    What do you guys think is the best way to do this? You cannot place items inside of where they spawn because there is invisible collision geometry there. Do you know if there is anyway I could merge an object into this space, possibly blocking the spawn of them?

    I could make a wall, but if I could merge something inside of it to just block it from spawning that it would be much easier.

    If i understand you correctly then your talking about the power cores that look like large fusion coils, right? If thats so then you can just delete them. Hope i helped.

    No you can't just delete them......
    But you might be able to destroy them then put a weapon holder or something small inside where they spawn to make them not spawn except at the beginning. But, yea I think it is pretty much impossible to make them not spawn from the beginning.

    Even when they aren't there, you can't put things inside where they would be, it's like an invisible wall. I want to basically know if you can geomerge something into it like you can on foundry.

    You could geomerge a weapon holder into 1
    but, it is impossible just to let you know.

    How would you geo-merge a weapon holder without the objects necessary to do so?

    Not impossible but hard. You would have to geomerge a weapon holder, with a weapon holder (rather than a door) and use weapon holders to brace it, very difficult.

    I wasn't sure I didn't have the objects necessary to do so.

    Why don't you make a fusion coil explode at the start and set it to never respawn. When it explodes, it will destroy the power cores. Did that help? I don't really understand your problem.

    I just interlocked a weapon, holder and a teleporter with the fusion coils to no avail. The teleporter and the weapon holder had no effect on the explosives, fairly sure it is impossible to block off the explosives. :(

    @What's a scope?: The explosives respawn every 45 (I could be wrong) seconds.

    for one why would you want to delete them, they add a whole bunch of fun to those maps
    and theres really nothing to merge into them so i wouldnt waste your time on trying to do this

    There is another way to geomerge that not enough people know at all. I wish I could find the thread I learned this from again because it was a fully explained tutorial. Anyways I'll try explaining myself.

    -Grab your immovable object in forge.
    -Rotate it so that it is rotated exactly how you want it at the end of the merge. Let go of RT
    -While not pressing RT at all, drag the object against the map scenery that you want it to geomerge in. Wherever the spawn point for the object is, is where the object will spawn, but it will spawn with the same rotational values as when you let go of RT. Without dropping the object, save and quit, should be geomerged.
