Hey I'm making an arena styled map, and to identify the bases I want to use A and B signs, but I want them to be smooth with the walls. So, how do you interlock A/B signs so that only the A -> part shows, and the sign is smooth with the rest of the wall? I've seen it done before, and I was wondering how it is done. Help is appreciated.
I'm not sure since there is actually an invisible part of the sign that protrudes out a bit. If you fully merge it into the geom so it won't hit you, you won't be able to see it.
You can place a fence wall against the box, then set the box to not spawn at start, then place the sign on the wall and spawn the box back But you may end up with a rectangular oval like nemi said, because there is a small silver stripe around the actual sign itself
It's basically about interlocking it just enough, however, to see the sign, you will have to deal with the small bit that juts out of the bottom. Basically, just listen to what Y35 said.
So what are you trying to say here? Because my spam-o-meter is going WHOOPWHOOP. I suppose pushing the sign into the wall enough so that it leaves a hole while not obstructing the smoothness with the invisible bit would work.
personally, i just set it up against the wall where i want it, set the wall not to spawn at start, and inch the sign back till its just right. its pretty easy actually.
ya i do the same, If there is a bit of metal sticking out, just grab onto the sign, look down and press the triggers to slowly inch it in or out.
i have some experience with this, and if you place the sign just up against the box, (if the box is on its side so that the bottom is facing to where the sign will be, then it makes it much easier) and move it slightly forward each time. if the box is on its side, so that the botom is on the side your making the sign, then move the sign so that its just into the little glowing blue pointing arrow that everything has. just make ajustments where necissary.
jeef, the silence broken nailed it, thats what I do too, i have it in some of my maps, thats about the only way, maybe tilt it a little idk. I think thats the only way,
ok. take a dumpster place it against the sign, then take a door and sink the SIDE not the top the SIDE so it barley goes in. Then put some guides on the side ex.singal box then just grab the sign A hold on to it until it settles let go,delete the door and the guides and there you go.
