone object. put the cloned object in a box that has some fusion coils. If the fusion coils get destroyed, you know someone hit your Area with an Explosive weapon.

Only problem is we cannot detect every type of explosive in area monitors; tank and wraith rounds, cinder shot, and probably other's do not trigger.

(the test for if obj == rocket or grenade is to check Get Object Health and Get Object Shield, Get Object Velocity can also help sometimes)

[unborn dome]

you could have a projectile blocker covering the maw reactors and only delete and respawn on grenade throw or if the ammo count goes down

[river oak]

Blockers can’t be referenced if I remember correctly

Dynamic Glass panes would work, however

[zinc gull]

i remember script deleting blockers is that what u mean?

[flint flicker]

Or just hiding a fusion coil around a bit of cover so that there's no direct line-of-sight on the actual fusion coils, and only Area damage can hit them. That is going to be more elaborate of a setup that might not work everywhere

I've tested the :
on obj entered area -> check if (explosive )-> clone into a replica of the room with the same relative position and velocity.
I was trying to make destructible doors with this approach and it works well enough

[viral lake]

Wait you can make maps in this mode editor?

[waxen wagon]

Seems so, but I only heard rumors of such possibilities. Most have gone insane trying, but the few who completed their maps, were able to ascend pass the limitations of forge itself, and get like 400 error messages in a second because they tried to make an elevator.

does anyone know if you can make extraction zones spawn with scripting?

[zinc gull]

i havent tried myself but probably cuz there is an extraction zone object in Gameplay Game Modes. im not sure how to test it in forge play mode though someone must know more than me. would be cool to use id like to learn as well

[grim idol]

For some reason extraction zones and scripting just doesn’t work

[waxen wagon]

I can confirm, its a pain, they really need to add generic extraction objects

Extremely difficult to know if unironic at this point.

Looks great! One of the few with the balls to make some open areas and not just the default "3lane" CS corridor-system. 😅

idk how to navigate on the Musk platform but there's tons of pictures on the forgehub website

That was the goal to be honest. Finding the perfect balance between the layout and the One life per round mode was truly interesting

It still feels like Halo

[cyan scroll]

I can attest to that. And it's got that Halo 3 vibe that the doctor ordered.

[dusky leaf]

God. I looked at my halo 5 maps I made on forge back in like 2017-2018. I don't know what I was doing

[proven adder]

Anyone have any beginner tips on making maps on Forge?

I'm new here.

[waxen wagon]

Blockout first

Start with simple shapes to get the layout down

[proven adder]

Mmm ok.

[warm fiber]

For sure

[proven adder]

Y'all feeling like if I should go PvP or PvE?

[gleaming oriole]

I always say do an octagon/1v1 first. It is smaller in scope and playable and you can use it to learn the controls, etc. while also being able to finish and publish and learn about that which is important. The process of seeing something through to the end. Best way to ensure that is to stack the odds in your favour early on with a smaller project you can finish and go bigger from there.

https://x.com/Frenchyssss/status/1743319286997786847?t=h50G3OxduTluMKuzTfAyDg&s=19

[zinc gull]

Def follow green method he's very good. I went directly to pve cuz I only wanted to make campaigns only and lots of scripting. So my earlier maps are rougher, generally worse terrain and stuff. Too much flat ground etc

[proven adder]

So green has the Forger role? How do I get it? Do I need to showcase a map, or is it only for those who really know how to forge maps in Halo, like green?

[grim idol]

Forgers who have maps or modes in matchmaking get it

[proven adder]

Guess i'll just start doing it then. Wanna be a new Forger emerging from the series.

[grim idol]

It’s a pretty satisfying hobby. Solo game dev means you have to do a lot of upfront work before seeing results but with forge the base game is already built so you can see results pretty quick. Just start small and keep trying new things and you will be able to make full scales maps and modes in no time

[dense trench]

I don't have it with 4 maps in

[grim idol]

It was opt in so I’m sure there are other that don’t have it too

[proven adder]

Yep, you did. Gruntland will be FULL of Grunts. A PvP map where it's just a basic PvP experience... except it's not. 🙂

Grunts will be constantly spawning and others must survive getting murdered by them before other players do so as well.

[waxen wagon]

[warm dew]

There's also a custom game that lets you view maps in forge without saving them. Pretty helpful to learn how someone else might have achieved something you're interested in.

[proven adder]

Ahhhhhhh

[warm dew]

Plus, this community and the r/forge reddit is usually very helpful and nice to work with

[latent wing]

How do you get firefight classic working in forge?

[proven adder]

To get the firefight classic working in forge, you need at least 1 AI spawner (must be set to be triggered by script and the label must be known as a Firefight spawner), 1 equipment dispenser, and 1 weapon pad in your map.

Looked up a video for this for Firefight KOTH, and I learned it on my own with the classic version of Firefight.

And then go to a custom game and select Firefight Classic. Then go to the mode settings and look for Firefight. Then configure the waves to however you like. 🙂

Hope it helps. Tried my best to explain all this based on my knowledge gathered by other people.

[latent wing]

Yeah i did the same I appreciate it man i just need the capture point that ends the game

[proven adder]

I see.

If you're planning for KOTH type of Firefight, go for it. 😄

[latent wing]

Not really im burnt on that im talking about in the classic mode once you complete the bonus round there’s a capture point that ends the game

[proven adder]

Ahhhhh

Now I understand your vision. 😎

[latent wing]

[latent wing]

Are the marines able to use the scrap cannon turret?

[zinc gull]

ive tried a couple ways, after recent update, u can force them to enter it but they wont fire

[latent wing]

I see thanks i was confused

[zinc gull]

yea the only thing that has changed is u dont need to script force units to enter and fire the plasma cannon now, if u place a move zone on plaz they will enter and fire. doesnt work for scrap cannon yet

[latent wing]

Thats nice hopefully next update it works with the scrap turret

[grim idol]

The evac zone is not necessary for firefight classic to work. For custom games id omit it completely

[grim idol]

To get firefight classic working you need at least 5 spawners of group index 1-5.

If you set up firefight koth then your map will work for firefight classic

[latent wing]

I see I would still like to have it incase people want to end the game quicker

anything i need to do with the code to get a firefight classic map up and running?

i got a map layout down i just needa know how the scripting works so i can actually turn it into a firefight map

[grim idol]

No scripting needed. Just need to set up all the game-mode objects. This page goes over how to set up firefight KoTH for your map. Firefight classic needs the same setup minus the hills: https://wiki.thescriptersguild.com/forge/modes/firefight/firefight-koth

[small ingot]

Thank you so much. Really appreciate it.

[proven adder]

Ha! Genius way of saying Halo is NOT dead. 🤣

[proven adder]

If that's how Firefight KOTH works for making our own KOTH maps with Firefight, what about Firefight Custom?

[grim idol]

Firefight custom is a template for modes similar to minigame but with some of the logic from firefight attached. It is the base mode I used when making Firefight: Classic

[small ingot]

i've placed my spawners and nothing's spawning. am i doing something wrong? i have the firefight classic mode prefab in my map

[zinc gull]

did u generate nav mesh. be sure to place nav seeds prior to generation on your map

[small ingot]

ye

[zinc gull]

Did u assign the proper labels?

[proven adder]

Ahhhhhhh

[grim idol]

The labels for the ai spawners need to be set up as Firefight Spawner. Other than that group index 1-5.

Subgroup 1 is bugged out so you will have to toggle it off then back on.

Another weird thing with firefight is there needs to be at least 1 weapon spawner and at least 1 equipment spawner. iirc a grenade spawner is not needed but you can place one to make sure.

The spawner should also be set to triggered by script

question. if i'm setting up firefight classic, wouldn't i only need groups 1-4 for my spawners(3 waves, 1 bonus round)

[sage gale]

Hey, guys. I have some (probably stupid) questions about Forge.

1. Can you edit and swap weapons on a Forge map someone made? Ex. Uneeq makes a cool map, but I just want to swap the BR for where he placed a DMR. Nothing crazy just a basic weapon or equipment swap for variety.

2. How do I know which map to bookmark if here are copies? Ex. Uneeq makes a remake of Lockout, HS takes it for match making and now has their edition too. Which one is best to save? A note: HS copies seem to be played more, but rated lower...why is that?

Answers are appreciated. Thank you.

[unborn dome]

If a map doesn't have copy protection you can make a copy then edit and save that copy.

HS copy will be the one in matchmaking so its play count/bookmarks/ratings will be boosted compared to the original. So it's easier to have 50 good ratings compared to 500 good ratings

The matchmaking version is usually the best to save.

[sage gale]

Thank you. If they are copy protected there is no way to switch anything, even minor stuff, then? Dang. That should be addressed one day. I get not wanting work stolen, but everything is credited and not being able to just switch weapons is crazy.

When you bookmark a map, any changes that the editor makes refreshes, right? There's no need to keep adding new editions. I have a lot of great maps, just the UI to juggle all of them is kinda terrible already, repeats make it worse.

[unborn dome]

yeah if the map is bookmarked and the owner updates it will automatically change

[small ingot]

how do i set up a miltiplayer map

that includes modes slayer, ctf, oddball etc.

[flint flicker]

In Halo CE, you could use custom game settings to change what weapons spawned on the map from various pre-sets. So you could make every weapon a rocketlauncher, or shotgun, or reduce it to close-quarter weapons only.

But we have a lot more weapon spawning mechanisms in Infinite, from weapon racks, native weapon spawns, drop-pods.

blanket replacing every weapon with a single type would be "easy" to set up but also pretty worthless since we have better control of everyone's spawning weapons in modern custom game settings.

It would be awesome to have such presets like:
"Make everything banished/ forerunner/ unsc weapons",
and map a given weapon spawn to a different one based on their class (snipers are: s7, shock rifle, stalker, skewer).
or make everything heavy, so only launchers, rockets, melee, snipers on the map;
or make everything light, so none of those.
You can see how making the decision for what to replace and when would be super hard to blanket apply to everything in the map, without completely breaking whatever balance the map had.

Something that WOULD be neat in the custom settings is:
specifying which of the two spawn options the weapon racks would pick, at the level of picking between each possible pair.

This entire rant is to say that: adjusting weapon spawns on the map really is better suited for Forge, even if it means making a whole copy of the map, and copy protections break that.

[signal cedar]

Hey is it just me or is scripting janky? I could be very wrong here, however some of the scripts i try to wip up seem self explanatory and i double check my work (with AI - dont judge lol it actually tells me what im doing should be working) - for example - im working on a deathless zone/area - one would think its simple If Player Enters Zone - Set Player Trait - and then reverse that for upon exit as well....so is it just meeee or....

• I have tried multiple zones/boundaries and added the reference to the script...
• unsure if theres a tut i should be watching...
• I've created a trait set and set the identifiers to 1 to correspond if thats even what thats for...idk lol

Lets gooo can't wait

[hollow silo]

I have an idea for forge AI in halo infinite. Don't know where else to put it

We can't spawn normal sentinels in forge because they fly and currently there is no nav mesh mapping for flying AI. Hence the issues with AI flying the banshee.

What if we could assign a boundary box or radius to generate nav information for flying vehicles, and then that generates Aerial nav information? Then you could assign move zones for them to fly to within that mesh. This would make it so that you would only have to generate specific nav zones in the air and save a lot of generation time for the map.

Now I'm not familiar with how the generation for flying AI works in the campaign, but I truly believe this is worth looking in to, and I as well as many others would make incredible use of that as a feature

Anyways, thanks for reading

[waxen wagon]

No problemo

[zinc gull]

Do u mean HS adding such a feature? If so it will never happen. Maybe next game. But right now u can do certain things to make ai banshees sort of reliable, not perfect

[hollow silo]

Yeah I'd like if they'd add it and I figure it's better to say something and try than to not say anything at all.

I've gotta learn all the AI banshee tricks, but I'm really hoping for sentinels to help make the campaign I'm building lol

We're gonna be playing infinite for a while. Something like that, that might even be relatively easy to implement (who knows) would excite a lot of people I think

[zinc gull]

i wish too but forge lord himself said theres no way they can do it for infinite

would be difficult, time and resource intensive, too much so he said

both to sentinels and air mesh

[hollow silo]

Oh he said that? Jeez I've been out of the loop I guess. I feel like they can do something to spice it up at least. And they've started adding weapons and stuff. Idk I want to hold out hope

Like maybe put some ODST armor on Marines and make them separate units. Just cosmetically. That would be super interesting. The more tools we have, the better

[zinc gull]

thats ok it wasnt really broadcasted info, forge lord was kind enough to hop in this discord one day and addressed it

it prob hasnt even reached the dreaded halo youtuber antenna

[waxen wagon]

I told some halo youtubers

Some of the machinima guys

[hollow silo]

That breaks me heart but hopefully they change pace or at least keep adding weapons lol

Thank you guys for being so kind though!

[waxen wagon]

No problemo

is machinima alive nowdays? i remember it during h1-h3 times

There is some machinima guys, which is the reason why I made machinima plus game mode for infinite

[safe oyster]

Hi, recently I've been messing around in the forge mode of Halo Infinite and I've got a question.

On the multiplayer map Fragmentation, there are two caches of power weapons on either side of the map, accessible if you hack a console.

When hacking these consoles, your selected personal AI (Lumu, Butlr, etc) appears on them. I was wonder if this was something you could do in Forge, and if so, how?

For clarification, I'm asking whether you can program/code for your personal AI to appear on an interactive console or smth. Is this possible, and if so, could someone explain how to do this? Thank you in advance.

[waxen wagon]

As far as I know, you cannot choose to display a player’s AI, I think the only possible way is to use a mode that uses AI plates, like king of the hill, strongholds, etc

[safe oyster]

Damn... that's a little disappointing to hear, but I thought as much after hours of searching through nodes without any luck.

[waxen wagon]

Yeah, hopefully they do give us such function soon

[vestal blade]

You can, I forget what category it's under but i saw it earlier today. It is it's own unique object. I'll see if i can find it when I get home.

[safe oyster]

Yeah I found the "get unique objects" node, but I have no clue what objects count as "unique" or where they are.

[waxen wagon]

Its for comparing two list

Well its like subtracting list

[safe oyster]

Ahh ok

[vestal blade]

@safe oyster Gameplay < Sandbox < Hacking Terminal

Its a physical object

[safe oyster]

Yeah, but it's activation doesn't display your personal AI

Is that a visual glitch, a skill issue or a non-existant feature?

[vestal blade]

Visual, I just tested it on Fragmentation. The A.I model Visual is bugged it just simply doesn't show.

Its supposed to without any scripting. You just place the object and Interact with it and it shows your A.I.

[waxen wagon]

[signal cedar]

no one warned me about ghost scripts being a thing....im so incredibly sad that a simple Generic Zone being added could mess up 8 other scripts all in one go. Then when I removed the generic zone...the scripts remained broken...so sad xD - i think this was the closest ive been to finishing a project this size (the project wasnt even supposed to be a map it was just me building assets lol just kinda turned into a whole ahh map lol)

• Be careful with your scripts people. Id suggest making them in a map that is NOT intended for use. Save the finished script. then load it onto your project. Less you get Ghost Script Artifacts that could ruin your ish. RIP my Gothic_Social_WIP 1.0 lol

(yes i could have reverted the save file, however my dummy self did not realize the script was corrupting the map until after I completed a lot of other buildings lol - now im too far gone and im just going to save everything as a prefab and re load it onto another canvas)

[civic ravine]

@hot sierra is this a known issue?

[waxen wagon]

He doesnt work on infinite anymore

[civic ravine]

Perhaps, but he can possibly pass the info along to the team and hopefully get a fix

[waxen wagon]

True

[signal cedar]

I only saw someone have the same issue 2 years ago on reddit and haven't seen anyone speak of it since tbh. - I managed to salvage the map in its entirety thankfully. - im hoping if the new halo has forge that unreal will give us a lot more power over our creations

[signal cedar]

Hey would you mind also sending me the link to the scripting guild please? - i saw your other convo and am very interested to give it a shot. Theres a lot i KNOW has to have been made and I'd love to see what people have come up with

[flint flicker]

just search "The scripting guild discord" and it shows up

they have their own website with a wiki style archive of forge data too

But yes, ghost brains / scripts are LONG known and reported about

thankfully they've never caused me issues so far

[hot sierra]

I brought it to the team's attention.

[signal cedar]

i mean or i can just politely ask the person that provided the link to someone else. but thanks ;D

[signal cedar]

and also cool to know. Ive never heard anyone speak about it until i recently came across it personally. Its awesome you haven't had that issue tho! ;D I hope that luck continues

[signal cedar]

the wiki is almost completely empty lol X_X

[stiff hawk]

Sharing discord links often gets automatically bopped on many discord links

and yeah, there's a lot that needs expanding on the wiki, but also one of the only repositories of forge information that there is. A lot of important stuff is filled in, like how to set FFKOTH

[signal cedar]

ok, but thats why we send DM's lmao

[urban lantern]

Sorry for the dumb question but is this a place to talk about mod? cuz I downloaded ultimate forge for Merch/Halo 2 and unsure what to do :harold:

[stiff hawk]

To play MCC mods, you have to launch MCC with anti-cheat disabled. Then you should be able to load Halo 2 campaign and it will give you options for which modded levels you want to play

[vale stag]

Why when I sent the infected loadout on Halo infinite to have grappleshot the game will still give them the smokescreen bubble thing? This is very annoying and their no YouTube video's explaining how to properly fix this

[fading geyser]

Hello
I almost got bot banshee working for fighting players

Can I have someone join me to experiment with me? I actually almost got it working

[fair finch]

[warm dew]

Only two things I can think of are to check which version of Infection you are using The one that says something like "mode type: forge" has caused a lot of problems for me in the past. I try to use one that says something like "mode type: variant." The other thing you could do if it was on a forge map, you can make a script that force gives them that equipment.

[vale stag]

It's so word cause all players (on infected and survivor teams) will spawn with the right weapons but not the right abilities.

[fading geyser]

Whats the least script heavy way to make the player touch console or reach spot to hack door open.

[stiff hawk]

On object interacted -> wait for n seconds -> delete object.
If you want them in that area:
On object interacted -> spawn object (generic zone obj ref)
(generic zone obj ref) -> On Generic zone captured -> delete object (door ref)

[fading geyser]

This sounds much easier (the capture zone) then the complex thing I had xd

[stiff hawk]

The question is:
Do you care about the players holding a hill uncontested? Or do you just want the button to start a sequence with the waves

You can easily do:
On obj interacted -> start sending waves -> when all waves are done -> open door

[fading geyser]

Check your xbox messages

But yeah basically I just want the 90 seconds to go

So its fine if its uncontested

When all waves done open door should work

Note to self:

• Replace hack sequence with help of Abe

• Replace the 2 hunters Done

• Add a new respawn for same room as hack

• Replace bugged phantom gunships

Or if anyone good at forge scripts, I need your help

I dont know if its a infinite bug but a specific script I have breaks my map for no reason on live (but not on forge)

[vale stag]

So after a few days of trying and restarting my Xbox and uninstall halo and reinstalling I was finally able to have the zombies get the grapple equipment as part of their loadout on the match settings but now the survivors have thrusters instead of sensors but its whatever the map with the gamemode incredibly fun and scary

Now im getting anew issue with a different map, im trying to script my custom equipment to replace the activating players loadout with the Elite Bloodblade and Mangler but im not getting anywhere and I cant find any tutorials on YT

[warm dew]

You could just give them that loadout on the start of the round and not have to worry about the custom equipment

[vale stag]

See youd think the game would listen to the match settings but it wont

Also I have to point out its a little upsetting theirs no Covenant Cover Full and I have to recolor the banished one to get one

[warm dew]

If you've tried that specific infection mode I spoke about earlier, I have put the link below to the exact gamemode I used to make my infection custom game work. You could try this one.

[vale stag]

Yes, I used the area zombies this time and basicallyconvertedto BTB zombies with zombies having grapple hooks and survivors have threat sensors (for some reason they have thrusters and even the scripting isnt working) , when I first inquired my issues it was with the alpha zombies mode. Thank you for sending the link

If you want to know what map im having these issues with aswell its called Pillars of Dispair. Creator; Shockstormswag (me) its still being worked on, I just have it published so I can see what players complain about it

[warm dew]

Also if you arent already doing this in your script, I think you need to remove whatever equipment they have on the start, and then give them the new one

Oh my... 🤦‍♂️

[hollow silo]

Does anyone know how they scripted the target locator that's found on some of the firefight maps? The projectiles seem to spawn without an AI to fire them which is what has my interest

[crisp smelt]

Yes @hollow silo

Add a script that spawn a projectile @hollow silo

[hollow silo]

How?

[zinc gull]

those scripts were created by Kwatzy. if u open a topic in #1231006559539036233 ill share some ways u can get it

an AI does fire them at start of match (off map hidden) and theyre captured and stored in some loop. And then trigger cloned above where the ball lands and redirected downward. it's a lot

[hollow silo]

I just found a version of the map and cracked open that script too. I can replicate it but I wanna try and understand it you know? I might throw that in there!

[zinc gull]

its fun to try other projectiles. his original one was with normal rockets for more powerful ordnance i think, so that may fit a harder campaign mission. sometimes the rocket hog ones just arent very useful. i tried using hunter projectiles, but not very reliable last time i tried. hunter is more stubborn and doesnt attack the capture area as reliably as a marine for some reason. and the hunter projectiles always have forward momentum for some reason unlike rockets, even when forced to change via scripts

[hollow silo]

Oddly enough, I tried a few and the rockets from the m41 were my first idea! The only issue with them has to be that they seem to detonate after too much time

And then the target locator effectively shoots air lol

[magic flower]

Yes the reason rocket hog projectiles are used is they work every time and are good enough.

Feel free to lift anything for this off gyrefight. The only reason it's not published as a prefab is that it's fragile enough that you really need to understand it well enough to take it off gyrefight to use it, and I'm not able to provide support

[hollow silo]

Thank you!!!

[glossy wing]

anyone know how to add the flashlights that attach to players?

[stiff hawk]

yes. You place a Light FX that is bound to a player via scripting, and every 0.0 seconds you move it to the player's position + an offset (to account for the difference in the player's camera and where their coordinates are centered).
Than you make it have the same rotation as the player.
Lining it up to the player's aiming vector is harder, but still doable.

IIRC you are going to be using Trigonometry for that.

Getting each player to have their own, having it be toggleable on and off, and handling players dying, respawning, joining, quitting, driving vehicles, etc are all going to need to be accounted for.

Have you tried looking for prefabs that do this already?

[inner bramble]

has anyone figured how to make the radial menu in script? it's so confusing

[inner bramble]

I give up. it's so damn complicated. I got a headache

[waxen wagon]

You need to use declare and gets from advance variables

[fading geyser]

make sure u got keybind for it too, bottom of keybind menu

[inner bramble]

radial menu doesn't use a keybind. you can interact with an object to open it. which is what i want to do. not make the script to open by pressing the custom keybind

Would be nice if this was an option, as it would give the Falcon the illusion of being piloted/flying in campaign scenarios where you have the players in the passenger seats with the vehicle being moved to predetermined points via scripting, much like the Falcon sections in Reach's Campaign.

On a similar note, I can't seem to find a way to get Marines to ride passenger in the Falcon either. I'm more inclined to think this is just a bug given that Bots are capable of doing so.

Not sure if these screenshot links will work, but I took a crack at making some lava :)

[warm dew]

Cool, thank you

[fading geyser]

Are they even able to use falcons?

What exactly is the issue your having? They dont enter or they enter but they exit right after?

[worldly lynx]

The main issue I'm having is that Bots, AI units and cloned players are seemingly incapable of being scripted into the driver seat of a Falcon, they just never get put in the seat at all. Even scripting it so that players/bots spawn in driving vehicles, it won't work if it's a Falcon (the only other vehicle from my testing that none of the three can be put into the driver seat is the Scorpion).

As for the other issue, passenger seats are rather inconsistent; cloned players can be put in through scripts and they'll stay, bots can get in but will sometimes shoot erratically and jump out at random, and AI units cant be put into any of the Falcons seats at all, neither through scripting or on their own like they would when you drive up to them in a hog for example.

[fading geyser]

My banshee attacks player script might help. I'll make it public in a bit

[worldly lynx]

Much appreciated! I'll check it out and see if fiddling with it helps :)

guys

how do i use the new halo infinite froge menu

[real torrent]

Matching pfps

[bold anchor]

Man I really wish forge in infinite had more tree options something like the acacia trees in halo 5 I know we can make them ourselves but it takes a lot of budget per tree and isn’t really practical on larger maps

[cursive glen]

Here is forge project. Out of bounds mongoose race track stunt obstacle course

You won't get banned if you extend the boundry

[vale stag]

Anyone have a Forest prefab?

[primal summit]

Did they Finish adding Sentinels to the Forge Campaign AI?

[zinc gull]

no it will never happen in Infinite

[timid thistle]

anyone know how to get a ai to attack after it gets into a banshee mine just keeps flying off the map and blowing up

[stiff hawk]

There's no easy way to do it, for the same reason we don't have Sentinels in forge.
AI in forge uses a Nav Mesh, which is a bunch of flat shapes drawn over the ground that allows the AI to calculate a path along those planes.

flying things need a 3d nav mesh, that fills a whole volume.
There's no good, easy way to calculate that in a fan made forge map.

Many have asked for a simple nav-volume cube that we could place and scale, to allow banshees to fly around in a pre-set boundary, but that's not very likely to happen.

[timid thistle]

i have see it done before in fan made forge maps lol

at least i think

lol im trying to make an endless unsc base defence

[timid thistle]

Any chance someone could help me figure out how to get bots in vehicles not ai but bots

[zinc gull]

script for that is in the banshee wave prefab, open script brain. Mostly just using Attempt to Enter Vehicle twice. bots don't like scorpions tho, will hop out quickly, prob requires more scripting to trick the bots into staying inside

smtimes they just hop out if no enemy to target as well

bots will stay in Wraiths, perform nicely

You can also do this method, from Okom:

you just give the vehicle forward velocity when a bot enters it. Vehicle velocity on driven vehicles still works on bots. I'm using a script like that on Death Derby #4 to make them drive vehicles and that map is the best example of bots driving vehicles convincingly I've ever seen
https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/ugc/maps/fac1e779-ba80-4677-b282-364eb24556ee

[zinc gull]

if bots are forced into cloned Warthogs they will fire their secondary weapon, then switch to primary, and fire while still driving. Coolest weapons are Skewer and Riven Mangler imo they fit a "Horn Attack" theme that warthogs have

[timid thistle]

Ok I i have nav points on my map but the bots won't go to them

[zinc gull]

create a post about bots we can discuss options there

There r a bunch of things to influence bots

[fading geyser]

omg my bot attacks player prefab mentioned xd

[zinc gull]

i wouldve linked ur prefab but couldnt find it, so i tossed one together

does anybody here know how to set up one bomb assault in forge?

I cant find the documentation anywhere; I tried dabbling a bit myself with the options, but Im missing something.

[hushed prism]

There should be some prefabs in the community tab.

[lofty sable]

@pure tinsel https://www.halowaypoint.com/ko/halo-infinite/ugc/prefabs/5c40c61a-d5ae-4ea5-b395-bf8a2ac826bc

[pure tinsel]

Isn’t there an official 343 method? They have the game type already, I’m just not sure what to place as far as objects go lol.

[lofty sable]

That's my script

I have created assault with bomb resets and timers aswell as zone based goals

Has round swapping aswell and nav markers

I used generic bomb and plates

The other ones don't work in editor mode and only work in custom games

[lofty sable]

As far as I'm aware no that's why I built that

[pure tinsel]

Oh my apologies haha, most excellence. I’ll give this a shot when I get back home!

While you are here, im a pretty skilled forger for map design. I have tons of maps that I’ve not released that could use some awesome custom game modes if you wanna collab. I have some free time

[lofty sable]

I am currently working on a community radial menu I have a working AI spawner vehicle Spawns and weapon givers on top of skull activation and global events for all players and modifying AI squads

This is my biggest project yet so far I'm 15 brains in

I'm currently making check systems for AI Spawning and blocking menu items until said squad is dead to avoid server issues

Bots are still buggy not for spawning but they can cause server instability I also learned that giving yourself points/money like GTa crashes the servers lol

Big learning curve with this radial menu stuff but I already have a super down pack system that works for lobby's with 20 PPL USING THE MENU AT ONCE

Including all options vehicle Spawning all that

The only mode I think I ever created from scratch was assault I made it for griffball before it came out

My GT is O7OF if you add me I'd be more than happy to help you out with a project

My profile has many scripts aswell for objectives zones seeds timers to reset objectives AI bosses custom weapons checkpoint systems mission layout templates

Feel free to use no credit needed I just want people to learn and make what I have even better and more Optimized

Also the assault script I gave is one bomb all that needs to be done is remove one goal and I'll replace a check for get player team on area entered whichever team it was will get score yes we can add a 2nd bomb aswell if needed

The script was built with pretense on classic halo 3 / reach griffball I'm more of a halo 3 dude

[cursive glen]

What language is the code?

Honest question

I can make scripts in c sharp better than c++

[vale stag]

Anyone know how how to make the forrunner doorframes we see in the campaign? Im trying to replicate the rooms we see best i can for a large scale battle with room to room engagements. I could also add collaborators if anyone is will to put lots of time into the map instead of just giving me advice and wants to be more hands on

Map name Relic

[pure tinsel]

@lofty sable I think I added the right you on xbox haha. I'm more of an artist than a scripter. I'm currently working on a campaign mission that mimicks the orignal nes Contra 1-1 level. It's pretty neat so far, like a medium sized field of islands connecting to each other with banished props and human props.
The final boss being that wall with hit spots you have to destroy to open the door to the next level.

Due to time/value constraints, I've shortened the actual replica of the level, so its more of a rendition and a node. I added enough spacing between combat for a few platforming moments, and each small island is a zone for combat. So I need help with making the triggers to start the combat event at each island; etc. I've made small little spawn huts for these, to hide the "spawn", so they should walk out of the huts sort of like in borderlands.

overall, it's about a 20 minute experience, looks good; I just want it to play good.

[zinc gull]

may be able to find a forerunner door prefab that close https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/ugc/browse?searchTerm=forerunner+doorframe&page=1

[vale stag]

These are perfect, thank you!

The map im working on is called Relic, i just published to see how players will mess with it but have added any gamemode obj's yet or final polishes

[lofty sable]

It's technically using the Blam engines lisp in Blueprint format

Considering slip space is just a updated variant of the engine

[lofty sable]

When me and Talos remade tip of the spear we had to scale it back I still managed to fit the 2nd turret encounter in it by a hair we need bigger canvas with higher dynamic objects counts and FX counts

[lofty sable]

It's in the actual door objects then go to gameplay halo design set gab the default doorway and color it

I believe its in structures doors it's the blue forerunner animated one

Or accents forerunner

[vale stag]

Those are not the doorframes in the campaign

[lofty sable]

They are in there I have used them

They come as a default looking object that needs to be colored they have the wide one and the normal one don't use the square ones

How do I play some mods on Halo Reach on MCC? What kind of Forge do I have to put on or go to?

[floral juniper]

forge is a completely separate thing from mods buddy. but generally you have to launch the game with anticheat disabled (on the steam version) and go into your campaigns/multiplayer menu. should be a new list after selecting halo reach.

sometimes other titles will need to be installed for some missions or maps to work

[urban lantern]

Ooooh I see now

Thanks

Idk i saw this mod on my FYP TikTok and immediately downloaded it right away. I appreciate it.

One message removed from a suspended account.

[feral quarry]

Very late reply but there's no direct script for shooting

[stiff hawk]

There's a player made prefab with a setup for On Player Shoot.
It works by constantly checking what player's weapons are, and how much ammo they have, and triggers whenever it sees their ammo has dropped.
It works surprisingly well, but IIRC does not work with plasma /energy weapons

[lilac stirrup]

where is the sentinels in forge, I've been waiting since the update that introduced forgeable AI into the game, praying to the precursors that a patch would include them, so unfortunate that the live service ended before it could be possible 😔

[warm dew]

No AI sentinels unfortunately, only the Adjutant Resolution boss, and the dead sentinels in the bodies category.

[fast sleet]

i think it was much more complicated because it would need an air nav mesh rather than a ground one which is more difficult to calculate in forge maps

[lilac stirrup]

Ah, now that makes sense.

[zinc gull]

yea i wished too. Like others have said the no air navmesh for forge is the problem. Forgelord commented on that a while ago, it was not possible. Or if it was the tiniest bit possible, it would take way too much time and work, so much so that it was not feasible. So maybe next game's forge😭

[warm dew]

I have seen some forgers create prefab that look like sentinels, and scripted them to fly around in the distance or above their maps as props.

[clear berry]

Anyone know how to give the Bandit the BR75 scope in Forge? I been messing around with it and can’t figure it out

[stiff hawk]

The pain is that you cannot resize Dynamic objects, and you cannot easily script multiple objects to move together at once, especially if rotating.
Welding can, in theory, work. but in practice it has been unreliable for me

[stiff hawk]

If you want the Bandit (DMR with no scope) to have a scope, you need to use the Bandit Evo. You cannot change the scopes of weapons.

You can combine the Bandit Base Weapon with a Legendary BR and it will make the bandit do a 3 round burst, but it will not give it a scope model.

[clear berry]

Thank you, I’ll try that

[stiff hawk]

Do you know how to do weapon combos?

[clear berry]

Yea. Accidentally combined a sentinel beam and skewer.

[jovial ravine]

Hey I don’t know if this is exactly a forge question or just a general halo thing but on Halo MCC, why do almost all player made maps and game mode say they are untrusted files?

Should I be concerned if did something like say, download a costume made map in forge or a game mode? Not like a mod just stuff made in MCC. Would I have a chance of my pc getting something? All I know is that it’s just there so 343 can say “not my fault/problem”

[fair helm]

tldr: maybe

this was added either when MCC PC released, or when mods became better supported. in theory, it could be possible for a user to inject something malicious into a file. i dont know of anything specific being reported though. the potential outcomes of these cases could be anything from "your account gets banned from xbox live" to "you now have a bitcoin miner on your pc". but again, i do not think i have heard a single case of this actually happening

[maiden ferry]

I've been playing halo since halo 3 and never have really messed around with the forge. Now being older and for the first time beginning to mod a map... the amount of work people put into even just the forge community maps is absolutely immense

I am a little bit awestruck by how much time people invest for a map to be used by like 15 people and how much game knowledge it takes

[proven cave]

You guys think Husky-Raid maps are still in demand? Like to even a small degree? 👌

[sharp summit]

Maybe for community tournaments but for matchmaking no. The latest map Yuletide had been ready to go since 2023 and cleared for matchmaking, but it just now made it to matchmaking since it was fitting.

[proven cave]

Damn

Got a Doom inspired map I've been working on

[sharp summit]

At least that's what all the signs are pointing to. All the 343ask tags were recently removed from the preset tags section for assets, and HS has stated there is no more content updates coming. Pulling a map into matchmaking requires back and forth with the playlist team and QA to ensure it's ready for MM and I doubt they have enough people allocated for that anymore.

Your best bet is to just ask streamers like TheRedGear to play your map in customs so you can still see people appreciating your map; that's basically the core reason why I'd want content in matchmaking.

[proven cave]

Wait. But in the stream where they discussed the latest operation, they mentioned this was the last 'major content update'. I mean, no more original content maybe, but it seems a bit rough to stop all content drops including forge content.

Though I trust your perspective so maybe I'll look into content creators for help circulating my map when it's finished.

[sharp summit]

They've been vague with their wording so it's only speculation, but removing the 343ask tags from the preset tags is a conscious decision by them. To me that shows that they don't want people using those tags anymore since they aren't looking for new content for matchmaking.

[proven cave]

Good point. But they must know we have to survive until the next multilayer somehow

[sharp summit]

Well forge content is what's gonna carry this game for the next 2 years and based on how the top forgers are being treated and communicated to right now it's not looking promising.

[proven cave]

Hmm, alright. Well that kinda sucks

I believe there are plenty of door script prefabs out there that can get you going. But two easy ways to do it are to either rotate a door around it's Z-axis, or to move it up/down/left/right several units to get it out of the way.

[flat palm]

Hello there, trying to play a few games with my colleagues, and was wondering if in custom games it was possible to make the bot take a vehicle against us ? It would be amazing thanks

[odd pollen]

No, bots can’t actively drive or pilot vehicles in Halo custom games.

[craggy lintel]

You can force them in via scripting.

[flat palm]

how ?

Could you explain please

[craggy lintel]

You'll need to go into Forge and experiment with forcing Bots into vehicles via the node graph.

The easiest and most effective way to get enemy vehicles is use the AI Toolkit which does feature vehicle spawners, although they will not drive UNSC vehicles.

If Bots are forced into vehicles, do take note that they won't function near as well as intended and have poor accuracy and pathfinding.

Also, aerial vehicles aren't able to be effectively piloted by Bots or AI due to the lack of aerial navmesh.

[drifting grove]

so thats why banished banshees in forge just fly up and just disappear

[craggy lintel]

Yep

[frosty plinth]

I have a very specific question about a forge asset:

Is there a way to get inside of the cockpit of the pelican asset in forge? when flying through the model in forge/machinima mode it looks as if the interior cockpit isnt modeled. But I also found a really janky gamemode that allows you to spawn into one which shows that is it modeled and players can walk around, but as I mentioned, its really janky and for my purposes it will not work. I was wondering if there were any other work arounds?

I’d love to see a mod for og Halo Combat Evolved where it’s an open world with new environments that you can explore and just take out Covies and Flood

The idea being to make a world that’d be fun to play through with CE’s classic graphics and gameplay

[normal token]

Why are Grunt Mules not spawnable in Forge?

[zinc gull]

I dunno. u need to use scripts to imitate mules with boss briglard unit

[lunar tide]

Hey I'm trying to learn A.I scripts and event scripting and music setup with some objectives for a number of my maps and unfortunately my fellow forge teammates quit Halo I'm mostly a environmental forger and base builder and never learned scripting.

Can anyone like possibly help me with scripts or possibly teach me?

[formal pebble]

heloo peps

[white apex]

Yeah bro I can help you with some simple scripts hit me up in dms

[zinc gull]

i liked joining the scripter's guild discord. there is a huge database of help topics about all sorts of scripting. Over the years people have asked and helped with almost any scripting possible. if u ever want to learn how to script it's a great place for that

@oak oyster no, that's not what this channel or server is for

[novel raptor]

Does any infinite forger k ow how to in the gridiron map with the classic grifball mode know how to get the slayer health & shield traits applied? I've tried everything but nothing works

[nocturne fiber]

https://youtu.be/JTgIOFiJF-4?si=Apik-U3LSfh4N8UC

[karmic jackal]

[onyx cave]

I'm the author of the map. What do you mean?

[vale elbow]

If I had to guess it sounds like a problem I had in the past where I didn't start with the correct core game mode rules. Like you can't have the game tracking the kills of the players like it's slayer AND have flags and bombs etc. that also contribute to the win/loss conditions.

If i'm right about what his problem is then he maybe trying to create a grifball game type with team slayer rules instead of neutral 1bomb assault

[novel raptor]

There is something in either that map or the game mode that messes with classic grifball health, its instant start to regenerate and its so fast that you can stand there, do nothing, and Jega won't be able to defeat you, which is why I wanted to apply slayers shield & health specs to it

@vale elbow no, I want grifball but with the shields & health specs found in slayer

[onyx cave]

@vale elbow @novel raptor I see. The map only works for the official Grifball modes. It's not supposed to be played with other modes or Firefight. 😬

[novel raptor]

Is there a way to get the same shield & health effects into grifball?

I wanted to make grifball but with ai helpers/ foes

I dont like that I can take infinity sword strikes from Jega in there

That's why I want the shield & health to be like the way it is in slayer

I got everything else but that working

[onyx cave]

You would need to save a copy of the game mode and open it on Forge to edit the values and mechanism of player health in the node graph.

[novel raptor]

Something like on gameplay start & declare traits? (Sorry I am idiot when it comes to forge)

[alpine tundra]

Went on Forge today and all of my custom maps have developed that iridescent textures issue. The usual fixes aren’t working and I’d rather not delete and replace several hundred objects in each map. Ideas? Any help is much appreciated.

[zinc gull]

may be nvidia driver issue, you update it recently?

[crisp light]

Forge builder of over 11 years.
Hit me up if you have major projects, need design tips, or have questions about how to make game modes work with certain map builds.
I have multiple maps with source files to prove they were indeed created by me
I play on Steam but also have an Xbox account. Let me know!

[crisp light]

you can try posting the map. and downloading a copy of it as a shared file. deleting the original only once you know you have the clone in your posession.

technically that file you are downloading the game reads as some rando's file. it doesnt really differentiate that you are the same person who made the original once its been posted. only for name sake wise on posting.

anyways, by doing this you are downloading an entire NEW copy of all the items and objects. without placing a thing. (even tho you did)

[alpine tundra]

Thanks! I’ll give it a try.

[hasty sundial]

Wait. What do you mean xbox exclusives wont be playable on win 10 once microsoft finally disconnects their service off from the operating system?

I joke it will never happen. I don't necessarily rage farm.

[fair helm]

hi, this isn't the place to talk about this. it would be better suited to #general-chat - this channel is for talking about halo's forge mode

[hasty sundial]

I apologize i thought this was a general discussion channel

[alpine tundra]

I do have a couple as I would love your feedback on. One is attempt to recreate Station from the new Marathon, and I am running into object limits. The other is a large map that I envisioned as a patrol map (à la Destiny) for Halo. Neither has any gameplay built in yet.

[modern robin]

nice

i can dewf help with that tonight!

[lunar tusk]

im trying to make something similar to red vs bluee, and i was wondering if there was a halo game in the master chief collection which allows you to clone yourself? Im asking mainly because i dont have friends.

[warm dew]

Are you trying to make a machinima? I don't think there's any native option in those games to clone yourself. The easiest thing to do is use a second controller and have player 2. Alternitavely there may be some mods in the Steam Workshop that could help with this potentially, but I am not sure.

[fair helm]

i feel like i remember hearing about NPC/AI mods for mcc a few years back, but these were pretty primitive and i would imagine updates would have broken these since i hadn't heard much about them since infinite's bots were either revealed or people got to playing with them more. modded bodyactors are going to be rudimentary either way.

best option would be self controlled second controller. rvb did stuff like that a lot. there was quite a bit of behind the scenes footage where they have like three people controlling eight controllers and stuff

[charred flame]

Hey everyone. I have a specific forge scripting question. Can someone help me understand what I'm doing wrong?

hey can someone help me set up Infected for this map I made

[wheat abyss]

Hello im looking for someone to make maps with. Im on Pc and it can be either on mcc or infinite^^

[thorny forge]

I've been working on maps , I just made a Cod zombies mal

[hushed socket]

I am looking for maps that can support 4-8 teams slayer but also 4-8 teams oddball and neutral CTF (with 4-8 bases)

With standard 2-teams maps, the initial respawn for +3 teams are not good at all , even the map is barely made for more teams

do you know any ?

[warm dew]

No out of the box maps like this, in Infinite especially. Some may have used a multiteam custom tag for there map, so I try starting with that.

[hushed socket]

Thanks a lot, on my side I literally set in the lobby multiple teams with standard team slayer. And it works but yeah the teams at the beginning spawn randomly more or less. I am not expecting out of the box maps, but more if any forger is thinking about doing it or did it :/

i needd hellppp

with a scriptingg

how do i delete multiple object with the object list?? (scripting)

[warm dew]

are you saying you want to delete every object that is in a list?

If so, I believe you would just use For Each Object, put your object list as the input, and then for "execute per object" connect it to a Delete Object node with the "current object" pin connecting to the input of the delete node.

[raw stirrup]

is there a discord for Halo MCC forgers? Im trying to remake Aquarius from Infinite in MCC

[fair helm]

there probably is, but we cannot allow the sharing of any servers that arent officially affiliated (eg: #community-servers ) here for user safety reasons.

[hushed socket]

anyone knows if in halo infinite there exists “Smear the Queer” a remake from halo 3 ?

This is how it looks like
https://youtu.be/oztVSgl0su8?is=zdltlqJEXLHYCDYJ

[warm dew]

Definitely not called that anymore 😅

[icy tree]

For those who know about my map, Gruntland, it has unfortunately been deleted after I accidentally deleted all of my map's versions while trying to update all of my thumbnails of said map, as well as the map itself.

I did however, created a new mode on Halo Infinite called Fiestafight:Classic. (which I will release in #1231006442656628758)

[hushed socket]

Somebody knows if exists in halo infinite ?

[zinc gull]

idk i haven't seen it around
