Hey these are really great tips. I never new about that man cannon thing. Keep coming up with new ideas.
Just found a handy little tool that can fix your merge after your object has fallen through the map using the door method. 1. If you are using the door method and your object just fell through the map, make the doors (180, No), and any other support device you used. 2. Put the object that fell through the map in the position that it was in before you started merging. 3. Change the Max to Min, now your doors, and anything else you used, will be interlocked with box. 4. Grab the box, let go, and shazzam, your unsuccessful merge turns into a successful one. Note: If your object is merged but crocked, just grab and let it go until it is straight, I have a video in my fileshare if anyone is interested. Link: Halo 3 File Details
I can't seem to succesfully merge a Corner Wall with the floor... I used the door technique and the Man Cannon technique. Any tips? <.< The wall just finds its way up, even though the man cannons are pointed downwards. And if I ditch the man cannons and use simply the door, it moves sideways and still isn't merged. EDIT: Nevermind, I got it merged. It's very crooked at the moment, and if I can't fix that, I'll be back. Probably.
Thanks man this really helped me. I have used teleporter's before, but I have never thought of mancannons. Keep up the good work!
I just figured I would throw this out there. I'm not sure if this is already known or not but just making sure. When you are trying to get an object you are merging to stop moving as it is being merged into the map geometry. If you let go of the object and start a new round, the object will have froze when the next round starts. I find this usefull when an object just contines to move. I found this out when I was trying to put a double wall to block off those open rooms on foundry. I had it almost perfect and I couldn't get it to stop moving. As usual, I just waited until it stopped, but it ended up sinking through the map after about 20 seconds. So, I started all over and the next time I just started a new round when I got were I about wanted it. If you get lucky it will freeze in about the right place.
You can fix your problem by using the save and quit method. What you do is grab the object and immedietly, without letting go, pause, save changes and quit. Even if, as the game ends, you see the object dissappear, when you start the game the next time, it will be straight 98% of th time
This has been a very helpful guide to me. I have used and reused the many tips this guide provides many times. The mancannon idea is genious
Will this help? 2nd last post. http://www.forgehub.com/forum/halo-forge-discussion/74045-geomerging-sandbox.html
wow thanks this totally helped, especilly the man cannon trick. but one question, wich way do you point the cannons?
Curious... I've seen the MLG Amplified, Onslaught and Lockdown maps, but like, what the ****, are they 200 hour forge maps or a cheat program that allows you to hold and move an object anywhere, and save quit, in the air. And yeah, good work.
great tips....one question thought....are the man cannons supposed to push the box up towards the doors or down towards the ground??
I have been trying to merge wall corners on foundry to make them similar to the wall corner jump ups on the map MLG Lockdown in matchmaking, and I can not seem to get them as perfect as I want them to be. Any help? I tried using your mancannon method, but they never come out right
This is a very well done guide. I have 1 question. is there any way to merge a grav lift or a man cannon into the floor on sandbox?
