Title: CTF entities
Post by: andrewj on March 11, 2008, 07:24:59 AM
I'm making a small CTF map but I don't understand what's the difference between the team_CTF_redplayer and team_CTF_redspawn entities (likewise for blue).

Does a CTF map need both of them, and is it OK to pair them up at the same location?
TIA

I don't have GTK Radiant installed right now. But as I remember you need both. team_CTF_redplayer is the initial spawn point, players only spawn there in the beginning of the game, they can there fore be placed extremely offensive if you want action right away or defensively if you want players to settle in.

There must be many team_CTF_redplayer or the start of the game will end in a bloody mess.

team_CTF_redspawn are the most important as all respawns and joining players will spawn here. These must be placed with care.


You can pair them if you don't want to make a difference between initial and the following spawns.
