    I know that they have gravitational properties in both halo 3 and reach but was wondering if they continued this feature in Halo 4. I'd love to make a tin cup elevator but don't know where to start. Any direction would be much appreciated.

    I'm pretty sure tin cups don't have the same properties as Reach and 3. I remember going in forge, chucking one down, and trying to get a ball in, but it just rolled down the side, right after i finished campaign.

    I tried for weeks to create a good elevator that does not wobble and become unstable once the player is standing on it and it is pushed up by a force.

    I used explosives to t rigger it, and that was the hardest part. But before I got very far into my design, i abandoned the idea of using a piece to serve as the elevator floor.

    The reality is that trait zones and gravity volumes work much better than any moving elevator ever could. That is the route I have gone and I probably won't look back. That's what I recommend for anyone trying to do elevators

    Tin cups unfortunately lack the magnetism that they had in Halo 3 and Reach.

    No? The magnetism is still there.
    But I have no idea how you could use it to build an elevator ..

    That is too bad. I've been fooling around in forge with tin cups and cannot seem to elicit even a smidgen of magnetism from the tin cup.
