    Ok, i know this may not be able to be done, but if it can please tell me. Ok, its a land grab map with Point A being where defense spawns, and point B where offense spawns. So lets say red spawns at point A and blue at point B. After the round, how can i make it so they switch spawning areas. (red and point B and blue at point A) You can say i wanna make a spawning area that is based off of whoever is on offense or defense. Can this be done? Similar to invastion but a territory map instead.

    You would only be able to do this in invasion I believe. Unless territories similarly has an equivalent to Inv_res_p1, 2, 3, which is what you'd use to accomplish this.

    In invasion, you'd place two hill markers where you want the blue team to respawn 1 phase, and the red team to respawn in the second phase. Label one of them team blue and the other team red. Then, for the blue one, change the spawn sequence to five, and the type label to Inv_res_p1. for the red one, change the spawn sequence to five, and inv_res_p2.

    In the first phase of invasion, the blue team will spawn there, and in the second phase the red team will. Repeat these steps, but reverse them, to make the phase 1 red spawn point =]

    I believe it does this automatically.

    Yes, this.

    When setting up the map, set Blue Team as attacking and Red Team as defending. In a game they will automatically switch sides on each round.

    agreed. any asymmetrical game mode does this. Red always starts on defense, then the second round has blue as defense at red's base.

    ok, but this is supossed to be a terriroty map, not invasion. And they switch attack and defense, but the offense spawns where the defenders do and so on... Besides, don't you need a core in invastion? Ok, ima gonna break down my map.

    Its a aerial terrirory map.

    The defending team(red) has a main base that teleports to 3 floating bases. In each base there is a terrirory.

    The offensive team(blue) spawns in a hanger with aircraft and their goal is to fly to these 3 bases and capture them.

    Problem: When the round is over they switch sides(offense and defense), but not spawning areas. Red, now on offense, still spawns in the defense base. Blue, now defending, spawns in the offenseive hanger. They are not spawning where they need to be spawning.

    How do i make this work?

    yes, and it works in an invastion varaint. but i can't get it to work in a land grab territory match. The teams switch offense and def, but not bases. Maybe its the spawn point's label. what are they supposed to be set to if its terriroty land grab. they told me invasion labels but no terr.

    Isn't switching sides the same as switching bases? At least if the bases are on different sides.

    not in this game, i need it so offense always spawns at point A and defense always spawns at point B, but its still territories. You could say im trying to make spawn points off and deff specific rather than team specific. Its not a symetrical map. Defense has 4 bases (one main linked to the other 3 via teleport) and offense just has a hanger base with aircraft. See where im coming from.

    Do you have any pictures to help us out? I think I speak for the majority here when I say I don't comprehend what you're trying to accomplish here.

    Yeah... as long as it's an asymmetrical gametype I'm pretty sure that they switch spawns. Have you tested a game on it yet to see what happens?

    So i put red initial spawns and respawns in the defense base and blue in the offense base. Are you telling me that when the next round starts, red will spawn on blue spawn points and vise versa. Or do i make them neutral? And what label?

    Yeah, that should do it. I just tried it out to verify. Have you started up a game on your map yet to see if it works?
