    Hey, I'm making a map that I want to use for infection. I'm having some difficulty trying to assign spawn points for survivors and for zombies. I want the zombies to spawn in one area and survivors to spawn in another, how should I set up the ownership for the spawn points?

    Zombies = Blue Team
    Humans = Red Team

    The "INF_SPAWN" gametype label doesn't do anything, you don't need it. To make spawn points that only work in Infection, set their "Gametype Specific" attribute to "True" and give them the "INFECTION" or "INF_SPAWN" label.

    Make sure you place Initial Spawns and Respawn Points. That way, people don't start the round in weird places outside the map, and zombies don't respawn outside the map. Respawn Points can be made Neutral and placed inside of team-owned Respawn Zones, and they'll behave as though that team owns them; Initial Spawns don't seem to do the same thing, though, so you need to explicitly set their owner.

    The way infection works now, if you die as a human you become a zombie (even if the zombie doesn't kill you) so having respawn points for the survivors wont matter. But i am not sure if you can change this option. Make sure you set the spawns to red team and blue team not colour red & blue.

    Actually if you don't use the infection spawn label, the gametype won't be compatible.Everything else is true though.

    Funny. My map works just fine with not a single INF_SPAWN present, and Bungie themselves admitted that that label does nothing. Sure you're not thinking of INF_HAVEN?

    The only Required object for an infection map is a HAVEN, even if it isn't used
