Ok, so I have a new problem, I am attempting to make 2 to 4 guard towers, and I have extremely limited resources left for making them. The supplies I do have available are as follows: -4 double boxes -all wall corners -all fences & fence boxes -both the A & B signs What I am attempting to create is a guard tower that focuses in one direction, blocking off all the other sides of the guard tower, my problem isn't so much the ability to make one, but that the ones I am making look awful, they do the job, but I don't want to publish anything with those in it. So, if anyone can provide me with a picture of a simple guard tower out of those materials, that looks somewhat medieval, or 14th century, that would help tremendously. :squirrel_blush:
__ __ | | Use the corners to create walls on three sides. Use the technique where you use double boxes to keep your walls straight up and down. For the floors use fence walls represented by "D". __ __ |D D| You can use the interlocking objects method to place the floors wherever you want to. Sorry for the simplicity but I'm a little short on time right now. I'll check it out in more depth later tonight.
make a box with 4 wall corners and stack 4 more on top of them and then put two fence boxes for the floors then put two croner walls on the back. If you need a visual I will try to make it for you and show you.
I would appreciate it, I am kind of stuck here until I get these made, there's a bit of other work I can do on my map, but not much.
Okay, I've got the photos. But since I haven't got a photobucket nor a imagshack account and I haven't got access to my e-mail right now. So I'll just link to my service record on Bungie.net. http://www.bungie.net/stats/Halo3/Screenshots.aspx?gamertag=Skull 134D3R The pictures are named Forge-Forge 006. If you wish to look at the towers more accurately you can send me a friend request on xbox live. List of items I used to build one tower: 8 wall corners 6 fence walls 1 wall 1 wall double 2 window panels Details: 1 dumpster 1 propane tank And as a frame for the walls and such I used: multiple double boxes (4 will probably be enough) 1 single box 3 crates The double boxes are to make a frame for the walls as well as to lay the floor on the top. to make the "stairs" I used a single box which I stacked 3 crates on and then placed a fence wall. For the next part I removed the crates, and for the last part I only used the crates. I hope this helps! :squirrel_chatting:
do you have any wire spools left? you could stack them up to make the base of the tower and use fence walls for the actual tower. just remember that only some weapons can shoot through fences, snipers do.
Thanks for the pics skull, those are pretty awesome towers, unfortunately, I don't have that much space for mine, if anyone has any smaller towers that are accessed from the outside, that'd be great.
I'm very glad that you like my towers! :squirrel_giggle: What if you put together two wall corners to make a tower and then open it up at the bottom. To get upp you could use grav lifts or hovering crates.
That's a good idea, I just drew up what I think might be a solution, providing it doesn't look retarded, if that doesn't work, then I think I will probably work of that idea. Thanks for all the help so far, if none of this works, I'll post again.
This post should be combined with your other one Jedi. I see you resources though and any of the ideas posted above sound good.
jedi, i made a good gaurd tower on a map..... make a double box vertical, surround it in walls all the way to the top, delete one wall at the back for an entrance and slap a grav-lift down to take u to the top. voila! a good tower..... if u wanna see it send me a friend request tonight (british time) and u'll geta better idea! soz thought as i dont know how to embed images.
Thanks for the help guys, I have scrapped the idea of a tower on my map, as it does not fit the terrain properly, although, I have some good ideas thx to ya'lls help.
