I really liked the idea of a stats summary in the bottom-right corner of the COD loading screen, so... I decided to update the pregame lobby overlay.

Kinda. But it wasn't perfect. bsky.app/profile/grun...

And it is :) That said, in order to make the object move, I unfortunately had to implement a loop that, every 0.1 seconds, repositions the object to match the player’s position.

Pleasure :)

Moreover, for performance reasons, many objects do not exist online. A simple example: the stools in the restaurant on Bazaar.

This works perfectly, right? However, in practice, and only online, the object remains in its initial position.

Ideally, a method to replace the player’s biped with an object would be the best solution. Such a method does exist on the C++ side, but it is not exposed on the Lua side.

1. Create an object (in Halo Infinite, this object must exist in the map’s tag list).
2. Make the player invisible (object_hide).
3. Attach the created object to the player so it follows their movements.

Of course, this is a very simplified explanation.

Some exposed methods don’t behave the same way locally as they do online. For instance, a method called object_attach allows you to attach object A to object B. Taking the Prop Hunt mode as an example, you could:

For example:

- Anything related to vehicle physics = C++
- Anything related to events (medals, kills, etc.) = Lua

Aside from the game engine, which has undergone various iterations over the years (since Halo: CE), the core functionality is based on a “bridge” system between native code (C++) and Lua code (executed on the client and/or server).

I’m not familiar with Unreal, so I can’t comment on that, but this is mostly a case of technical debt.

The more I play Prop Hunt on BO6, the more disappointed I am that this mode can’t be properly replicated in Infinite.

I even tried coding it (lua) but the engine has so many limitations (especially in online play) that it’s impossible to recreate the true COD experience.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
