Post by General_Nate »

Hey I have a question. You know (for instance) the yavin arena tunnle, how it has that cool pink box that lets you cut a hole in the ground? I'd like to make my own, but don't know how... Could somone tell me how to make one please, if possibe? Thanks!

these boxes are called terraincutters they can be part of a model, if you want to make some yourown you have to create them in xsi (there is a tutorial about them) and export them to battlefront like any other model
