    The reason I am asking about this is I was wondering if a player would be considered: "In the Hill", while wielding a sword or some other unique weapon?

    also is there a way of doing this in invasion like making a weapon into a territory?

    If anyone has any info on this i would appreciate it if you post.

    Someone made a VIP style game that requires planting the bomb on a player's armor ability. In short yes it is possible.

    Alright just asking because I have tried creating gametypes where the Sword was the oddball but that never seemed to work.

    I made a game where a sniper was the hill (KotH). It won't work in games with objectives that need held.

    The difference is when you say a weapon is a hill, then it is a hill. When you say it is a flag or bomb, it SPAWNS the flag or bomb. I tried marking a mongoose the odd ball for rocket hog, and I got a rocket hog spawning on top of the mongoose. Had a hard time driving it off the mongoose too.

    Yeah I have seen a spawn work as koth working in a asymmetric style gametype. Weapons are used in halo ball gametype to open doors make things disappear. I haven't tried in other gametypes, assault would only spawn at the location of the weapon but it wouldnt become the weapon. I haven't tried other gametypes but I will investigate further.

    Now I got a crazy idea, converting a falcon into a safehaven. Great for last stands in infection.

    yeah that worked well in prisoner map. The safe haven lights the way to see escaped prisoners
