    A couple questions

    I'm interested in making a mod(map), but I need these questions answered.

    Could I make a script that makes the spartan go prone, or a health dispenser which can heal both yourself and your teammates? I want something other than simply spawning a health pack.

    How could I make a model exporter and importer for Blender? I'm thinking The Ghost could help, seeing as he made that third party exporter for 3ds max.
    Do I have to use HaloScript to script in HaloCE? If not, how would I use C++ or Visual Basic .net? I know that last part nobody probably knows. Which language SHOULD I use? I like those two because I'm familiar with them. I just found a tut on Google for Halo Script, and I don't know if it will allow me to do what I want.

    I have no interest in getting 3ds max, I've used Gmax and it was terrible.

    I don't know much about halo script, but I do know that scripts are iffy. Even if you could make a script that made you go prone, you'd likely get a lot of syncing problems. You would be better off replacing crouch with prone animations rather than tacking on features. I'm pretty sure the health thing is possible, it just has a damage effect with negative damage (gives you health). Wait for someone like CAD to respond.

    It's a lot of work making those, and we don't even have one for Maya yet. If you can model in Blender and move to Max for the rest, do it.

    Yes.

    Like it or not, your map's going to have to go through it until a plugin is made for Blender. I don't see that happening any time soon considering hardly anyone uses Blender.
