Hey Waypoint, was interested in forging. Used to forge cool stuff on Halo: Reach, 4 than 5 but I’m having difficulty just playing the game. I’m not a mouse and keyboard guy and it keeps launching as if that is my only input on PC.
When I try with controller I don’t know whats going on, is it a me problem? I see everyone forging some great maps, I realize this takes more effort than ever and respect that. How are people overcoming these challenges?
Change the forge control scheme to legecy and see if that helps you
Never used forge in Halo 4 or 5, but compared to 3 and Reach the learning curve is much higher. Also, can’t speak to controller use as I am on PC using M&K.
However, I would say don’t let the learning curve scare you! I would push through, and you’ll find navigating and manipulating objects becomes second nature with time. Plus, it puts you a lot closer to working with other level editors like the Unreal or Unity Game Engine level creators. Expand your knowledge, you can do it!
Edit: apparently, we’re not allowed to share YouTube links?
Search “Unreal Engine: Moving, Rotating, and Scaling” on YouTube.
and see the video for an example on similarities between Forge and Unreal Editor. A good skill to learn!
This, the scripting, everything about forge has me understanding a switch to Unreal. It’s def believable. Starting to feel like a good play mebbe
