A real Hammer of Dawn w/ pics (Halo 2)

Yes I know its been done alot, but I never thought it was ever done right.
I don't beleive this will be too advanced with all the pics and all so lets get started.

First you want to pick your map to put your Hammer of Dawn on. I'll be using Turf.

Open up your map in DotHalo


1) Go to [weap] tag for the Sentinel Beam, it should now be on objects\characters\sentinel_agressor\weapon\beam\s entinel_agressor_beam
as show below:

Click the image to open in full size.


2) Go into Tag Editor and put the Number of projectiles to 5.

3) Go to Projectile at the bottom and select 0 in the dropdown menu.

4)Edit the X coordinate to 3, the Y coordinate to 0, and the Z coordinate to 10

5)The real Hammer of Dawn never runs out of ammo so we will put the Age per round to 0.

6)Also, the Hammer of Dawn only shoots out a beam for a while then stops so put the Heat per round to 0.35
(I found this the most accurate).

7) To add the cool effect of the beams coming together as they did when you started shooting the Hammer of Dawn, put Bullets
per shot to 5 and the Minimum Spread (Accuracy) to 0.1 and the Maximum Spread (Accuracy) to 0.001

It all should look like this:

Click the image to open in full size.


8) Now Save Changes

9) Now go into the Dependencies/LoneIDs window and change the Proj Tag to objects\weapons\rife\sniper_rifle\projectiles\snip er_bullet then Save Changes. It should look just like this:

Click the image to open in full size.

10) Select the sniper bullet (proj tag) again and press goto tag.

11) Go to it's Dependencies\LoneIDs and change the Cont Tag to effects\objects\weapons\rifle\brute_plasma_rifle\
red_plasma_streak
(This will make the beam red). Keep the Jpt! Tag the same but change the Foot Tag to whatever you want. I would suggest
Gauss_Bullet, Brute_Plasma_Rifle_Bolt, or Sentinel_Beam. (The foot tag is the marking the beam leaves on the ground)
and Save Changes! It should look something like this:

Click the image to open in full size.


We're done with DotHalo for now so open the map up in Entity.

Now to tweak the beam a bit.

12) Go to the [Cont] Tag and then to effects\objects\weapons\rifle\brute_plasma_rifle\r ed_plasma_streak
like before. Now on the right there is a tool button. Drop down and go to the Meta Editor. Make sure this is what you are on:

Click the image to open in full size.


13) Go down to the Point States Reflexive and change all the red values (upper and lower) to 12. Afterwards, put the Trail Width
to 0.8 but feel free to experiment with it yourself. Everything should now look like this:

Click the image to open in full size.


14) After thats done, press the Save button at the top

You can close out of Entity and open back up in DotHalo to fix the encryption.


***Remember to thank me if this helped you at all***


Both Dothalo and Entity are in AIOv3

Great tutorial. You might want to change the title to 'on Halo 2' or something.

Ripped? WTF DUDE. I wrote this all by myself and it took me over an hour to do all the screenshots and uploading to filefront and pics on Yelo. There isn't any tutorial around like this so...STFUN!

Compare the pics and read his tutorial versus mine.
