    Me, Sweeny and a few other people kept the thread in motion, but there is some stuff that needs comfirming by you. Anyway, you stickied the thread. Did you expect it to fall asleep with you? :D

    Can you show us a pic of the golf hole? just another Q to keep you on your toes. And take the picture in Slayer! I want you to have to put effort into the picture!

    Is the tunnel the only way into the crypt?

    Can you make a map where one team fires upon the other team from the mid level to the skybox?
    Or vice versa.

    Sadly no. They didn't want the Crypt to be escapable without teleporters. Certainly shits all over my "Escape the Crypt" map idea :(
    And you can't use grav lifts to get out of the Crypt up the tunnel either. it's too long. You'd probably need about 15 grav lifts.

    I do NOT have the maps. I wish I did, but I don't.

    How far apart is the invisible sky barrier on the middle level from the floor of the sky bubble? Relatively, and/or measured by Territory markers.

    Okay, I'm answering from Page 4 on, if I didn't get to yours (because I'm assuming the others were answered by Sweeney and whatnot) then VM me saying it wasn't answered and a copy of the question.

    Anywho.

    Bit of an odd suggestion. Technically, you can, since the tubes themselves are immoveable and protect the person inside. However, since there are multiple laser towers and they all track the players simultaneously, you would need to construct a perfect tube system, and since you get killed instantly when going out there (even in monitor mode), this is highly unlikely. I'm not providing a picture because it would be too stressful and would only show you failure.

    False, if you look earlier in the thread, I posted THIS picture that shows the pallet resting safely on the grid during a custom game. I even moved it around in forge and it was safe. To my knowledge, the only objects that rest on the skybubble are scenery objects, movable or otherwise.

    I'm not going to create it, but yes you can, it was even confirmed by bungie in one of their updates/interviews.

    The skybubble floor is made specifically as a means of seperating the middle level from the skybubble itself. Objects, except those enumerated above, rest safely atop the grid. You can shoot from below up, and top down.

    Frsrs.

    I'll provide two!

    Like the Edge Acceptance Video, a Y-TUBE

    Comparison of a DOUBLE BLOCK and a Y-TUBE

    Yes it is actually. I was surprised and laughing my ass off at 4 in the morning. You have to time it, and move quickly. I just kept moving down in half-second intervals just barely missing the lasers. I don't have that game saved anymore so I can't provide a picture, but yes it is possible.

    There's no fix that I know of. As I showed earlier in the thread, I tried stacking two atop one another, then even placing another on top as a guide. It doesn't work.

    Sorry, but it is too much. As it is, when I have to take a screenshot. I haveta go into forge, set up the scenario, end game, go into theatre, line up the shot, take it, rush to my computer (in another room), go on bnet, download the pic, upload the pic to photobucket, use the link here.

    So I'm only taking specific requests.

    Nope, they remain. Hobo-heights remakers REJOICE!

    Me standing on a PALLET

    Monitors can go into the killball, but like humans and vehicles, they explode upon entering.

    It blinds everything. Literally. Its like a flare. Although it has a slightly orange hue from the looks of it. If you want to see what I'm talking about, look earlier in the thread where I disprove your first statement.

    1) not a question or an answer so take it to sandbox DISCUSSION
    2) you can still enclose your maps like you're used to on Foundry.

    The blocks seem to be immune to the glitch.

    85 Seconds. Counting like you would a slayer timer.

    Nope, you die instantly.

    Question negated by the answer above.

    Not a serious question pertaining to the thread.

    But to answer you, yes.

    I never stickied it. I wanted it to bump by questions only. Guess Sweeney might've

    As for the golf-hole, this was in response to a question mentioned earlier in the thread about interlocking it so that only the flag is shown.

    [​IMG]

    No "slayer" for you mofo.

    Yes. Unless you put a teleporter down there...obviously.

    Yes, you can. Mentioned above in this post.

    I actually did this last night when I threw a teleporter into that barrier-area. It rests neatly on the middle level ceiling.

    Anywho, from what I can gauge its 4-5 Boxes.

    I assumed the grid becomes a death barrier in custom games. Could be about the same distance below the map as normal death barriers are on other maps. So my educated guess is about 20 metres?

    Can you overload the map to turn off the lasers? If so, can you travel all the way out to them?

    They might have patched that, but there is an invisible barrier that stops you getting to the lasers.

    Thank you so much SargentSarcasm for taking your time to answer our questions. Most of the questions I would've asked have been answered and I thank you for that. Now I was wondering a thing or two...

    If objectives such as a Flag or Oddball fall out of the map(when in the sky bubble) do they re-spawn within a few seconds like they would on Guardian or Construct? OR do they just re-spawn from inactivity with the objective?

    Also just one more thing to clear things up. I saw how you had the pallet resting on the sky box grid. Does that mean every destroyable object rests there just fine? Even if a player stands on it? And I assume that weapons and equipment cannot rest on the grid unless something is underneath them, am I correct?

    If they respawn, it'll be due to inactivity.

    Just checked. The only objects that can rest on the grid safely are scenery, movable or otherwise, even if a player stands on them.

    Weapons, equipment and vehicles all fall through unless they are resting on a scenery object.

    Regarding the crooked wall glitch, could you try this please:

    1) Place a wall flat against the ground, to set the rotation value.
    For the rest of these steps, do not press RT at all!
    2) Pick it back up, continue to hold it and push it towards the ground (by moving forward/down, not with RT!).
    3) Save and quit while still holding it, to 'lock' the co-ordinates and rotation values in.
    4) Check and see if it worked.


    Also, if you lay the wall onto say, a double box, does the glitch still occur?

    Are there any new cool movable objects that some great switges could come out of. If so please name them, also their chateristics.

    Sargeant, you are a god for answering all these questions for us!


    How large is the budget?

    Can you go from the mid level to the skybox, and die by the grid, only going up?

    Thank you so much for answering my questions so quickly. You are a gentleman and a scholar. :)


    The Budget is $1500.

    And when trying to enter the skybox without a teleporter you hit and invisible barrier.

    No method works. Just tried yours. It doesn't. I've tried the latter one, it also doesn't work.

    Does the slant matter enough to effect major gameplay?

    Oh, I know. Can you slant the wall in the other direction so that when you reload it, it lays straight?

    Based on the wall slant flaw, could you purposely make the wall slightly crooked so it will be straight up when you save?
