The forge is great, but it’s not closer to perfect than it could be.
There a few, maybe unseen, issues in Halo 5’s forge.
First to last:
- Vehicle inclusions in prefabs
This is an issue since groups require some sort of pivot. In multiple cases, people who have thought/created/suggested prefab ideas with vehicles can not simply make a structure of some sort and toss the vehicles in there. They would probably have to add it each time. - Vehicle Collisions
It, as far as it is known, is no longer possible to create vehicles with creative attachments. After the recent “Monitor’s Bounty” update, it is in a glitch type of state. The vehicles with welds are very unstable and will fly off if mounted, most of the time. Rephrasing the first piece, it is possible to create them, but they are very glitchy. - Entity permissions
Oh how it would be nice to create maps with people watching in the process. To bad, people can not be trusted all the time in forge. Maybe a permissions list can be added so only certain things can be executed or accomplished by players with specific permissions. - Weight Option
What if weight could be changed. This would expel vehicle stress. Before it was broken, vehicle welding was neat, until some stuff got really heavy with certain objects. - No Collisions
Can be used to help out with dangling or over hanging objects on vehicles so they can have a smooth ride without getting caught on ground.
THE BIGGEST ONE OF ALL!
- Groups/Welded Groups Single Ungroup/Unweld
Making a mistake when creating large groups is a pain. It means you have to ungroup and re-select ALL of the objects to group again. Or maybe, you just want something out of a group after a change of mind. This is particular problem for prefabs and maps. It causes organization to make map production much slower than it really, honestly should be. If only there were an option to take out a single or small group of objects in an entire large group.
These are ideas that some people, if it ever came to mind, may want. I know for a fact that I would. These also help fix issues currently in forge so the creativity can be expanded!
DISCLAIMER: I expect this won’t be looked at by anyone having to do with Halo 5 production. I want to know the general “Halo 5” player’s ideas.
