Hey guys, Im having trouble stacking objects in bases. I've reat Kats guide and every time I hold and rotate it automatically puts the object down, any help is appreciated.


Thanks

Gday Bruce, (Sorry couldn't resist.)
Which side and server are you on?
Am sure someone could show you how to do floating/stacked objects.
(Roll on issue 13 and hopefully some useful SG base changes.)

I have hero characters on union and villains on defiant,
so if I can be of any help and your SG base is in either of those let me know.

I’ll have a look for you when I’m logged in to the game, but if I remember it’s left click to place and right click to rotate (while holding the left mouse button, maybe).

I’ve got to say, I read all the guides to stacking, tried it all out, did the seven rotations when the moon was in the seventh quarter and wore my rustic hat and still got no where with it. If you wait two or three months there will hopefully be some base lovin’ in the next issue. You should also keep in mind that there is always a certain quota of Doom the dev’s have to get in to the issue and in the next one it could be that all the stacks fall down.

LeighB, it's the Rustic Flattop Desk with 9 (or 10) rotations, desk draws all need to point east (or south) after the rotations and you can then stack above them.

Ah Ive got it, you just click the cabinet, then rotate.

So its, add a cabinet without placing it and give it 2 clicks.

Then place the cabinet on the floor and click somewhere else so your not on the cabinet anymore.

Then click the cabinet and give it 4 rotation turns. Then click off it again, click back and give it 4 more turns, then once again click off it, click back and give it 4 more turns.

Finally, click off the cabinet and then click it again and give it 3 turns, then get another cabinet and repeat.

Put both next to each other and you can put an object on. To make the object look as if its floating drag the cabinets underneath the object to another room.


Voila, you have a floating object. Add more cabinets for bigger objects or to stack more cabinets on

Erm, you can do the 9 clicks without letting go of it btw.

See, this is the kind of thing that confuses the average base build (or at least the really slow one, like me).

I’m still waiting for October.
