I would like to add an idea, where instead of referencing our custom SCRIPT globals in XML and compiling it with cheApe, we have a single scripting globals TAG that lets us define them... would that be too hard to add to OS Sapien (korn)?

What's wrong with how it's set up right now?

Nothing, but being able to just have a tag type for defining hs globals would make it easier to add new ones.

For one, it is far easier to copy/cut/paste XML definitions than using the HEK to try such things. Second, I'm not redesigning the internals of the HEK extensions to depend on a tag file instead of a lower level implementation file (thus, I don't have to wait for the tag system to be initialized before I setup the scripting additions). The pros outweighed the cons for this setup.

The only reason I include them in any tag definition to begin with so anything which loads the compiled map knows how to process the custom script data.

Just make a program which acts as a frontend (GUI provider) to the backing XML definitions if it is that much of a factor.

Would you be able to make it so when you pick up a flamethrower or chaingun it autmatically changes to third person like in halo 3? (with the camera close to the player and to the right a bit).
Or make it so it goes to 3P when you pick up a weapon with "3p" or something in the tag name (for custom tags)

That shouldnt be too hard but i cant remember if 3p was working or not.

IIRC Choking Victim got a 3p system working, but it involved using a script to make your player enter a biped that had a seat. The colors did not sync, and their might have been more problems.

This is Open Sauce, this wouldn't need any fancy tagging :P
