Floating Platforms

While many objects can float when you place them on a box and remove the box from underneath, not all objects stay in their air and fall when they are hit or bumped. Well there is a solution. If you want to make floating platforms or another object stay in the air and not fall there is a solution!

The first step is to use the floating method previously described in "Floating Objects" You need to have a player float a box or container to the desired height of the object you wish to float. Next place a receiver node (or other type of teleporter node if you run out of receivers or need them) or several weapon holders on the box. Now delete the box once the objects are stable. At this point the node or weapon holders should be levitating. You may not place the object you wish to have act as your floating platform or remain suspended in the air on top of the node or weapon holders. You now have a floating platform!

Note for some objects such as pallets they will shift and fall when players stand on them. To solve this problem place weapon holders on top of the pallets in order to stabilize them so they can act as platforms and not fall.

Stay tuned for future editions of Forge 101!
