    Hey there i was just needing a bit of help on my invasion markers on a map i've been building. I have put down hill markers set spawn sequence one for first one and two for second one etc. Then team colour and invasion_obj as the label but when the game starts the objectives do not appear, i don't understand what im doing wrong :(

    Take a look at this basic guide to invasion. If your still having trouble after that I can show you in game because it's hard to understand what you wrote.

    First off, objectives do not have a team specification. Also, make sure your spawn sequence for your objectives is 1 for the two first phase objectives, 2 for the second phase ones, and 3 for the last phase objectives.

    This setup should work for territories. In bomb you also need a hill labelled as Invasion_Obj_Flag for the bomb spawn and the same in core for the core spawn. regular INV_OBJ hills in these two are where you plant the bomb and take the core.

    I'm not sure if this could be the case, but one thing to keep in mind with objectives is that all of them should be set to "place at start" even if they aren't active in the first phase; since the majority of invasion maps have two (or more) objectives in non-core phases, this is quite probable. If they aren't, not all of them will show up when their phases comes around (usually one of the two you meant to have); this is a little glitch/error I found out on my own when I started making invasion maps myself. Spawn sequence (1, 2, or 3 only) will designate which phase they show up in, and they won't show up in the other phases unless you mislabelled them by accident.

    Other than that, team labels aren't really necessary for objectives. Spawning, yes; Elites are blue and Spartans are red, regardless of which side is the attacking team.

    Except that article still presents incorrect configuration information on spawning. If you need to know how to setup player spawns, see The Invasion Spawn Tutorial.
