[b]I DID NOT EARN RECON FOR THIS. Bungie gave me Recon for the second most kills in the Valentines Day Tournament.[/b]
[quote]Keep in mind:[/quote] I have a BRAND NEW tutorial, on a TOTTALY different trick! Check it out [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=22614443]here[/url]!
Well, I was messing around with Forge and tried this idea I had out. It works pretty well. And it's really neat. It's a Gate, and you push a button to open it! Just like the Highground gate! Heres how you do it:
>>[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyHDitLIlQo]Video Tut[/url].<<
[b]Steps[/b]
1. Set up an [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=20758970]area[/url] you want the gate to be placed in.
2. Put up a [b]secured[/b] "[url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=20759164]gate[/url]" with 4 Weapon Holders supporting the back, and 2 supporting the front sides. You can do this by: placing the Weapon Holders on Crates, then deleting the Crate. [b]/[/b] Or you could just use a Dumpster instead of a Barrier all together.
(Properties: Place on Start = Yes, Respawn Rate = Never, Instant Repsawn)
3. Place a "[url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=20759714]button[/url]" wherever you like. This will activate The gate.
(Properties: Place on Start = Yes, Respawn Rate = Never)
4. Place a [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=20759875]Gravity Lift[/url] that is on a downward angle, being held by a Weapon Holder. Take note, it does NOT have to be on a Double Box. You may want to put this in a "Behind the Scenes" spot.
(Properties: Place on Start = Yes, Respawn Rate = Never)
5. Next, place a [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=20760153]Fusion Coil[/url] directly over the Gravity Lift, about one Single Box above. Then delete the Single Box.
(Properties: Place on Start = No, Respawn Rate = 180, Runtime Minimum = 1)
6. Then, place a [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=20760301]Gravity Lift[/url] [b]aiming down[/b] at the "gate". Make sure the Gravity Lift is being held by a Weapon Holder. [b]/[/b] Or, you could make the Gravity lift on a upward angle, then make a roof so the "gate" hits the top and sticks (this way the "debris" of tne "gate" isn't on the ground). You may want to set up walls around the "tube" the "gate" is sent up.
(Properties: Place on Start = No, Respawn Rate = 180, Runtime Minimum = 1)
7. You have finished the hard stuff! Now all you have to do is add a prize, such as: a [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=20760574]Vehicle[/url], a Weapon, a Flag, Access to more of the map, etc. Get creative, and have fun with it.
Make sure you ONLY have 2 Fusion Coils, and 2 Gravity Lifts on the map at any time.
[b]How to use it[/b]:
1. Find your Button
2. Blow it up
3. The gate opens.
4. Run through it!
Keep in mind this works on any map. And It dosen't have to be Barriers for the "gate".
I have this map (right now) on my [url=http://www.bungie.net/stats/Halo3/FileShare.aspx?gamertag=Iguana117]File Share[/url]. Also, I have a pre-built Gate with nothing around it, except the Button. Download it [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=21121957]here[/url].
Also, this Gravity Lift trick can be used to make lots of different thngs, like and elevator.

only problem with it is that if you make this gat you can't have any other fusion coils or grav lifts. =(
-
no ones ever made a gate beore and it can realy change our maps to the way we want it. how would you do this on avalanche though, I have this map that I'd like to have a giant gate in it. [Edited on 07.10.2008 2:42 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Majorajors A way to improve this gate is to make a button you have to touch to open. Your button must be either an overshield, an active camo, or a custom powerup. First you should know that once one of these has set, or frozen so it won't move, it becomes solid, so it can hold up items. This means that it can hold up fusion coils. What you want to do is make a hole in an area just big enough to let a fusion coil drop through, and have one of the powerups holding it up, but is also sticking through part of a box, wall, etc. enough so you can grab it. When you grab the powerup, it will drop the fusion coil onto the activation grav lifts. It seems sort of complicated, but if you want a better idea of making it, check out the map pallet parade from forgehub.com. It uses a button like this for activating the conveyor belt. [/quote] OMFG Thank you soooooooooooooooooooo much. its like a button. It IS a button! Can I use this?

Okay. I am going to make this as plane and simple as i can. Did he invent the gate? No. He is simply introducing it to the genral public, and scince there is no one person that the invention can be traced down to, SHUT THE -BLAM- UP! We get it. Stop acusing him just for advertising an idea. He knew the tread would be popular because.... well the genral public LOVES recon. He took this to his advantige an created a tut for it. My hats off to you. 5/5. I found this thred just in time (im making a map with a gate). TY!!!! Edit: I just read the post on page 12....... I would like to say sorry about your father.
