We all know that this is the biggest forge to date but I have an idea to make it even bigger. What I have been thinking of is an advanced and simple mode for the editor. The simple mode would be forge currently, buttons to spawn items in and customize the whole map. But the advanced mode would be more along the lines of proper game development level builders.
With an advanced mode and this new prefab system the possibilities for forge would be completely endless. So now to get into the ideal features I would want in this (feel free to post your suggestions for this below):
-
An environment shaping toolThe environment shaping tool allows you to create anything from rolling hills to tremendously tall mountains. With the vast amount of chiseling options and 3D object insertion and deletion tools you can create anything.
-
Texture DesignerEver wanted to design your own texture for your forge map? Now you can! With this texture designer you can design your textures to your liking and upload them to the texture prefabs system or you can keep them completely private to you. Whatever you choose to do with this is up to you.
-
Object BuilderThe Object Builder allows you to make objects for your map and for the prefab system. With this comes a vast array of variables and functions for you to use to develop your very own buttons, targets, physical blocks, platforms and more! By combining this with the script builder you can create anything from simple moving objects to complex AI! The object builder includes all the premade textures and forge blocks.
-
Script BuilderWith our script builder you can use either our random number generator or variable system to create anything from AI to randomly moving platforms and weapon spawns. The Script Builder is designed to suit any level of programming knowledge with it’s statement selection list and variable selection list. Use this in combination with the Object Builder for the best results.
-
Spawning ToolOur spawning tool allows you to place spawn points for AI and Players. This is perfect for fine tuning your spawn points for your arena, warzone and campaign maps.
> TL:DR

> - Option for Simple and Advanced Forge Modes - Advanced includes script builder, object builder, spawning tool, texture designer, environment shaping tool - Would make possibilities endless for forge and the community
I believe this would enhance the Halo experience and great things will come of this. And if this is implemented, please make a tutorial…
