Hack 68. Exchange the Weapons on Your Vehicle

Create a hybrid vehicle by mixing and matching the vehicle weapon tags.

This cool hack allows you to put the weaponry from one vehicle onto another. For example, you can make a "Warption" (a Warthog with the Scorpion turret on the back) or some other crazy combination.

Open ADI [Hack #50] and browse to the [hlmt] object properties tags. Pick a vehicle that has a turret on it that you want to swap with another turret. In this example, we will be adding a Scorpion turret to a Warthog. The Warthog tag is objects\vehicles\warthog\warthog.

Next, go to the Meta Scanner and click Dependencies. Once you have the dependencies open, scroll across until you find a vehi dependency. This is the turret already associated with the vehicle (see Figure 8-1).

Click it and swap it for another vehi tag from the drop-down list. In this example, you are going to replace the Warthog turret with objects\vehicles\scorpion\turrets\cannon\cannon_mp (see Figure 8-2).

Sign the map [Hack #53] and FTP it to your Xbox [Hack #54]. Now you can enjoy driving your new hybrid vehicle (see Figure 8-3).
