LOOK OUT FOR THE ROFL FRAMES OF DOOM!

Hello. I'm making a short sketch localized in Custom Edition. I was just wondering if there was a simple way to very quickly swap characters - like some sort of dev trainer with that function or even a .nethook mod? - if so, how/where?

Below is the only way to change your model.

Get hek, watch some tutorials if you need to.

Use hek+ to rip the map you want to character swap on.

In guerilla, go to tags\globals\globals.globals (Not sure if that's the right directory, I have a fuzzy memory of mapping since I stopped mapping)

Scroll down to something along the lines of multiplayer player model.

You should be able to replace the current spartan biped with the one of your choice. Most bipeds are found in tags\characters, if I remember right.

Open tool, and recompile the map. If you don't know how to do this, here is an example:

I want to recompile blood gulch.

Blood gulch.scenario(the uncompiled map) is located in tags\levels\test\bloodgulch\bloodgulch.scenario.

In command prompt, navigate to your halo ce directory.

Type the following:

tool build_cache_file levels\test\bloodgulch\bloodgulch.scenario

This will overwrite your default blood gulch, or you can open the scenario in guerila and save it as something else, then compile.

Hope this helps you, I would have done it for you, but I don't have HEK anymore, plus a few other reasons.

If anything doesn't work, pm me, and I'll figure out what you/I did wrong.

Yeah, thanks - it would help... but that's a lot of effort if I want to swap characters every 5 minutes...

EDIT: How about this; I swap the projectile with a biped and use bump possession. - sooooo, um... how do I swap projectile in Custom Edition?
