Scripting Halp

Community General Discussion

So basically I would like an item, say Active Camo, to spawn at start and after a specified amount of time, despawn and be replaced by and Overshield with the two alternating in that manner for the duration of the match.

So I created a script brain with two timer scripts:
Script one: On timer(Initial Delay: .3; Repeat Timer: .3), Message:Send; Channel Alpha
Script two: On timer(Initial Delay: 0; Repeat Timer: .3), Message:Send; Channel Bravo

Then I created an AC and OS with these Scripts
Active Camo:
Script one: On Message Received, Channel alpha, Spawn
Script two: On Message Received, Channel bravo, Despawn

Overshield
Script one: On Message Received, Channel alpha, Despawn
Script two: On Message Received, Channel bravo, Spawn

Now in theory I feel like this should work properly, but when i create the AC and OS scripts in forge, the two both despawn by the time specified by the brain, but never respawn. So I decided to save the map anyway and load it up in slayer, except neither of the power-ups have spawned and never do.

My theories are that the the objects are failing to listen while despawned, or when they despawned while I was forging, they were actually deleted and were not in the game at all when I saved the map.

Any help either letting my know what I’m doing wrong or how to perform this action properly would be greatly appreciated.

I haven’t spent very much time with Halo 5 forge yet. But it seems to me that you shouldn’t really need a script brain for this. I would try removing the brain and having each item spawn and despawn on their own timers. Also keep each item on it’s own channel so they don’t interfere with each other.

Agreed, a script brain is something I think you don’t need. Simply just go into the scripting and just have it set to despawn at the beginning of the map and then set a timer to whenever you want it to spawn it.
