NOTE: What you are about to read is developing research into Halo 5’s Forge vehicle scripting and spawning capabilities.
Me and my crew were just experimenting in forge creating an all-new powerful vehicle. The build has been successful and can play an import role in our upcoming mini game (including but limited to Infection). However I’ve been trying to figure out how to respawn the scripted vehicle perfectly without causing crashes or issues to the map.
I’ve been unsuccessful.
The methods I’ve used so far involve blowing up the wielded warthog to find the best results for re spawning a destroyed scripted vehicle. Here are the results:
Method 1: Warthog script 1 send message alpha on destroyed/disturbed,
Wielded objects script 1 message receive alpha despawn. Warthog script 2 on spawn message send bravo. Wielded objects script 2 spawn on messages received bravo.
This has been a failure because the scripted objects spawn duplicates of itself in areas that aren’t the spawning location. 5x out of 10 does it actually spawn altogether as a group either. Warthog becomes separated.
Method 2: Whole object (warthog plus items etc) Despawn in 10 seconds after disturbed/destroyed. Respawn in 5 seconds. This method crashes the game instantly.
Method 3: Despawn whole wielded group in 1 second after disturbance/deletion, respawn in 15. Results showed that the scripted objects wielded on the warthog would neither respawn nor despawn. The warthog would spawn and the wielded objects would remain in their last position, causing the driver of the vehicle to have severely limited driving freedom.
Are there any other forge experiments that have been conducting this kind of research? Ideally we want a cool vehicle that can spawn with its wielded objects together nicely. If you have any ideas how to accomplish this please respond.
