So i’ve been playing around with Halo 5 Forge and scripting since the launch of forge. I’ve had a good understanding of scripting from the beginning and even after a couple updates, but it’s gotten to the point where I need to ask for help. This newest update to Halo 5, Monitor’s Bounty, looks like it added a ton of cool stuff to Forge in the way of scripting. I’ve been able to figure out most of the basic, straight forward stuff but now I need to get into the more complicated things and have no idea how they work. I cannot find anything anywhere online on how this new update’s scripting features work and trial and error are not working as this update is HUGE. I would appreciate if anyone had any advice or happened to find some hidden online site where they explain how these new scripts work and could share it with me. If you need to know, I’m working on making a “Conquest” gametype from the good old game “Star Wars Battlefront 2”. Seeing as I could not find a way to make capturing a territory activate scripts, I need to script my own territories from scratch. The main thing stumping me right now is how to use the “Number: Change” action. I need to have a set number, and when the player walks into the base boundary it lowers that number over time to 0. Once at 0 the base would then be “captured”, but either I don’t understand this scripting action or scripting is broken cause I cannot get it to work. Someone please help!
And I thought Halo: Reach’s forge a long time ago was complicated. Halo 5’s scripting takes it to a whole new level.
If anyone can provide help im asking too!
There are sub-menus within the scripting options that allow to to decide what objects and players are targeted in the different aspects of the scripting logic. I’m not good at explaining things, but if you press A on PLAYERS, TARGET, and other things in all caps, it’ll let you determine what that script will refer to. For reference, ACTIVATOR is the player or object that is entering the zone, pressing the button, scored the points, etc… THIS refers to the object that you are binding the script to.
To make something happen over time when someone is inside a boundary, you can just change it from Enter to Continuous. If you want it to execute actions every second, you can change the repeat value to 1.
To make it change a value over time, add a number change action and set the operation to either increment or decrement. After that you can set the source to a constant value and set it to 1, for example.
