Hey There. HumBoys here with a new forge map made to help you learn some basic forge tricks, and then apply them yourself. It wasn't hard to do, and didn't take very long, but I still hope it teaches a few people some things. Lets get straight to the pictures and descriptions/instructions of the five tricks I hope you can master. 1: Door Geo-merging At the first station, it shows you how to geo-merge with a door. It's quick and easy, and you don't even need to start a new round. The example given is properly set up. All you need to do is grab and then quickly let go of the double box. Once it is settled, delete the surrounding objects. To build this, take the box given and set it in the desired location. Put the teleporters around it, making it immobile. Place the door on top of it at the desired angle. The further the box sinks into the box, the further the box goes into the ground. Grab the box, let go, and boom- u has teh uber 1337 geo-mergin!!1! 2: Teleporter Doors Teleporter doors are doors placed about the map with either a sender node inside it or a flipped receiver node in front of it. Two way nodes do not work. To create this door, place a door and interlock a teleporter into it. Try to avoid showing a lot of the green light from. Then place another door and place a flipped receiver node in front of it. Suddenly, you have a working door on your map! 3: Grav Lift Elevator This portoin exhibits a very useful item, especially on construct. Create your own lift for more vertical fun! To create this lift, place a receiver node upside down atop the double box and place a lift on it. Then place a lift directly under it. You can do this with more than one lift, to rocket you up on sandtrap. 4: White Powerups To create this, you place all three power ups in the weapon holder, and then delete the weapon holder. If you go through it, the active camo will not take effect! 5: Wall mounting weapons By far the most confusing trick of all, here is wall mounting a gun. To do so: Place a wall, and stack up as many walls as you want. Place a weapon holder on it's side two weapon-holder's legnths away from the wall. Try to catch the shotgun in it's grasp. If you can't, try putting the weapon holder closer to the wall. And that's the end of that. Download (and learn!)
I think the Forging 101 section is helpfull enough, there are videos too that explain some advanced Forging techniques.
This is a great map to teach people the fundamentals of forge. However I think a map like this should be in the aesthetic section. Overall though this is a 3.5 for covering the main tricks forgers use these days.
although its a nice idea and may help some people, the forging 101 is very clear. Also, how would this be a casual map, I cant see any playability in this, if anything it'd go in Aesthetic Maps. IMO, it belongs in forge discussion. But, a very nicely laid out post. Very descriptive and easy to follow.
i like this, it gives a few techniques not explained in forging 101 like the wall-mounted gun and the white power-up. also the reason why you cant get the camo is because you can only get 2 power-ups at a time otherwise it cancels one of them out. wahaha?
Decent map... As everyone else says the forge 101 is helpful enough. You may want to explain some other things too such as elevators or switches though.
Actually, the shimmering effect of the overshield cancels out the camo, so bungie decided to eliminate the invisibility altogether if the two were obtained at the same time.
nice to use for noobs but i already no al of this 2.5/5 ill dl later and recomend to my friends if you dont mind
