Sandtrap Human VS Flood AI Battle with Elite and Flood Drop Pods

Please be aware that this mod is a work in progress and is not considered complete

This is not a modder's resource, but I am happy to provide examples of the scripting used to help others

Special thanks to Arttumiro, Gamecheat13, Pyrosocial, and Camden over at the Halo Mods Discord for helping me figure this

scripting stuff out - and thanks to JoeC from The Gaming Hour for helping me get the AI mongoose moving and many other small things

IMPORTANT

- You must change team to Blue Team to have the Marines fight with you!

- You MUST play as a spartan! Playing as elites is not (yet) supported and will black screen!

ALSO IMPORTANT - This map works both in custom games and forge - forge includes the pelican and phantom as a extra spawnable vehicles

How to Play

:

• []Load up either a custom game or forge game on Sandtrap - make sure you change to Blue Team to have the Marines fight with you

  []Locate the two button panels on top of one of the structures near the valley (see the images)

  []The button panel furthest from the edge allows you to select whether to be spawned into the Pelican to be dropped in at the start or not - holding E to activate it will tell the game you want to be spawned in the pelican. Simply don't activate this panel if you want to stay on the ground.

  []The button panel closest to the edge initiates the battle - activate it, and after a few seconds the dropship and flood carrier shall appear and begin the battle!

  Feature List:

  []Medium-scale AI Battle between a human Marine task force, and the Flood

  []Fully working Pelican dropship that deploys additional troops to the battle when the previous wave have died

  []Fully functional Elite drop pods that are used to respawn 4 Elite AI

  []Flood Carrier jumps into the fight from slipspace, flies overhead, and starts dropping lots of flood dispersal pods to spawn the flood AI!

  []Pelican also deploys a mongoose with marines - the marine has passed his driver's test and can actually drive the 'goose around

  []Pelican spawns out of the human frigate that hangs over the map, for that extra immersive feel

  [*]Ability to choose whether you want to be placed into the passenger seat of the Pelican dropship at the beginning of the game - you are not teleported back into the pelican when the troops respawn on the pelican so as to not take you ou
