Hey nom? Do you mind dropping your GT? So we can see your file share? Also would love to do some custom in your maps.

[@GammaJack7]

That would be awesome! Your maps are second to none 👍

Is it possible to save your maps as prefabs, or in prices as prefabs, and bring them into a canvas?

@@grayanimate7166 Not officially, but we're investigating if we can use that mechanic. Some people have managed to do so with smaller prefabs, but I have very large maps, which adds a layer of difficulty!

I’ve always tried forging on Halo 3 and Reach and despite it being much simpler I always struggled with unleashing my creativity. Hopefully with Infinite forge I can actually make some cool things now and express myself. A tutorial series would really benefit people who struggle like me! Thank you for your work! It truly is inspiring!

[@notsafef0rlife]

It's so much easier to feel like a good forger on infinite. Much less doing weird things to make something sorta resemble something else. We got actual flowers and mushrooms and all sorts of stuff so the small details are much easier because we don't have to pretend things look like other things. Sorry if that made no sense

[@A_Bag_of_Potatoes]

Honestly I feel the exact opposite, with H3 & Reach forge I had a predetermined direction via simplicity. All these intricate options with nearly an infinite potential causes me to have a choice overload it's crippling, so many choices I can't make a single one or stick with it if I do choose one due to vision/motivation changes over x period of time.

[@ap1evideogame44]

@@A_Bag_of_Potatoes Yeah I get the whole overload of options thing. Whenever I have too many options, something I do is just pick whatever I see first, so I know what it does and if it's any good. Learn one thing, then move on to the next.

[@jamiehughes5573]

Crazy how far it has gone, I remember the original forge in halo 3 and how limited it was, then reach's forge was a step above

[@RagbagMcShag]

I hope they fix some of the usability issues but other than that it seems powerful and it looks like you can make very intricate maps with it

The fact that you can script a door, when doors in videogames are notoriously difficult to develop, just shows to me personally, that Halo Infinite's forge is incredibly advanced.

[@dewdrop3009]

So glad for this, I'm extremely intimidated by how advanced the forge has become. Yet im thrilled at it's potential

[@krauserduke1234]

This is already super helpful! About 60 minutes into forging blindly by myself last night and all I figured out was how to scale objects, move/rotate them incrementally, and duplicate them (individually and by grouping). So much to learn!

[@notsafef0rlife]

Trust me it gets much easier. Once you get the muscle memory you start building real quick.

[@ravee-eh4dd]

How do we stretch the object like a cube into a rectangle or a ball into a flat object

[@krauserduke1234]

@@ravee-eh4dd So I've only used a controller so far (probably much easier on mouse+keyboard) but on controller you select an object (RB), then hold both triggers (and keep them held down the whole time), press A, use the left analogue to highlight a specific axis, then press A again. Then only that axis will scale to "stretch" something like a cube into a rectangle, etc.

[@crankyeskimo3362]

The demonstration of the door, while complicated, shows such potential for this game going forward. I cant think of the word i want to use but many unforseen possibilities will come out of releasing these options to the world to play with.

[@KhevinMituti]

This is so cool. Forge was what brought me to Halo 3 and really solidified my FPS childhood. Thank you so much for this, I'm so excited to try it out.

I tried forge yesterday and thought "man I wish Red Nomster had made a tutorial video" .. my wish has been granted thank you 🙏

[@MyNamesChai]

Absolute legend! Thank you for this man. I played around earlier but scripting is where I got lost. This gives at least a little more insight

I have played around with this quite a bit, and although its less intuitive off the bat from the previous forge iterations, its unbelievable what you can create and I'm really excited to just spend hours in this. As you said its important to learn all the tools first because it helps you start off to avoid developing bad habits. Hope you continue this series because I'll be watching.

[@Undune]

I love the tutorial looking at how deep you can go in the latest Forge! Is there any chance down the road you will cover your planning process and blocking out the level? I took a quick peek at Forge yesterday, and I didn't even know where to start

[@RedNomster]

Level design is part 3, scripting advanced is part 2 :) coming this week I hope!

[@sinmethodical1837]

I was kinda worried because a lot of the forgers I watched from halo five have since abandoned the series. I'm glad there are new people (you've probably been around for a while but I barely found you), that will take up the forge content mantel.

I did the same thing with halo lore videos already when a bunch of the big names switched to controversy videos instead of lore, figured I could do the same with forge because I have passion for both 😎

I've always been a forge builder in all previous Halo games, but I must say, this is truly revolutionary when it comes to building. Makes me wonder if this is why there has been such a lack of content and maps for the game in the year it's been out because these devs have been so hard at work at making this tool.

I remember back in Halo 4, making a door involved explosives and lifts and lost of patience to make sure it all holds together without blowing yourself up on it

[@RedNomster]

Halo 3 too! Dumpsters held up by gravity lifts that would fall (opening the "door") if you picked up a powerup, because that powerup was stopping a fusion coil from being launched into the lifts holding up the dumpsters. The lifts would respawn, closing the door automatically Good times

[@honskidesign9856]

Would definitely welcome more videos getting deeper and more advanced! One of the first things I did was make a random weapon on spawn with the Weapon Combinations(i.e. AR with M41 Tracker ammo). Essentially, used the every N seconds set to an arbitrary time for each weapon combination, then use the delay field the divide up the arbitrary N that I set by how many weapon combinations I made. Then I set a global variable to be that weapon which gets changed each time a new 'every N second' event occurs. So, with every 1 second and using delays of .1 second, you get 10 combos. every 5 seconds with .1 sec delays gives you 50 combos. The time starts at game start, and the time at which the player spawns determines which weapon they will get. Unfortunately, every player starts with the same weapon currently, but just wanted to share something I built. Cheers!

[@RedNomster]

Sounds cool, I'm sure there's some math you could do to create an artificial randomizer but I'm a fan of simplifying a process, even if it means it's not 100% what it's meant to be. Tbh starting the game with the same weapon sounds even better to me!

10:52 Alternatively, there's a Reset node that can reset the position/rotation/velocity of an object to the state it was in when the brain loaded. Like some of the other comments, I wasn't able to get the hinge to work with the normal physics, but using phased (and therefore no finagling with normal objects) works just as well. I also translated the "button" far away so it couldn't be interacted with again while the door was open and used 2 Reset nodes to get both back to the closed positions.
