That's exactly what I'm talking about. I even think I have the triggers to do it. I'm just using the Pulse Rifle for an example; I'm too lazy to do the others. Hyper triggers may be needed.
PLAYERS
- Player 1
CONDITIONS
- Always.
ACTIONS
- Center location labeled 'FaceHuggerArea' on Pulse Rifle owned by Current player at 'Anywhere'.
- Preserve trigger.
PLAYERS
- Player 8 (or whatever player the Xenomorph is)
CONDITIONS
- Current player brings exactly 1 Face Hugger to 'FaceHuggerArea'.
- 'Switch 1' is cleared.
ACTIONS
- Remove all Face Hugger at 'FaceHuggerArea' for Current player.
- Set 'Switch 1'.
- Preserve trigger.
PLAYERS
- Player 1
CONDITIONS
- 'Switch 1' is set.
ACTIONS
- Wait for 60000 milliseconds.
- Kill all Pulse Rifle for Current player.
- Create 1 Chest Burster for Player 8 at 'FaceHuggerArea'.
- Clear 'Switch 1'.
- End scenario in defeat for current player.
I'm not sure with any of these triggers, so you'll have to test them.

This is a great idea that i didnt even think of, I think Im definitely going o use it thanks.
Well, you'll really have to thank MutilatedPuppet. He was the one who originally came up with the mechanic that I described. You're welcome anyway, ShadowSnipe.

I actually know of a map that uses that latter mechanic. I think it's available at MutilatedPuppet's website.
Mutilated Puppet has a website now!? I used to worship him I suppose I'll look at that site now.
Morpheus, you should check out my aliens maps (Harvest mostly) I have a face hugger infest you and five minutes later splat.

I already have Harvest and your original Aliens map. Unfortunately, with all the time I'm spending here, I haven't been able to check either of them out.
P.S.- I got the URL for MutilatedPuppet's website at Trickznstuff. I kept on refreshing it and boom, there it was.

ShadowSnipe I have literally tons of aliens and predator sounds, what's your e-mail? I'll send them to you.
EDIT - Wait, I can just attach them as a zip so anyone can use 'em...
Also know I have lots of Predator sounds too, all you have to do is ask.
P.S. Zombie that system is taking the easy way out, challenge yourself a little.

A question: how do you create a preatorian?
My though had an idea that an alien facehugs analien but i thought that was BS, and i cant do it on alien life cycle in the game
Also: what would happen if it facehugged a cow?

You'd end up with a runner... Since in Alien 3 it was originally a Oxen-like animal that was the host instead of a dog... ...I know way too much.
Oh and apparently how you get a Praetorian is simlar to getting a lurker.
Drone/Runner>Praetorian>Queen
But Praetorians are very rare... and they only molt into Queens when no other Queen is present.
If you want me to go more in-depth about the subject I can, and I will.

You don't know too much, Xeno(U). You just know what you need to know.
Anyways, I'd like to know more about the Praetorian; it's the one Xenomorph that I'm unfamiliar with. And how about those Predator sounds? Not just for me, but for the other people here to use in their maps.
P.S.- Thanks for the Alien sounds.

Prae's have strong armor wich blockes the smart gun shells... its head is simular to the queen....

Praetorians don't come out of large organisms...
A Praetorian is a adult (drone/runner/predalien) but it like went through a molting process to become a Praetorian...
Also, Zombie if you have more sounds than me, gimmie, gimmie!

I spent a few hours this morning working on the special abilities and I fixed a few bugs with them also, Im adding more action into the map without changing the story so it will be more interesting to play and i finished the briefings, also I completed the upgrade area and I need to add the leaderboard and kill--->minerals triggers. In response to Zombie's question, I think I will add credits at the end of it. There is still a lot more to be done and I am very busy. One of the problems i ran into was that the map is kind of dull to begin with and then it gets more exciting, I wasnt sure if I should change that so it is kind of exciting to begin with and then have it get better, but I wasnt sure if I should do that.

Well I just got back from my vacation to Six Flags Marine World so that's why I havent been doing anything with the map but now i'm back. The only problem now is school which is going to severely cut my working time, so it might take a little longer than I planned to finish. But I WILL be finishing this map.

The mines I threw in to make an alien hive in them, I couldnt think of anywhere else a hive would be that would fit into the storyline except maybe a facility but I went with the mine idea, but if you have a better idea speak up cuz I want to make this a great map and I could use some suggestions.
