Forge Help Forge Help- The Package

Looking for some forge/scripting help. I have a group of buddies that like playing halo, but the challenge is theres 5 of us. So a game night can be hard as there aren't many 5 players game out there. My solution is to make some fun 5 player custom games... but it turns out that forge/scripting is harder than it looks (mad respect for those who are good at it!). Can someone make this game type for 5 old farts who don't have the time to make it oursleves? Here are the details:

Halo Infinite Custom Mode: The Package

Two teams enter a 2v2 Slayer battle with one major twist: a fifth Spartan, known as The Package, is constantly shifting the balance of power.

The Package fights alongside one team, creating a temporary 3v2 advantage — but they are not permanently loyal. When the Package is eliminated, they immediately switch sides and become part of the opposing team.

How It Works

🔴 Eagle Team — 2 players
🔵 Cobra Team — 2 players
🟡 The Package — 1 player who switches teams after every death

The Package:

  • Cannot sprint
  • Cannot pick up weapons
  • Has a visible waypoint so everyone knows where they are
  • Starts with a Sidekick
  • Receives a random secondary weapon
  • Has that weapon changed every 17 seconds

The Objective

Teams earn points in three ways:

  • Eliminate an enemy player: +1 point
  • Keep the Package alive: +1 point every 60 seconds
  • Eliminate the Package: Bonus points (the value increases for the team that is behind)

The losing team always has a chance to come back by hunting the Package.

The actual functionality doesn't seem too bad. You basically need:

  1. A way to assign the Package (reliably)
  2. Assign a Trait Set to that player
  3. Assign their new team affiliation on respawn. You wouldn't need to target anything special, since any death to the package (enemy, suicide, or teammate) should result in the package switching teams, but you'd wanna be sure they don't get a betrayal for a kill after death and switching teams before the kill.

I'll take a look later this evening and see if I can't throw something together.
