1. how do i increase the amount of people it takes to capture a point?

2. I want to create foxholes to spawn in. how would I go about creating them in the ground?

3. how do I change where you have to be when you capture a flag. ex. the middle flag of avalanche.

4. how do i set up a mortar system?

5. could I use german 88's to act like mortars?

6. Where can I get my map hosted when I'm finished?

1. Tie an object to capture_area entity and in the target box link it to the flag name u want

3. Is the same as 1. (you have all the options in this entity)

6. Tons of places... but by 'hosted' do you meen advertising, or just a place on the web so that people can download it?

could anyone explain how to set up the mortars? Its very imperative that I figure out how to set them up because its the last thing i need to do. I've answered my other questions myself but this one is stumping me. I can't use .bsp viewer tto see how its done because it returns a system dll error. any help would be much appreciated.
