    I've been trying to include ramps made of geo'd double boxes for more aesthetic appeal, but I can't find an effective method. It always spazzes out of sinks all the way under. Same with other really deep merges. I just need methods, ideas, and braces people use. Thanks

    I couldn't come up with any, if that question was geared toward me. If not, well, cool.

    What I have tried in the past is place a double box of course, make it respawn later and place a stairs in that spot, put a bridge over top of the stairs and take the stairs away. Secure the box like you would normal geomerging and then grab it and hopefully it sinks into the ground angled the way you want it too. It works for me sometimes but it's the the most accurate way. It might work 65% of the time, I can't remember.

    Yeah, but my main question is like, is there a way you can do it in one push? Because I've found with multiple pushes, the success rate seems to drop.

    have you tried using open double boxes?

    youcan lock the insides with teles so they don't fall through or anything

    Dude!! Great tutorial. I tried to pull that off way differently in my newest map in progress and failed so I gave up, so now I will attempt it again.

    Oh man, well I can explain my way even though Blood Fire's is mucho better.

    Basically you spawn a double box at the angle you want.(So the geomerged doublebox if pushed against this one will be in the perfect spot) Brace it on all sides with teleporters and mancannons. When you have it loke that, set the doublebox not to spawn and delete one side. When the round restarts spawn another double box and slide it into the slot you have created. Then fill in the side of the box where you deleted teleporters with teleporters...er did that make sence? If it did, and you're still fallowing me force spawn th first doublebox. Then grab the newly placed one, save and quit. It should be geomerged right underneath the first doublebox you placed. It's basically a variation on the old-school way of geomerging, which I still find effective.

    Yeah it is effective, but I never thought to use it here. I'll try that.

    well, I prefer using the door method and you just sink it in at an angle like in blood's vid. but if you are fast at the save and quit, you can do ANYTHING. you could also use this and use the mancannons method. If I helped, I am glad I did. :D
