how do you make holes in objects with wings 3d not square but multiple shapes

Ok, seriously, name your threads more descriptivly. No one want's to answer a thread called "Help again 5h!t".
Example name: "Wings 3d hole problem"

Anyway, I don't understand what you mean. What kind of shape, like a triangle? Just delete a vertecie and reconnect the edges, if you want more polys just subdivide the hole, or extrude the vertecies.

You mean delete the faces and connect the vertices.

If you mean you want to punch a hole through an object, simply Inset and bridge.

Inset the faces you want to hole on both sides of the object. Then modify the faces to the shape of the hole you want. Then select them both and use the bridge command. Viola, instant hole.

By the way, I don't appriciate topic subjects like "Help again 5h!t". That is totally unnecessary and insulting to my intelligence, not to mention how badly it reflects on yours. You're already at -4 rep, I rather not add my opinion to those just yet...

cool but how do you make circular holes

By changing their shape?
Cut edges and move vertices.

Note that you can't actually make a real circle as it has to use polygons, but it can look like one. (this is true of all 3d games)

8 vertices should be enough to make a convincing round shape on a small scale. If you are making something bigger like a vent shaft that the player needs to walk through, 12-16 may be justifiable. If it's something HUGE (like that big rotating fan thing in that one level of halo2) then go even higher.
