    I want to create a bridge between two single boxes so that the ends of the bridge are interlocked with the boxes. I want the bridge to be the same height as the boxes too.

    How do I achieve this? (what can I sit the bridge on so it is the same height as the two boxes?)

    Difficult if you dont know how, but easily achievable. There are many ways. Its all on what you prefer. To be clear, you basically just want the bridge sticking out of the box?

    1. Alright one way to do this is to stack stuff. Get the boxes where you want them and all, and now use stuff like walls to stack up to the boxes height. And then put the bridge onto the stack and shove it against the box. Set the box not to spawn, and start a new round. Now move the bridge slightly over into where the box will spawn, and it will be interlocked. To be more exact, its good to have put an indicator on the box first, so you know where to pull the bridge up to. Then delete what is underneath.

    2. You could also have just laid a bridge on the box and then save it there, then go back, set the box not to spawn and then hold a bridge under the original bridge. This will put a new bridge exactly level with the box, and you dont need to sack anything.

    That was my original idea but I couldn't find the right recipe to make the bridges flush with the top of the boxes.

    Here's a brief picture of what I'm attempting:

    haha man I just stopped by this post to check it out and you have my spawn point alignment tip on here. Thanks dude I know there are some people who are already aware of this tip but for those who were not aware it makes interlocking so much easier. Anyways, thanks again for the credit I hope it helps people make some sweet interlocking and I would love any feedback anyone has on the effectiveness of this method.

    Great thread. It has helped me so very much in improving my map (House of Horror which sucked hard the first time) and has helped me invent a few other techniques for interlocking. (Such as if you want a wall to go into an open box but not all the way through, put a few receiver nodes inside the box also so the wall does not go too far [but I'm sure yall already knew that])

    Can you describe this a little more, such as what you mean by levitating the support. Thats the only part I dont get. I do the first method, and that never works for me :(

    Thats all very usefull and.. I'm not sure if this goes along with the topic but I'm trying to make an underground map on foundry and I have most of the platfourm down there but I cant get respawns to work. I got one down there and save the game and all that stuff but when I loaded it I cant spawn there, The respawn looks like its gone and it says that I still have 2 on the map. Can anyone help?

    one, did you even read the post. this is a tutorial not a map.
    two, to ask a question, PM or VM a moderator.
    three, to answer your question. It is post count, more posts, higher rank
    four, you can't post twice in a row, it is against the rules.

    Its hard to keep objects straight with spawn points, but its a good idea
