I am having a very hard time geomerging open boxes. I can seem to get the closed boxes just fine. Is there anyone that has worked with geomerging open boxes and is pretty good at it? Could you give me some tips on what helped you or could you possible join in game and give me some tips and coach me on what you see i'm doing wrong? I really would appreciate any help.
if you use walls or boxes to surround the object, stop right there. back away, delete said walls and boxes and surround the open box with teleporters. you can also put them at the top to help stabalize them better.
Thank you for trying to help me out. I tried what you suggested but I ended up with pretty much the same results. I was originally trying boxes as bracers like you had mentioned. I tried using 9 teleporters, 2 on each side and 1 one top like you suggested and got the same result. Note: I am not using the door method, I am using a floating box to push the bottom one into the ground like in the tut in 101. The result I end up with when trying this all different ways, is instead of the top box pushing the lower one in, they just end up interlocked and the bottom one actually ends up floating some instead of pushed into the ground. Any other suggestions?
Yeah looks like he did do a pretty nice job at geomerging them. I am wanting mine lower into the ground than his were, maybe his same technique would work.
My advice... Use the Door or Window Method. In Ny opinion it goes down with more accuracy and is easier to use. Also, Save and Quit after you Geo-Merge it, but while you are still holding it. Save and quit saved my friends map. He geomerged a open single box and it freaked out on him. He saved and quit while still holding it, and we came back and it was geomerged almost fully into the ground, but there was enough room to crouch under.
Ill try the save quit method with doors later when I get on. Thank you for the advice, it is the same thing Liniubidix suggested. Ill see what I can get and be back with results later tonight.
Well from what I understand if you start geomerging a small bit at a time and work it down as appose to right to the bottom helps make a cleaner merge.
Thanks everyone for giving advice, I'm getting it now with the save/end and teleport guides. I am now getting caught up when I try to go one more step lower into the ground. Can anyone lend me some advice on how to get it just a little bit farther into the ground? I want it lower so that you would have to crouch walk trough it. Before After As you can see from the pictures the box is getting pushed completely into the ground. I have tried with bracers and get the same result. I originally thought the bracers were some how pushing it down that far, but it wasn't the bracers.
oh i know how to help you there put a door flat in the box. and then put doors that are used to geomerge on top than put guides around the box. after that grab save and quit and it sould be just above the ground
i have a tip practice saving i know it sounds stupid but soon enough u will be able to do in half a second from when u grab it but roughly it takes about 2 seconds for the avrage forger but thats good after u grab the box u should save 2 seconds after because if uve ever actually payed attention to a goemerge it goes in faine then it spazzes out hope i helped
I used your idea to put the door inside the box and it worked. I didnt use a door though. I put small barriers inside the boxes with a receiver node sitting on them and that seemed to work! Thanks for the idea for a bracer on the inside.
