    If anyone can tell me I would appreciate it.

    Weld two blocks together (blocks that you use to form walls from for example).

    Set the physics to NORMAL (or whatever it is called for affected by gravity). Release the object and the object falls to the ground and comes to rest.

    Can you tell which is the parent and which is the child by the highlight as you point at it (not grab it)?

    Can you tell which is the parent and which is the child by the highlights when you grab it?

    Much Mahalo for anyone that can help me understand how this works.

    Hey Buddy! Again "Forging Halo" is great stuff!

    Physics NORMAL on a welded group while hovering over un-selected:
    Parent Object is outlined in WHITE
    All other objects in group in PURPLE
    (Also, start location of welded group shown before fall to current location caused by gravity)

    Physics NORMAL on a welded group while selected:
    Parent Object outlined in TEAL boldy
    All other objects in group in PURPLE boldly

    So TL;DR: Yes and Yes.

    I have another question/scenario.

    Three pieces, P, A, and B, all blocks as before.

    If P is the parent of A and B, and you can tell A and B from P by the color highlight, then can you separate A from P without separating B from P (e.g., un-weld)? Or does the un-weld break the entire group apart into their individual pieces?

    This is basic stuff, why are you not simply trying it out on a test weld for yourself?

    ...wait, what?

    For all your brave talk Mrgreenwithagun, and against a lot of forgehub members, you don't even have skin in the game? I effing paid for my xbone, the MCC, and TWO copies of Halo 5 (one being a present for my bestie) and I have reason to talk smack as much as I like!

    Cheap ass!

    To answer your question. You are unable to un-weld a single piece of a group. It will simply break the weld of the entire selection and leave the pieces in a group at which point you can leave them grouped or un-group them into their individual pieces.

    After MCC I just can't bring myself to give 343 my money.

    Why does that concern you. Forge 5 will be free soon for the PC and I will get it then.

    Thanks. That is good to know.

    Is this true in all cases, or does the physics setting (NORMAL, FIXED, MERGED- or whatever they are called in Forge 5) show different un-weld behavior?


    edit: never mind, not a relevant question yet...
