Building a house (Sorry this is kinda a repost)

[D€vIL²]

Yeah, if you saw my thread before you would have seen my attemt to make some kind of shack or shelter:

well I tried again and worked hard on it so I wanted to share it somewhere here are some pics of it along with my process to achieving it without the whole thing spazing out then breaking apart (if you have worked with wood in this mod you know what I mean).

the hard part was making each wall attach, I definitly wasted alot of time on this.

Hey bassman, is it possible to have 2 welds holding 2 objects together?

 

[Ghost Freeman]

Call me a nub, but how do you weld?

I think I know what you mean, if you see my other post about "Building a house" you will see that I would pin one end of the board then used a cinderblock to hold up it up and then pin the oppposite end.

You can see I would put a welding pod (as I like to call them) on each board then i would attach another board across to make all of them not fly around, here:

ummm..... the way of getting strait nice welds is alot easier when your using a beam and then try to weld all the planks on to it because once you put the "welding pods" in the right places then have them connect oand your "welding gun" turns RED all I had to do was move the mouse up and down and it would pivot left and right.

nice. wait 'til you see mine .

 

[OD-Black_Fire]

ok im going back to blowing stuff up instead , making this made me crazy. :rolling:

 

[kaf11]

i can never get it to do several welds at once. is that even possible? i have to do all of mine seperately.

 

[Biggleska]

Sorry, but where do you get building blocks?

No I meant the same 2 objects with 2 welds instead of one. For strength, y'know? Kindof like this --> |:|

oh... yeah.... but its hard
you have to take one peice place the two welding pods then take the other peice then place the pods lined up in the exact spot as the other. then once you connect them (while the beam is red) you have to adjust the peice that your controlling so that it lines up with the other set of pods. its hard. so then if you did it well your should be able to click on the peice and weld it. its hard to explain, thats the best I can tell. you may have to do it a few times, i always quick save it before I do anything that could possibly fuk it all up.
