Hi, I am new here. I came here because a friend and I are trying to create a CTF map in Reach in which the flag spawn locations and flag return locations are not the same. This was possible in Halo 3. The flag_return tag seems to cause the marker or plate to be both the flag spawn and capture point. There must be a way to separate the two. Please help.
There is no way to separate the two. It may be fixed in the title update if suggested to 343 industries. You can find our thread on the title update in the Reach Discussion Forum or go the the 343i forums here.
Thank you so much. At least now I know the answer. Bungie sucks. Can you link me to the exact thread?
There may be a way, by manipulating physics. Place the flag spawn in midair, as a Hill Marker. When the round starts, the flag falls. Ergo your flag "spawn" and the return point are now in different places, with the latter being positioned above the former. Remember that Man Cannons and other items affect flags. If you're willing to have some fun with physics, then you can probably construct some mechanism to separate your spawn and your return in a more seamless and flexible manner.
