    I am trying to interlock something that would have a round outline. I first tied a wire spool, but it keeps popping out. Could I use weapon holders to hold it in place or does that not work? I was thinking about using a custom power up, but I don't like how it was rounded. Any suggestions for this or is it not possible?

    I don't understand do you mean you want to put a custom power up into a wall?

    You cannot interlock movable objects, look at the forging 101.
    It has the answers

    what? No, I am trying to interlock something that is round into a double box. I want people to notice the different outline, to see a real life object. like Ill use the circular outline of the wire spool and interlock it into the box so that you see the round circle of the spool and see the full box. Sorry it is really hard to explain.

    I know that already I am just trying to find a way to make a circular outline in a box!

    You can actually,
    And i think i know what you mean,
    your talking about taking a coil and interlocking walls around it so that when you delete teh center object the walls form a circle right?
    if so...yes its possible

    uggg... Ok listen, guys he basically wants a circle on a blank wall, such as when you interlock a fence wall and a wall you get those X things on the wall. So, there are a variety of ways to do this, if you want a small circle just have to interlock a weapon holder so that it is barly sticking out.

    If you want it bigger, you can do what Matty was saying:
    Place an objective point and use the circle it creates as a guide. you can then interlock walls together to make a circle. Like follow the edge of the objective area (such as a KOTH marker) and interlock objects around it.

    Though that will leave rough edges. SO, instead you could interlock the edges of teleporters, the same way people write things on walls with the blinking part. to do this just leave a small part of the teleporter out of the edge of the box (interlocked) so that all you see is a line, then do this a few times to make a circle. then you are done, if you don't understand just reply asking to explain it more.

    Now about rep, Im not asking for any, I don't think that anyone should give you rep if you ask, because if you ask, arn't you just helping them to get more rep and therefore look better to your peers? Actually I believe that if you ask for rep, you should get -rep... Just my opinion

    Thanks dude and for the rep the guy asked me for it, I would kind of feel bad for not giving him any if he did me a favor. I knew about the teleporters , I was going to use that method for the circle though. The only problem I need help with is putting the teleporters in the circle because it's hard to use the method where you hold the tele's in the air then save and end game. I cant put the teleporters on something and delete the item because it won't be in a circle. What do you suggest?

    Ok, you have your box that you are going to do it in right? Put a box up against the side of it, then tap it back a small bit. Now you can push everything against that new brace

    brace-> || <-your wall

    so you make your wall (or box) not spawn at start, now, this would be easiest, go to an objective game and spawn an objective (KOTH marker or VIP point, or Flag return, or bomb plant) You will float that against your wall, then you can use it as a guide for placing the teleporters. So you just hold the teleporters against the brace and around the objective point, then delete the objective point and brace, spawn your wall, and you are done. :)
