    I'm somewhat new to forging, so this may be a simple question. I am trying to make a one bomb assault map and am having trouble with the spawning. How do i get the defenders to spawn at certain points and the offenders to spawn at certain points. I cannot assign the spawn points team colors considering that the teams will alternate between defense and offense each round. I checked the game type labels but found nothing of relevance. Please help.

    If I am correct, it is the same thing for 1 Flag, meaning set a respawn zone down for whatever team you want attacking first as one color, then set another one down for the other team defending. Or you can do, the preferable choice, set a anti-respawn zone down for whatever opposite team on each side. The anti tends to work better because it does not let defenders spawn on the offense's side and it does not allow the offense to spawn on the defender's.

    Setting anything to red team is actually just setting it to "defenders". So In one flag, in round two blue team will actually be defending and spawn in the zones you have set to red team and with the flag set to red team. It's the same for other asymmetrical gametypes as well. Just remember, red = defense, blue = offense.

    Is it possible to use respawn points instead of a respawn zone?

    I believe red respawn points would spawn blue team if blue was on defense, but I'm ot positive. Luckily, you can easily test this with a guest. I wouldn't suggest using team set respawn points, but it's up to you.

    Actually, in one bomb, or one flag, assigning a respawn point to blue team will make that spawn point work with the blue team the first round and then the red team the second round.

    You can use only respawn points if you wish, you don't need respawn zones. Respawn Zones are used to define boundaries for a team, but if the Respawn Point is assigned to a team already, then it is not necessary to define boundaries. The Respawn Zone usually is used with neutral assigned Respawn Points.
