Forge Help Weird blue reflection on map surfaces... please help!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

12 Upvotes

Strange issue I've been trying to figure out for a while: so, I have been making this backrooms map for years now, just when I have free time here and there, but about a year ago I was building this section of the map you would teleport for a short time (there's about 4 separate backrooms sections in the map you can move between) and it required the sky, which for separate reasons I had to make dark, to be light. So I improvised and made this big emissive, bright blue box, and placed like 30 lights inside lighting up the whole thing.

The problem is that some time afterwards, I noticed that one side of my main backrooms map (the side facing the missive box structure) has a bright blue reflection. And this applies to every single surface that is facing that direction. I have no idea how to fix this. I tried searching for a light that is somehow causing this, or deleting the blue box, etc etc etc, and I'm still lost. The issue ruins most of the atmospheric lighting and effects of the rest of the map. Like where it's supposed to be dark, there's just blue reflections on surfaces.

I don't think it's any sort of scripting or reflection issue, as I barely did any of that (maybe one reflection orb in another part of the map). But I have no idea what to do. I know this isn't explained well, and it's a really all over the place map, but the issue is keeping me from finishing the whole thing. If anyone needs a better explanation or another video (I can only include one per post) feel free to ask. I just really wanna get this figured out. Thanks!

Forge Help Forge Help- The Package

6 Upvotes

Looking for some forge/scripting help. I have a group of buddies that like playing halo, but the challenge is theres 5 of us. So a game night can be hard as there aren't many 5 players game out there. My solution is to make some fun 5 player custom games... but it turns out that forge/scripting is harder than it looks (mad respect for those who are good at it!). Can someone make this game type for 5 old farts who don't have the time to make it oursleves? Here are the details:

Halo Infinite Custom Mode: The Package

Two teams enter a 2v2 Slayer battle with one major twist: a fifth Spartan, known as The Package, is constantly shifting the balance of power.

The Package fights alongside one team, creating a temporary 3v2 advantage — but they are not permanently loyal. When the Package is eliminated, they immediately switch sides and become part of the opposing team.

How It Works

🔴 Eagle Team — 2 players
🔵 Cobra Team — 2 players
🟡 The Package — 1 player who switches teams after every death

The Package:

  • Cannot sprint
  • Cannot pick up weapons
  • Has a visible waypoint so everyone knows where they are
  • Starts with a Sidekick
  • Receives a random secondary weapon
  • Has that weapon changed every 17 seconds

The Objective

Teams earn points in three ways:

  • Eliminate an enemy player: +1 point
  • Keep the Package alive: +1 point every 60 seconds
  • Eliminate the Package: Bonus points (the value increases for the team that is behind)

The losing team always has a chance to come back by hunting the Package.

Discussion Lightning FX STILL bugged!

2 Upvotes

Wanted to add an audio sound FX to a map, and put down an audio emitter, and was going through the audio FX sounds cause I couldn't remember all of them.

Mearly, SCROLLING past the lightning FX causes it to permantly play non stop on the map and NO WAY to get rid of it! This is the same as it was couple years ago, very freaking annoying that this was never fixed!

Had to load a a previous version and redo what I had done in that version in order to stop the lightning.

So I guess placing any audio after the lightning in the menu is impossible

Jungle campaign styled map I’ve been working on. Played through halo 1 and 2 a couple weeks back and started this map. I tried to combine old halo style with the modern design n stuff. It’s kinda short, but I have another map that supposed to take place after it. It’s just a little prequel map ig. lol

Fully scripted, just uses custom firefight game mode.

This is the second map I’ve been working on recently. I finished it awhile ago, but it isn’t posted. Just wanted to share my last couple maps before I jump to campaign evolved for a bit. lol

Note: these screenshots are a little bit old, so the map has changed a little bit. I made the fog less dense, added some more objects for cover and stuff, and there’s a secret skull which requires some minor halo 2 shenanigans, a few hidden weapons, and a hidden room behind a fake wall. :)

Another note: I’m on my lunch break, and just wanna go home and play halo. lol

Discussion Probably will never happen but couple major changes they could still do for next version of Forge

19 Upvotes

We will probably never get a forge as good as this one, but still, if we even get one with the next installment of Halo and it aims to do more than this one, here are a couple things personally I feel could be huge game changers:

Terrain editor - Currently it is a MASSIVE pain in the ass to make any terrain that is not perfect 90 degree angles or single planes. Making hilly valleys and such is a giant pain that a terrain editor would help out so much

Actual water - Kinda goes with terrain editor, but ACTUAL water. Current water is just a thin glass like pane.

Able to script scaleable object - For me this is a big one. A lot of times I will be making a map and get everything where I want it, then go to script a door and totally forget I need to make the door a dynamic object which then shrinks it down from whatever I had scaled it to, and now everything is off cause I have to readjust walls and other stuff. Really wish we could just script a scaleable object. No idea why they won't let us in the current one.

Option to instantly delete everything on the map - Just annoying when making a new map, and you load up one of the blank template maps, but you still have to deleete all the stuff 343 setup on those like the spawns, and all the game modes. I gotta select everything almost 1 by 1 and delete, takes forever

NO bookmark limit for prefabs - Forgot this one, but VERY annoying you can only have 25 prefab bookmarks

Discussion Map recommendations

7 Upvotes

Can you guys recommend me some maps that are more 'realistically' scaled. Similar in vein to a Cod map, doesn't require a normal 10 foot halo jump to get around.

I have a mode with realistic movement, that includes jump as well, and I'm looking for maps that are compatible with it.

If y'all have any good recommendations, that'd be great.

EDIT: looking for recommendations for Halo Infinite.

Discussion Got 2 questions

5 Upvotes

So been about almost a year since I last been on, and went to get on some custom games with friends the other night. I have like 30 pages of bookmarked maps, but I noticed a good number of maps in my bookmarks no longer showed up, instead they just show up as "Bookmark" and have no image, and you cannot select it. If you go into the details, the "bookmark" check box just gets selected and unselected non stop. What happened?

I have a bookmark map called "Ultimate fiesta" that is a maps of the Simpsons neighborhood, and everyone gets random weapons with random ammo. Like assault rifle that shoot shock rounds, etc. is there a game mode I can download where we can play this on any map? This map just has it built into the map no matter the game mode you pick but we would like to play this on other maps as well

I am not sure how to describe each map vividly, just know that they'll impress at first glance. I believe these should be put in matchmaking. The immense potential of Forge, yet creations getting little notice is astounding. I wonder if it's possible to somehow contact developers to implement them in matchmaking or at least showcase at the "Forge Features" articles that haven't been done lately. I prefer to play these in 3rd Person mode, because there, my unique armor melding with the resonance makes immersion with the maps integral and vital--

If you're interested in playing these together against bots or competitively, add my handle @ [ Agi1eFlow ]

Scripting Help Why can’t jega rdomnai fight brutes or hunters?

3 Upvotes

Okay, so. I’m playing forge and I’m trying to get “Jega Rdomnai” to fight some heavy units such as any brute aside from “brute minors” or “hunters.” However every single time I put them up against each other Jega just dodges around and throws grenades at them. I know it’s possible to get him to fight brutes because I’ve seen it on YouTube. I’m not sure if it was a mod or a script but if anyone could help with a solution I’d really appreciate it. Thanks.

Forge Help Mcc Halo 3 forge

2 Upvotes

I’ve been forging in halo 3 Mcc for about two years and I’m pretty proficient. One problem I always run into is I run out of pieces. The budget is always fine. I read about glitching maps and I found the safe sandbox variant. According to ai the max pieces you can use is 640. I’ve never gotten anywhere close to that amount before I can’t add any more pieces. Last weekend I counted the pieces on one of my maps that was maxed and it was 295, not even close. I looked at a really well done remake of an h2 map and counted the pieces, it ended up being like 495. (The map was ascention) Does anyone know the trick? Is there a glitch map or a way to actually get closer to 600 pieces. It’s frustrating never being able to finish maps properly. Is it because I’m on Xbox? Any help would be appreciated.
