Alright I'm curious if this is possible or not,, say there are 2 flags, a, b -- Now Allies start at A, then capture B -> I want their spawns to move up to B but also stay at A -> However if they loose B I want them to lose their B spawn points too -> Also if they capture B and loose A, I want them to loose their spawnpoints at A too...

Is it possible? I haven't investigated into it too much, I think it would be a blast, in a map idea I have... Cheers!

Was possible when the best map ever aka Heutau was in old dod.

I think we need clarification. How can spawn points be at B AND A at the same time?

It is possible by using func_wall toggle and triggers, i.e. when a flag is captured by allies it triggers a small block that intrudes on spawn A and turns off a small block on spawn B thus forcing the spawns at whichever spawn is active.

Basically you use the fact that a spawn will not work if any part of it is touching a world brush, i.e. a small block covered in nodraw.

hello,

There are 2 possible methods to move spawns. Usings a func_wall and teleporting. Teleporting does not generate log errors so it is the ideal method.

Here's the "more info" from that thread:
I think you might be able to with teleports.
HL2world is so helpful!

Yeah use teleports that are activated when you want to advance the spawns

Im away from the forum for a few months, Im a year older and already Im outdated :( :p

So when are you mappers gonna get us a nice map with advancing spawns...=)

I used the teleport method, works a treat. Just don't put them too close together or you will get players spawning into each other! Its a little buggy but only on the rare occasion; can't wait for the next update!

Capitan, what do you mean you can't wait for the next update...:confused: ...is there going to be E-Z Moveable Spawn Points in the update?

I tried FuzzDad's method, and it was wierd in source (thanks for pointing it out, Ace). It messed with the flag cap zones.

Didnt a version of Omaha on orig dod have advancing spawn points? Ahh memories....

I made this thread on advancing spawns (http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=864334#post864334) a while ago. Has example map free for use.

Thanks Ca-Chicken-Soup. Knew someone made something on it, will check it out!
