Quick vid showcasing the merged flatbars, then one where i removed the ground pad, then I copy-pasted the spot and levitated it to see it from the side.

Omg.. wow

Edit: I can't seem to figure it out either, please elaborate?

ok I think i got it now I will try this and let you know but place ramp and the snap pad to the top of ramp like in the last shot then place droppable then delete pad piece let the droppable fall into place go to options and undo it might put pad back that you deleted but wont move the droppable and put the pad back and abbra cadabra

doesn't work that way

[briden]

Alright, I figured out my own way, can't get it EXACTLY like the original video, but my way works just as well. Here goes, tutorial with Pictures.



The featured droppable object is the Ramp. I have replicated the glitch with other droppables, the key factor is that they must be able to fit INSIDE of a ground pad, any size (including mega, so big stuff will work too).



First things first, make sure Collision is turned OFF. You need to start with your desired droppable object sitting on a ground piece (Let's call this PAD1). You should take time right now to orient the piece and the droppable to how you want the droppable to end up (in this case, two flatbars). This can be done later, but it saves time and effort to figure it out ahead of time.



You now need to create a new pad that will be larger than the droppable object (full size ground pad works for the Ramp, let's call this PAD2). Place the pad so that it completely envelopes the droppable, and PAD1 should be sticking out a little bit from any side, so that it can be easily selected for moving later on. The droppable is now inside of PAD2.



Create a new ground piece big enough to support the droppable, and able to keep the same orientation if you were to flip your object over (this will be PAD3). Place it where you feel the top of the droppable will stick out in the finished piece. This may end up being a game of guess-and-check, since I have experienced a few earthquake moments in this step.



Flip over Pads 1,2,3, and the droppable all at once. The droppable should fall a little ways out of Pad 2 and land on Pad 3.



Now, you will move Pad 1 down towards the droppable, far enough so that when flipped back to the original position, the droppable will once again rest on Pad 1 and stick out as much as you desire. Flip over Pad 1, Pad 2, and the droppable to see where it ends up. Again, this can be a guess-and-check process. Pad 3 is of no use anymore.



Now drop it into your favorite CAP or start from scratch.

Wild briden!

Im going to mess with that right now..
good shit man.

[Ayreon]

anyone got a good list of ungrindables?

[OGBMX420]

anyone got a good list of ungrindables?

A lot of the world terrain ( i think thats what it is im a little baked right now) upside down is ungrindable , I ll give u some picks when psn is up

[briden]

Messed around a bit trying to polish my efforts, using two droppables in one pad and constraining all movement.
Like the stock manual pad but wish it was a little thinner?

Blown-out view from the top with pad removed

Lots of good info in this thread, too much to copy-paste.

that would make a sick sub box !!!!

[Roccityroller]

Oh woorrrd?

[Antwan]

The full size pad works for the ramp..
what does that mean? Haha
I'm lost can't get this shit going

The ground pads come in three different sizes. The Ramp droppable I was using fits inside of the biggest one, you can see it in the pictures. Other droppables fit into smaller pads, and some (the slide, for example) only fit inside the Mega objects.

[OGBMX420]

can use any prop then ? seems like a lot of work for one rail but if u could figure out how to put them in outher objects like stairs then u hit the jackpot LOL

[xRiverKing]

Great job Briden, worked like a fucking charm!!

Can't wait to see this being ripped up, awesome find

[briden]

As far as I know, yes, all props will work. Some of course will be more glitchy than others, but this could be worked around by constraining movement with more ground pads. I only got to dick around for about an hour before class, but tonight I'll put in some work and get some ideas flowing.

[i am a snail]

i am going to have so much fun with this prop thing

sucks for me ! your on 360 right ? some more pics would help

[briden]

Yeah I'm on 360, how far along in the process do you need more pics?

[Boxerman08]

damn Briden, that's an amazing find! the CAP can now be that much more creative by merging droppables with the ground. too sick!

[sk8goat]

good job! thanx for the info

[Ladd279]

Thought id post this I just found it out. When a object is red u can change color/style just move cursor over on to it and push select. Don't click on it and it will work

[MrSnomtn]

Be on the lookout for cool spots, even if you cant skate them. Take a pic or sketch it. I see so much cool stuf in the car... then when i get home i forget about it

anyone else think this needs a stickie?

[old-skooler-34]

I agree with this, as a matter of fact the park I'm working on now is inspired by something I seen in real life. It now looks nothing like what I saw but it kicked off the park which lead to other ideas.

Another idea I've been playing with is grabbing my older parks and re-doing them with new idea's I may have.

[MrSnomtn]

Anybody got any recommendations for the edges of parks and overall ambiance?

also, this thread needs a stickie

[shrednbunch]

how did you select the object inside the ramp i can get it to your put up VIDEO OR EXPLAIN BETTer

[briden]

I zoomed in inside of the big pad and just kept highlighting until it registered. I've never had a real problem with it, to be honest. BUT if you're on xbox, it might be easier to use the cache clearing glitch and just place a pad onto an item.

[kieran]

i know this is late to post on this thread,but how do you make curved stairs,so get inner on on side and wider on the other?(it wound be much help)

Hey Briden i found an easier way to do this ,xbox only, if you uninstall the update you can merge props with pads

[ay platypus]

This is true but you have to merge the pad with the prop not the other way around which means you would have to put the props in before you properly start work on the park.

not necessarily. you can put all the pads and what-not in the park then add the props.

[briden]

He's saying that you can put a pad into a prop, but not the other way around. You still need to add constraints to keep it from earthquaking.

i heard there was a nice castle cap.

I know he makes sick parks so probably. Someone was just talking about it over the mic a bit ago. i also posted the idea in this thread a few weeks ago

searched his profile. found it
