Floating Objects

One of the most frequently asked questions that people ask us is "How do I make objects float?"

Well the answer is actually quite simple. In order to make objects float you will need the assistance of another player or an extra control. Have another player hold a crate or container in the air at the desired floating location and height. Then place the object you wish to have float on top of the crate. Once the object is stable delete the crate, and you will have a floating object. Note that all objects do not stay suspended and will fall from the height whenever they respawn. Some objects that fall include fusion cores and weapons. Other objects will stay suspended until they are hit or bumped by a player so you cannot use this method alone to create floating platforms, but the method can be applied effectively to teleporters, weapon holders, and other various objects.

In later Forge 101 topics I will explain how to apply this method to make a series of constant falling fusion cores and how to make floating platforms.
