    Okay so I am making a map that needs to have a flag stand spawn in at the beginning of the second phase.... Is this even possible? I know you can do it with vehicles and weapons, but what about flag stands?

    Also the flag stands are non objective...

    Yes, set it to inv_gate if you want it there only for phase 2 or Inv_vehicle or inv_weapon if you want it for phase 2 and 3.

    ......Wouldn't you just use "inv_objective" and put the spawn order to two?......Thats how i did it for the last phase....

    The flag stands are non objective, if you was to do that there should be a possiblity of the core spawning there.

    Isn't that what he wants? Or does he just want a flag to spawn? You have to have your own custom invasion setup for that i believe.

    It could be for aesthetic purposes. If you take JackalAnubis' City Streets for example, he uses a combination of flag stands and capture plates to emulate signs.

    INV_GATES
    Makes an item spawn at the start of Phase #[spawn sequence] and de-spawn at the end of Phase #[spawn sequence]. Using this on weapons, vehicles, or Armor Abilities can and will lead to exploitable glitches.

    INV_WEAPON
    Makes an item spawn at the start of Phase #[spawn sequence]. Note that the item's Respawn Time will delay its spawn.

    INV_VEHICLE
    Same as INV_WEAPON, but Bungie says it puts a waypoint over the object. (For whom? Is the waypoint's visibility affected by the owning team? I've never seen this happen.)

    INV_OBJECTIVE
    Territory, flag drop point, or bomb plant point. Is used for Phase #[spawn sequence].

    INV_OBJ_FLAG
    Flag spawn point, or bomb spawn point. Is used for Phase #[spawn sequence].

    These cannot be combined. If you want a Flag Stand on a flag spawn, but don't want it to be visible before or after its respective Phase, then you'll need to use a Hill Marker as the INV_OBJ_FLAG and just make the Flag Stand a plain ol' INV_GATES. The actual flag won't attach to the stand, but if you position the two items with appropriate precision, you should be able to fake it pretty well.
