[buderduder]

[lilhomieMexican81G]

Thanks! Very helpful!

[left4newbzTWO]

Thank you very much!

[Zexion1127]

If I wanted to make it so that you needed to capture multiple territories to go to the next phase, how would I do that?

[adam2craig2burnio]

@Zexion1127 Make multiple objective points with the same settings.

[xXUnKnOwNXx21]

how do you  change the game type label it wont let me

[ultimateredassasin]

@xXUnKnOwNXx21 when your selecting a gametype at the begining of forge were it says basic editing select invasion then it should be about to let you select a game label

[shawnthetaco10]

how do you add sheilds and stuff like that that go away after an objective is taken?

[DoYouKnowWhoKnew]

Cheers man this is awesome cant wait to start building my battlefield.

[ThisMrAwesome]

Thax man that really helped

[hawksclanvids2552]

Thank u man i had to watch 3 times to make sure i did nont mess up mine and my friend love the invasion map i built with your advice

[pmackni]

If you're getting confused by all my comments, I'm going to get a capture card soon, and make my own tutorial that will hopefully build off of the information that you have gotten from this video, as well as correct the errors in this video that I have already addressed. I'm not saying TeamDespair was wrong, however. Invasion is extremely difficult and time consuming to code, and mistakes and misunderstandings are common. My only hope is to make forging more "user friendly."

[pmackni]

Another thing: ALL objectives belong to the attacking team. Spartans attacking mean every objective belongs to red team. Elites attacking, objectives belong to blue team. For assault and ctf, you usually use will markers for the spawns, as they do not appear in the game. You use capture plates as the place where you go to capture the core or plant the bomb.

[pmackni]

Reading my last two comments, you might think I'm insane, but I'm in the middle of creating my own invasion map, and I hate coding it, and those are the reasons why. I spent a lot of time looking at the respawn zones that Bungie used on Breakpoint (my invasion map tiers are in the same order, territories, assault, ctf). Coding is also difficult because you can only do so much of it in the map. The rest of coding actually take place in the game type settings.

[pmackni]

Also, you do not need spawn zones, you can use hill markers, which is what Bungie used in their invasion maps. Spawn sequences are also wierd for with spawns. They actually have nothing to do with when the spawn zones spawn in game. The label of INV_RES_P1, and the other two that end with P2 and P3 control which tier the zones spawn in. Spawn sequence actually control which of the three fire-teams spawn there. Set it for 0, 1, and 2 for teams alpha, beta, and delta respectively.

[pmackni]

The red and blue spawn colors have no corrolation to who attacks and defends. That is dealt with in the game type set-up under the invasion settings. The colors corrolate with the species. Red = Spartans, Blue = Elites.

[IDontWantThatPony]

@pmackni

Thanks man really appreciate the positive feedback.

I understand that there are indeed MANY problems with this video.

But if you would please look at the when this video was uploaded [2 days after Reach came out], that I didnt understand 100% of everything that I was talking about.

Sorry Im human, thanks for your help.

[pmackni]

@IDontWantThatPony

I didn't notice the date, sorry. I'm pretty sure you knew more than most people did at that point in time, so...

Anyway, overall your video did help me straighten out a lot of issues with map, so thank you.

[Ihaveaspartanlaser]

go despair dooooick

[fanoff11]

This has helped me so much. thank u 4 putting this on youtube :))))))!!!!!!!

[xSmoothPopz]

How come i put the the spawn sequence on the right number to when i want them to spawn there and they just spawn on any random spawn on the map how do i make them spawn in one spot for one phase

[pmackni]

@xSmoothPopz

If you still need help, read my comments that I made earlier. My user name is pmackni.

[theartbook35]

This is my one complaint about Halo Reach: Nothing in the booklet or game itself explains each of the gametype labels. Especially since this is our first time seeing the map variant, Invasion. It took me a long time to understand how to make invasion maps.

[TrimricFlea15]

thanks



[Tekoleader]

"Thank you bungie your so nice...(not)

[Riley1234559]

i tried this and it didnt let me captur it and i was on o fence

[Riley1234559]

[SoppingOyster]

[Haloreachmaser]

Thank you im making a new invasion maps this is just what I needed

[biowepcosmic]

[TorinoNinjaKid]

legomatrix69 if you go to spawn sequence and set it to1,2or3

[mrZEEWEEBOB]

[PluggedNinjapwn]

[Nannarki46]

nice vid thank you so much :) !!

[kilzter1]

I still haven't figured out how to spawn next to your partner in invasion.

[halofan3214]

@kilzter1 how much players where there(there has to be 6 people in one team to spawn on your teammate)

[MrRevanpotter]

So for the defenders(red) the zones are red right?



[sssw441]

thanks man this helped alot

[Hikariu117]

Thanks man, nice upload.

[IDontWantThatPony]

@Hikariu117 & @sssw441 & @Nannarki46 & @mrZEEWEEBOB

[IDontWantThatPony]

@BoparaiGurneel & @sawyerover9000 & @ZeroStealth117 & @Eerendel

No problem, glad I could help!

[sawyerover9000]

i had been trying 2 figure that out for so long, thank u so much, because of u i now have an awesome invasion map.

[ZeroStealth117]

DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH! I finally got my invasion map working after over a year (it was on hiatus after a year since I couldn't figure it out and it didn't occur to me to look on youtube, what a dummy XD).

[pengfish1297]

Gets easier as you go along. :)

[calebulr]

lol thank you bungie your so nice... not

[awesometown1000]

[milky5432]

@awesometown1000 copy exactly what they did then make the map then when your finished go bk and put the stuff around the map

[awesometown1000]

Good map- makers wanted. I am making a huge invasion map where the illegal "aliens" have to get past the border and steal the core that has the illegal immigrants law on it

[KDFJakerz5]

I'm making an Invasion map right now, it's like a cool huge lookin' UFO for the elites, I could use some help with the spawning and objectives, also the human's side. If you're interested in helping me, here's my GT: XxOhaixX

PS I wont be able to upload it to my file share since I do not have a hard drive yet.

[BassGuitarUke]

but does it work when the teams switch?

[weirdmanmovies182]

FInally someone that didn't video it off of their t.v.!

[HaloGeek454]

Facepalm* I was doing the first thing you said wrong.

[mithmasta2]

@HaloGeek454 you're not the only one :P

[eerendel]

thanks man. really helped

[oWAITWHATo]

my gamertag is F0RERUNNER (with a zero not an o) and soon ill be releasing a new invasion slayer map for the world to enjoy . i want feed back when its released tell me what i did wrong and what you liked . the name is WHEN ELITES ATTACK

[BoparaiGurneel]

Thanks!

[megaspoon1337]

The last thing i noticed was the fail sniper shot that just barely missed the camera guy...

[GodzillaRazor16]

U guys srsly needed to hold your weapons fire while the guy is talking so we can hear what he trying to tell us.

[gamer1338]

If you want a good invasion map guide, look at Riftegifle's tutorial. This is good, but the spawning is messed up.

[MidnightGrunt]

I always forget how to make an invasion map and I ALWAYS use this as a reference.

[IDontWantThatPony]

@MidnightGrunt

Haha thanks man, glad this worked for you.

[MidnightGrunt]

@IDontWantThatPony Um uh ..you didn't make the video.

[IDontWantThatPony]

@MidnightGrunt

Read the description, friend.

[hal0NERDkiller]

wtf flying kill ball??????

still really confusing pllzzz i need help

[HabboBroadcastShows]

I was expecting "Alright guys, let's do this! LEERRRROOOYYYY JENNNNKINS!

[legendarywarthog]

now you guys should figure out how i can make the barriers dissapear

[IDontWantThatPony]

@legendarywarthog & @hal0NERDkiller

Could you be a little more explicit about what you mean? Because I may be able to help you.

[legendarywarthog]

@IDontWantThatPony nah your good i figured it out

[rovertkralc1]

holy crap thank you

[crayzeesteve]

its all rlly just common sense, just look at boneyard, breakpoint and spire in forge. look at the lables for each pointmarker.

[xXNiTr0xKiNgXx]

what do i put the game type label to to have a bomb?

[crayzeesteve]

@xXNiTr0xKiNgXx all setting are in the custom games gametype, just put it as the capture option

[byrnesjr1]

pony i already found out but thanks anyways and if anyone needs help with gametypes/map making hit me up with a message/friend request and ill help out if its map or gametype doesnt matter ill get her done... my gamertag is: byrnzy77

and trust me ive made my own maps/gametypes so im professional (microphone would be useful if you had one

[IDontWantThatPony]

@boomingkiller111

Spawn a teleporter and set it to these options-

Object Options > Advanced Options > Spawn Sequence > 2

Object Options > Advanced Options > GameType Label > INV_Vehicle

This will also cause the teleporter to have a symbol come over its head for about 20 Seconds after the first phase.

Hope this helped!

[MatsKemper]

why the fuck is it that when i try and make my respawn zone a box it's like an inverted box, i don't know how to explain but has anyone else had this problem?

[MegaBrad23]

thanks

\



[darktigs406]

blue is for elites ad red is for spartens and when you go to the game options you choose who ( spartens or elites) attack first

[AcrDude1000]

Breaking Benjamin at the end.

[IDontWantThatPony]

@ninjamaster121

Make sure your settings are correct, and make sure in the Custom Game options you have the correct team attacking.

[IDontWantThatPony]

@ninjamaster121

Just make sure you have all your settings correct!

[IDontWantThatPony]

@missing765

That is done in the Custom Game Options

[KWolves124]

OMFG THIS IS WAY TO COMPLICATED!!!



[DBZJohnny123]

another question, how do you make it so that there are two groups of three in the team who only spawn on one spawn point at the start and the other group of three spawn on the other spawn point.

[DBZJohnny123]

how do you make spawn points like at boneyard where at first you only spawn at the first building if your a human then after the objective you cant spawn there anymore, and you only spawn on the second building with the core plz help

[josephvidcreator]

U REALLY HELPED ME (really) but, im making a map (its good so far) and im stuck

:(

could you help with alot? not like the building, but the respawn zones, obj, and stuff.

if you do, i will give you credit for it

GT

StuckLoki

(also, im 13 ^^

[tristin82fudge]

I need help on how to make the place to take the core

[WilliaceWallace]

but cant the red attack also? not just blue?

[WilliaceWallace]

o thats how you do it

[jpbkidvid]

i set things up like this but instead i switched the colors so blue defended while red attacked, but it didnt work and red defended. how do i fiz this?

[DanOntv23]

ty i was trying to make one thanks

[Shadow137Ninja]

How do you get the Covenant core to spawn instead? Reverse the team colors for who's attacking and defending?

[MajorHuggles]

@Shadow137Ninja I assume you mean that you want Spartans attacking? You can adjust that in the gametype settings during Custom Games.

[IDontWantThatPony]

Exactly.

[Zach6700]

how do you get vehicles to spawn right

[XTacticsGaming]

Hello PLEASE READ I NEEDS HELP :3 how do you make it where the person carrying the core can get in a vehicle with it ...i set it to it in the game options but he just drops it

[IDontWantThatPony]

@XTacticsGaming

That may be lag, or if youre talking about the Driver seat, I dont think thats possible.

Sorry!

[sprucemoose18]

Is there any way to allow people to capture territories in Invasion whilst in a vehicle? I am trying to make an aerial battle for the first phase, Falcons vs Banshees, in which the former has to gain air superiority in order to assault the Covenant base. I have a massive territory with a 60 second timer suspended in mid-air waiting, but no matter what I do to try and tweak it, I cannot get it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[IDontWantThatPony]

@sprucemoose18

Ah, that I know for a fact does not work. It sucks so much I had a similar Idea once.

The only thing I could think of was to make floating bases (put Man-Cannons facing the Ground to simulate Propulsion). That way people have things to stand on.

Sorry I couldnt give you better advice!

[sprucemoose18]

@IDontWantThatPony Ah ok thanks. I pretty much gave up on it about two days after I left that post :P. Got a much better Invasion map in the works now. I'm trying to make it like BF:BC2's Rush mode :).

[Yankkes255]

Thanks. You rule!

[nostanater1]

@missing765 that, i know. you actually change that in game options; not in forge

[nostanater1]

this guy sounds alot like that one guy from halo reach tricks

[comenter6542]

THANK YOU

[chadmart2001]

[thesupermacho]

[byrnesjr1]

@Amnsupercooldude11 yeah i got it to work last week, thanks for the advice but lol you were wrong, i just did a simple miscalculation, but all is well now, thx

[TheOdst1337]

do you only need 1 spawn point

[byrnesjr1]

disregard my last comment and replace it with this: how do u create a vehicle example: scopion only to respawn after round one is complete??? thats all i need to know and i will not bug u anymore :p

[IDontWantThatPony]

@byrnesjr1

Alright, Spawn a vehicle-

Custom Settings > Advanced Settings > Phase (# in which you want it to SPAWN in)

Custom Settings > Advanced Settings > GameType Label > INV_VEHICLE

Hope this helped!

[byrnesjr1]

what dou set the intial spawn points/spawn points to? or do u just leave them in the circle? because i made a good invasion map but its all screawed up :'(

[logmister10]

@byrnesjr1 me 2

[byrnesjr1]

@logmister10 whats your gamertag? put it on your fileshare and maybe it deserves to be in my "custom game of fame" of maps on my profile

[logmister10]

@byrnesjr1 i dont have a hard drive but i will soon and when i do ill put all my maps on my fileshare but my gts logan

[byrnesjr1]

[TheNuclearGrunts]

@ocifferk why would u be watching a halo vid if u dont have halo?

[TheRsmoneymakinguide]

Thanks a bunch man, I was trying to figure this out but didn't set up the objective flag point or the respawn zones. thanks man

[HaloTurtle3]

You're so lucky to have all of those friends who play Halo.

I'm sad all of my friends play Call of Duty.

Halo>Call of Duty

[20CHANCE07]

@HaloTurtle3 That is because they can't play halo and people who play halo can't play battlefield. One big motherfucking vicious circle. lol.

Though thank you to the uploader! Been trying to figure out the sequence, brilliant vid!

[PhotoShopChannel]

@20CHANCE07 people who can't play battlefield play COD

[KOOLKAT1062]

thanxxxxxxxxxxx very much awsome vid

[TJRGamefreak]

that helped a lot thanks



[sislegend]

hey, thanks alot for the vid, but i have a few problems:

1- instead of a core spawning, its a bomb

2- for some reason, my spawnning areas for blue team dont work but red does

Plz send me any helpfull info =D

[XFUSION101]

for the core instead of the bomb change the invasion option in the gametype

[IDontWantThatPony]

@sislegend

1- Make sure in your Custom Game Settings, the phase that is having difficulties is set to the correct GameType (Assault/CTF/etc.)

2. Make sure your Spawns are correctly placed and have the correct settings.

Hope this helped!

[omaDeadlyTaco]

i was thinking of making a large scale invasion map but this looks like work

eh I'll do a mini version like you guys did

[BringOnAwesome1]

holy crap, ive been tryin to figure making an invasion map out for like 3 weeks, but this really helped me :P thanks man.

[Orcling13]

[mikarocksz]

[towernut2]

[bretthicksomega]

[PrivetCyan]

[DontClickOurURL]

@PrivetCyan you change that in the game options

[rogers900]

@PrivetCyan gametype Invasion Spire

[Brock1599]

dued this is so hard me and my friend cant do this

[jackacaster1]

[meepeebro]

in the first phase can you put to objectives? Like in invasion there is alpha and bravo to take over.

[IDontWantThatPony]

@meepeebro

Simply put down two object zones and make sure the Custom Game options are correct

[AVPboy6]

Thx for the help

[soulbladez22]

I am trying to make a invasion map with my friend and everything is good except for the spawning. I setted up everything like you said and still everytime I die I spawn in a different area your not supposed to. Im I supposed to set it to: Spawn sequence: 1, Game label: Inv_Res_pt 1 or is it something else. plz reply

[IDontWantThatPony]

@soulbladez22

Sorry for the lateness,

Change it to this-

Spawn Sequence:1 | Game Type Label: INV_RES_ZONE

OR

Spawn Sequence:0 | Game Type Label: INV_RES_P1/2/3

Hope this helped!

[soulbladez22]

@IDontWantThatPony Yeah turns out I needed to put respawn zones the whole time lol thanks anyway.

[DoYouLakBanannas]

ur only low levels but u did a darn good job

[Skillerguy45]

@DoYouLakBanannas it was made 2 days after the launch of halo reach

[lolIamnotengelis]

[MrSobermonkey]

[jos3ph277]

[jos3ph277]
