Well I never been a big forge maker because of a few non-important reasons but last night me and my friend started getting more in to the fun of forge. So of course we went right away to sandbox and we are having one issue I need to be figured out. We have our stage set for the crypt but when ever we start a new round or pick the stage in custom games it begins us at the ground level up above. I even erased all spawn icons of the top to be sure the game would only be in the crypt. I am pretty sure I erased them all but I will check it again. So is there a way to fix this? I just want every spawned right away at the crypt instead of above because I can just imagine all the bull **** that would go on, lol.
Double check that there aren't any spawn points above. Your probably missinging a few. You also have to place a few down in the crypt or it will revert to default spawning.
Oh yeah, I definitely got a number of them in the crypt. I will double check that ground area for any extra spawn icons but I am pretty sure I erased them all. Although they do keep spawning me in one area so I guess I will check that part out.
Place a general spawn "zone" in the crypt(covering all of it) and give it a priority,that way the engine will ignore all other spawns outside the crypt so you can avoid your witch hunt.You should be able to do this si "all gametypes" then specify spawns for each type of game
This is correct. Starting points dictate where the player will be at the beginning of the game/round. You have to place enough for each player or place one by a group of normal points. (I have not tried that, but that is how Bungie does it.) Make sure you give them to a certain team if it is for team games. Also, starting points only act in that gametype. Therefor, you will have to put new ones for every gametype.
Hmm does sound like stuff I didn't mess with yet. I never noticed anything yet about starting points but I will definitely look in to this much as I can. I am actually gonna book mark this so I can check again on it. If someone can tell me exactly step by step on how to set starting points and alter them that would be extremely helpful because that is the exact problem I am having. We start all the time at the top instead of the crypt even though the map was checked so many times and even compltely erased to be sure I am not missing spawn points. Are the starting zone setting in the forge tabs (when you press the x button in camera view) or..... Does this mean to put a ton of spawn points and then press x on them to pick the option so that those will have the priority mentioned in this post? As I said I am really new to the forge because I just played the halo 3 game and never bothered with forge before so I apologize for sounding like I just picked up the game one hour ago, lol. If the starting zones can be explained step by step it would be extremely helpful and appreciated. That way I don't got to look for options that I have no idea where they are placed.
Sorry about teh vague's heheh. Change the gametype in the pause menu and a dropable item called a spawn zone will be there.These exist separately for each type of gametype (CTF slayer,infection etc) When you place one of these down every spawn within the adjustable zone will grouped together by certain factors. (Enemies in the zone,allies in the zone,priority of the zone -set by you- and a few others) Take a look at the forging 101 on it. The main thing is though if you place one as a general pot that fills the whole crypt you can make it so the game will automatically ignore all spawns outside that zone.Then place the spawn points you want inside the zone
Alright Supa Midget. I will keep that in mind and keep the page opened to do this properly. Thanks a lot. Me and my friend been having a lot of fun with the forge. Not that it looks amazing but since we just started it's not horrible to us and we are having fun at it. This part has been the number one thing to deal with for me so it will definitely be great to get this understood.
Well just to update this. Me and my friend did these steps and some of it worked but there are games like slayer and oddball that still start us up the ground lvl. I made sure to leave the starting spawns (forgot the name lol, something with starting in it) I made sure to edit them for all the teams. hell, me and my friend made sure to add everyone that was possible with tons of spawn points next to it and it still spawns us at the top for slayer game, and yes I was sure to make it a slayer game. I am running out of ideas and probably will move on to something like ghost town for some forging, at least that will be one entire stage to deal with, lol.
