    So I'm finishing up a map I've been working on, getting all the gametype specific objects placed. All the different spawning stuff is kinda confusing me. I was testing it with my friend, playing a slayer game, and we didn't respawn at all in two of the rooms, both with spawn areas set to 1. There is about 7-8 neutral respawn points and 6-7 team specific spawn points. I've only tried it on slayer, but I can't figure it out. Any advice? Also, if you wanna playtest or come in game and try to figure it out, send me a friend request at cleon69.

    thanks

    Don't make your spawn points team specific. Keep them neutral and use the respawn areas to designate teams. The respawn areas only work when they are placed around respawn points, so if you have rooms that you want to spawn in, make sure to add the respawn points there. If it's a smaller map, respawn areas aren't necessary if it's main use is for FFA.

    And you can never have enough spawn points. Less than 20 is a sure way to easy spawn kills.

    Didn't think about using the areas for teams. I meant only 6-7 in the room, on the map there is about 40 or so. Thanks!
