If I am playing a multi-flag gametype on a symmetrical map, shouldn't I set all spawn points to neutral? Also, if all maps I make are intended for such gameplay would I ever need to make attacker/defender spawn points etc. seeing as how they are both on offense and defense at the same time? Spawn areas that I set for CTF or Oddball, will they be used for those gametypes alone or for every gametype? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Ok, set all spawn's to neutral if you want both teams to spawn there. I prefer setting them to Att/Def near the starting point and toward the middle some neutrals. No, just because it's symmetrical mult-flag doesn't mean there's Attacker/Defender For spawn areas, I don't think so.
If go set up a spawn area in a certain gametype; KoTH, CTF, etc... and not "All Gametypes", then the spawn areas will only be on that one gametype.
YAY!!! My specialty!!! **Important** Set ALL regular spawn points to neutral. Only set teams for starting spawn points. Use spawn areas to cover whichever points you want the teams to spawn at. Do this ALL of the time, regardless of the game. It is good to get into a good habit. Now, if the game types is semmetrical, Attacker and Defender refer to team number (Defender being 1st Team and Attacker being 2nd Team). The map being symmetrical DOESN'T make both teams technically Attackers and Defenders. If you thought that way then you would start thinking that if there was a 3rd or 4th team, since its symmetrical they are both attackers and defenders so they need those type of spawn points to respawn. THIS STATEMENT IS FALSE!!! Remember: On symmetrical gametypes, substitue Defenders for 1st Team and Attackers for 2nd Team... or else you will confuse yourself. And yes Spawn Areas, Starting Points, and Objectives will only show up on the corresponding gametype...
