Halo 2 Vista Scripting Tutorial

This tutorial sucks.



I made this tutorial so you can get the basic gist of how to make scripts in Halo 2 Vista. I did not edit out any mistakes (Patrick, "Gorilla" returns...) because it shouldn't really matter, as long as you can understand it, thats all that matters.

I hope you enjoy it, and I also hope that this can make H2V a little bit more active.

I would totally infract you right now for spreading the initial begin-statement disease if it wasn't for the fact that would be abusing my powers :snmug:

so instead, I -rep.

People, you don't need to place "(begin)" statements at the start of your scripts. This was started by someone unfamiliar with how scripts were compiled but hacked together a halo2 script decompiler anyway. These initial (begin) statements are REDUNDANT.

[/ragequit]

If both people had the same map, will the script sync or run for both, since they both have the same startup script?
You can add more than 1 script right?

Great job CodeBrain, the tut is good for a simple thing that not many people were aware of.
Maybe people that are currently making maps will take an interest in this (Kills Alone)...

lol Kornman, it's as though this "begin" has snuck it's way into common scripting knowledge.

Korn, this obviously is not my script <_>

I copied it EXACTLY from one of the Rework3d threads: http://rework3d.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=44102

I literally just pulled the gravity hack script from the bottom of the tutorial. I never knew that the begin thing was redundant (even though I don't place them in my scripts anyway)

Edit: This is a quote from said tutorial:

...For this tutorial, I’m not going to do the public example that you all know, the zero gravity terminal, mainly because there was too much guesswork involved on my part, and too many mistakes. Therefore, I’m going to walk you through a very similar script on coagulation. The script we will be using looks like:

(script startup gravity_hack
(begin
(physics_set_gravity 0.5)
)
)...

This tutorial dates back to 2006 though, which is where it could have started. Sorry if I have angered you Korn <_>

could this be tested to make a model that you cant go through like a fake collision model?

No, the object needs a collision model for something to collide with it.

start by linking to the Bungie scripting Bible that was here somewhere. please.

Eh, that version was really more of a immature reference than a developed bible. By the time that pin prick JackBauer leaked out that WIP I started to not care about developing it anymore. That and it was made in FrontPage 2003 (or maybe the previous Office version)

then post whats done :D
