No Ability To Create Custom Gametypes On Skyward??

Community General Discussion
1

I’ve been researching for days and I can’t seem to find a way to create a custom Territories Gametype on Skyward.

I would assume switching from “Basic Editing” to “Territories” in Forge and changing settings would allow me to create this gametype for this map but to no avail.

Can some please confirm this or provide an option to do this??
Skyward only seems to have Slayer, Juggernaut, and Infection gametypes available…

I got you. Gimme 5mins to jump into forge and figure it out. I had the same issue with “race” game modes earlier in the week.

Alright, so when you are in forge… I am probably going to repeat stuff you already know, so bear with me I’m just going in-depth.

  1. Start forge with the game type selected as “Territories” (3-plot, incursion, whatever it doesn’t matter)

  2. Create a territory object. Objectives->Zones->Territories

  3. Place and go to advanced options.

  4. In advanced options, similar to old Halo 3 style, you switch the “game label” to a territory marker.

4A. Switching it to the FIRST label named “territories” WILL NOT WORK. This is the same for every game type and makes no sense I know.

  1. Switch it to whatever type of territory game u want. I used “terr_object” which is a basic territory.

  2. Save and back out to custom games. Territories option should appear.

Re-cap:

Selecting the first option of “territories” DOES NOT WORK.

You MUST select another option for it to appear as a game type. H2A is reactive, so it only shows game modes that have a specific objective/goal on the map.

BONUS: This method is required on ALL forge maps for H2A.

Hope this helped :slight_smile:
