Okay, listen, we should get our stories straight, all right? If anyone asks, and no one's gonna ask, don't worry, but if anyone asks, tell them as far as you know, the last time you checked, everyone looked pretty much alive, all right? Not dead.

The skybox above Forgeworld, which is accessible through the teleporter glitch. You can forge free of all terrain and all differences in lighting of the map. And the sky barrier is a natural soft kill, unlike the rest of forgeworld which is an invisible barrier.

I shouldn't have to state the same thing twice in one sentence. It is implied that I am looking for forge related questions, otherwise I wouldn't have said that in the thread title.

cough* you think you can answer my question man :)

Too bad. You have to answer my questions. You stated it in the title, implied or not.

What are weak-respawn zones, respawn zones and anti-respawn zones. what do they do ?


regular respawn zones dictate ownership of a section of the map. If I make a respawn zone that covers half of the map and label it Blue Team, that means all of the respawn points inside that highlighted section will belong to blue team. It's the same for the red team on the other half of the map. This is assuming your respawn points are all neutral (don't color them to be team-specific).

weak respawn zones go inside of regular respawn zones. They tell players to spawn at a certain point more often during the match. If I have a weak respawn zone over my base, it means I'm more likely to spawn inside my base. I wont spawn anywhere else on the rest of the map until the spawns in my base are threatened by the enemy team. Weak respawn zones are also influenced by teammate kills and deaths. If a teammate dies at a weak respawn zone, I'll spawn somewhere else instead of that one. If an enemy enters my weak respawn zone, I also wont spawn there.

anti respawn zones are the same as above, except in reverse. an anti-respawn zone tells me not to spawn somewhere. When you're making a symmetrical map with static spawns, it's a good idea to place anti zones over each team's base. If I don't want blue team spawning on red team's side of the map, I'll put an anti respawn zone over red team's side and color it for blue team. This ensures blue team wont spawn at red team's side of the map. Then you can do the same thing for red team by putting a red anti respawn zone over blue team's side of the map.

This is all assuming you want static spawns. If you want dynamic spawns, all you need is a neutral respawn zone over the entire map and small weak respawn zones scattered in between so players spawn wherever their teammates are.

I know it's confusing at first, but you'll get the hang of it the more you build maps.

I'm not answering your questions, especially because the first one is an assumption you pulled out of your ass. Too bad for you.

Is it possible to make drop pods that actually drop manually? If so how?

They patched it, sadly.

Forgers have made drop pods using crates, barricades, custom power ups, and explosives of sorts. There are tutorials all over the internet, such as this one.

I advise against it though because to be honest it's a waste of crates and barricades. If the host migrates during your match, the drop pods could become unusable.

I'm not that good at doing it either, which is why I just use a skybox canvas when I wanna build a map up there.

They didn't patch it, so you should be able to get through if you know how to do it.

Always up for REACH customs!

Is there a way to make it so people can fly Falcons and drive Wraiths but not operate the Falcon turrets or the Wraith plasma cannon?

You can only disable passenger seating when you are carrying an objective. That means no warthogs, revenents, or mongooses.

The others don't count because the passenger mans a turret.

I don't understand your response. Are you saying there is no way, through custom settings, to make it so you can fly a Falcon but you can't use its guns?

Unfortunately, yes. You can't disable gunner usage, and you can only disable passenger usage for an objective carrier.
