First thing. Would it be possible to script a way to spawn inside of a vehicle?

Second. Can you slave a 3p camera so it doesn't move?

Third. Who likes racing games?

that is all.

I'm not sure if you actually spawn IN the vehicle (a hoverboard), or when you start you automatically get in. It's a single-player map too, but I don't think that makes much of a difference.

The Zelda Cam (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1428) hack comes into mind, where you can do the lock on thing and the camera won't move but would follow at whatever distance. Should work with 1.07, check it out though before you take what I said as fact.

Depends on what kind of racing game. If it's something like F-Zero then hell yes, but if it's a generic 'lol look realistic racer hahahahahaha' then I couldn't care less. However you're asking this in the Halo: CE section so I can assume it's in CE then, right? In that case, I'd probably love it.

I tried to do a Mario Kart series of maps a while back, and it was frankly boring without weapons and everyone having to get into vehicles and wait to start. With OpenSauce, though, it might be more feasible.

Zelda Cam wouldn't work. Itstays in the same direction no matter where you're going or what you're doing. The camera needs to be slaved to the direction the vehicle is looking.

That's pretty much what I want to do.

I was thinking actual cars, but maybe i'll try some F-Zero style stuff too.

A year or two ago I made a death race type thing, but never finished it. You're right about it not being fun when you have to get in it.

Exactly what I was thinking. I want it in the same direction as the car. But without an external program.

Would in-car be better, or third person outside of car?

I made DMT Air. :-3 It's not hard to do SP. It "might" be difficult to script in MP but it's possible.

If you aren't using pickup-able weapons, you can actually MAKE the biped a vehicle in the globals.

Doesn't solve the 3P issue, though.

I'm going to assume the player0 biped is already in the vehicle before the level really starts correct?

Pmuch. There is a semi-simple way of doing multiplayer vehicle spawns but you'd need to know how to script.
