Help With Invasion Respawns

DrummerD00d77 · Aug 30, 2012

I'm almost done fixing an old map I had made a long time ago, and I'm stuck on how to do the respawns. I am able to successfully have the Phase 1 respawns working for both Spartans and Elites, but Phase 2 and Phase 3 both do not work. What should I set each spawn to? Please help! D:

From Urk's Invasion Forging Guide
Setting up Spawn Locations

There are three types of spawn locations that can be setup for Invasion:

Initial Spawn - The players will spawn at the start of the game at these locations.
Backfield Spawn - These spawns can be used during any phase by anyone on the associated team.
Phase Spawn - These spawns are only active in one phase and are associated to a fire team.

While the attacking team can be changed from the Invasion game options, this will not switch the team positions around. When a player dies they can choose to respawn on a member of their fire team, at a backfield spawn or any phased spawn available to their fire team.

Setting up an Initial Spawn Location

Initial spawn locations need to be set for each player on each team. Initial spawns are not affected by fire team.

Enter the place object menu
Select a Spawning\Initial Spawn object
Press X to edit the objects properties
Set the team property to either red or blue

Setting up a Backfield Spawn Location

Backfield spawns are optional, but are a good idea to allow players alternative locations to spawn.

Enter the place object menu
Select an Objective\Hill Marker object
Press X to edit the objects properties
Set the Team property to either red or blue
Select the Advanced option and the Game Type Label property
Change the value to “INV_RES_ZONE”

Setting up a Phased Spawn Location.

Enter the place object menu
Select an Objective\Hill Marker object
Press X to edit the objects properties
Set the Team property to either red or blue
Select the Advanced option and the Game Type Label property
Change the value to either “INV_RES_P1,” “INV_RES_P2” or “INV_RES_P3.”
Change the Spawn Sequence property to the fire team value (0, 1, 2, 3+)

The players on each team are separated into three fire teams (0, 1, 2) which can have separate phased spawn locations. Assigning a spawn location with fire team value of 3+ will make that spawn accessible to all players on the team. Each fire team needs a respawn location for each phase.

Edit: I think it's the last part - Phased Spawns - that you want.
