This only works on orthogonal intersections though. There are other techniques for other scenarios but I can't be bothered to teach them all right now.

	HangMan: BF2 Editor, it has very strict limitations memory wise, and crashes all the time. Its like a girl. Treat it with respect and take it slow and you'll get places. Rush and get ahead of yourself and it will turn around and punch you in the mouth
