Hey guys! I've been working on an invasion map where the spartans are attacking and elites are defending, but after phase 1 a few of the elites spawn out of the map! Is there any way this can be prevented? I've checked the elite spawns while playing with just me and an idle guest, and the elites' spawning works fine for all phases. Is there any way I can fix this issue? Thanks! I've made sure there are at least 2 zones for each team on each phase.
you need to have respawn zone for each fire-team, (and I would advise a back field spawn) I forget the exact tag, but it is something like "RES_ZONE_P#" where the # is the phase number set one each of these to spawn sequences 1, 2, and 3 I think that should make it work
The thing is, you need to assign the zones to fireteams, by changing the spawn sequence to 1, 2, or 3. I think.
0, 1, and 2 respectively. see this article If everything is setup and you still see problems, put your map on the file share and I will take a look see...
I set the zones to INV RES P1, P2, and P3, and it still doesn't work. Some of the elites still spawn out of the map. The weird thing is that half the elites spawn in the map and half don't. I will put my map on my file share. It is the map "Invasion: Temple". It has a gametype with the same name as the map, so dl that too just to see how I set it up. I think it has something to do with where each set of elites are assigned to which spawn. For example, whenever i play invasion on Boneyard, I sometimes spawn at the left zone for phase 1 and sometimes spawn at the right one for phase 1, so I think some people are assigned to 1 zone while another is assigned to another zone. Thank you all for your help. I really appreciate it!
Yes. The problem is that although you are using the INV_RES_P1, ..._P2, and ..._P3 labels properly, you are not using their Spawn Sequences properly. You know how in Invasion, each team is broken into little "mini-teams", right? And you can only spawn on the person that's on your mini-team? Well, the official name for those mini-teams is "Fireteams". It's possible to make a spawn area only usable for one Fireteam. You do this (for INV_RES_Px labels) by setting the Spawn Sequence. Values of 0, 1, and 2 correspond to a specific Fireteam. If you give an INV_RES_Px area a Spawn Sequence of 3 or higher, then all of the Fireteams can use it. (This is how Elites get different spawns in Boneyard. Each spawn area is set to only allow a specific Elite Fireteam to use it.) So your problem is that not all of your Fireteams are able to use your spawn areas. The absolute quickest and simplest fix would be to find all of your INV_RES_Px areas, and give all of them a Spawn Sequence of 3. This will allow each Fireteam to use each spawn area.
Thank you so much! This helped TREMENDOUSLY, not only on this map, but in future maps! I completely understand now and I'm going to go fix this as soon as I can. Thank you!
