This has been annoying me since Reach

[xCASx ROB]

What I'm pretty sure every player is aware of and what annoys every good forger. The alignment problem of pieces. The precise coordinates and magnets almost don't help in the end because as we all know once we reload the map, the pieces have shifted slightly. The fact I will make a perfectly straight ground on a map and then go play it, and the pieces shifted in a may that I am now required to JUMP over what should be a "flat" surface. Of all the forge problems this annoys me the most.

Is there a way to get around this? I don't think so. But I'd love if that wasn't a problem in the first place.

I'm not really asking for a way to fix this I'm just bringing it up. But I guess if there is a way, let me know.

usually happens if theres someone with you in the game

 

[xCASx ROB]

Oh it happenes anytime. Annoying as hell huh

 

[Fuzzle]

Not to me

 

[xCASx ROB]

Really? Well then it hasn't happened as often to u or as bad. There will be times in the middle of going around a corner and I'll just stop out of no where cuz there's a piece that has risen up for particular reason at all.

I guess if ur a perfectionist forger like me it would bother you more. But still, It's a real pain when your making small Asthetics and then they get completely screwed up cuz of this problem

To be honest, i never had that problem in reach or so far in halo 4. I don't know if maybe I forge in such a way that this bug doesn't arise. It does sound frusterating though. Just gotta go shoot some noobs in matchmaking for a bit to expend your anger and then come back to it

The annoying part is during custom games when I'm hosting usually. Can't really leave that lol

This has been around since the dawn of forge. Here is the official response from bungie for halo 3. As he notes the objects, like walls, that you turn on the side are the issue. Use blocks that are inherently flat in their original position to mitigate this issue.

Also when you save your map, exit, then reload it in forge check for bumps. When you find one fix it, resave, then reopen your map in forge. Check if the bump is there. If it's gone you've fixed it and it won't twist again in future saves unless you pick it up.

And ur a 100% sure about that

This was once so bad that i had to redo whole segments of the map. After i redid it, it stopped happening though

I had this happen consistently with an Assassin's Creed map. I finished it, then came back to edit it after testing. The ground/floor pieces kept shifting over and down a coordinate or two. I couldn't get it to stay still. I finally got it to stop doing that somehow, but it sure did piss me off.

Yes. Even worse back in the day before the phased option. You'd spend five minutes ghosting the object only to test it and it's a smidge off. Compared to that this is hardly an issue once you know what causes it and how to fix it.

I highly encourage people having this issue to read that short article from bungie
