I tried to make my own forge map today for the very first time and the controls were killing me. I could not line up a wall on the floor so it's perfectly straight. I tried for 15 minutes, the wall would just not line up straight or it would tilt. I really don't know how people can create such amazing maps with these controls. Can anyone help me?
if you spawn a wall,its already strait up,use this to your advantage. next,if you set up a teleporter,it will stand strait up,use it to line up your wall. If you are still having trouble,contact me on xbox live,my GT is halo kid 024. And dont call yourself a noob,it just makes you seem to desparete and seem as if you have no skill.
no your not,a noob has no skill,your just new. Im sure your a fine forger,you just havnt tapped into your potenial yet,and besides,we all have to start somewhere.
First of all that's terrible advice, instead you should lay down a block, box, or t-wall, and then put the wall up against it. If you want to learn more check out the forging 101 section or contact me online.
Kind of like he said, try placing a double block / box down as a brace / flat surface. Push your walls against the box. Always use braces, I haven't made a map without braces since like a couple weeks after Foundry first came out. PS: the controls do suck, but you get used to it. Remember, Forge isn't a map maker, it was originally meant for rearranging spawns and weapons and whatnot.
Okay. A few other things when I tried out forging. When I try to line up boxes perfectly they start shaking our of control and when I release it, it just bounces and lands crooked. Is there a way to avoid the objects always being directly up close to you also? Because the objects I move always block my view. I tried RT + left analog but the object always finds a way to block my view either way. edit: what are braces?
Braces are objects lined up to use as guides for other objects, get online within the next hour and I'll give you a forging lesson.
[ ] = box | = Wall [ ]| = wall against brace. Use the brace (box) to keep walls straight. This works well because boxes are less flimsy, and spawn straight. Even if you must turn the box, it won't fall down, so it's good. [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] ----------------------------- = Another example. ( - is wall ) Go forge with Xylom, he'll be able to help you with the basics!
