Objective problems

Hello, I have been working on a map for a bit, no big problems until now. I have set up an objective map, similar to dod_jagd, just instead of 3 allied owned objectives i have 2 Axis owned objectives. I have no Allied flags or objectives. I made it a 5min game, my goal is that at the end of 5min if the allies had not destroyed all the objectives the win goes to the axis, and for every objective completely destroyed adds 90 seconds the timer.
My problem is that when i start out the wehrmacht automatically wins, now I am wondering how to stop this. i was thinking that i could add a third uncappable flag to the allies, disable its HUD view, i did this, now the Allies auto win...
Has anyone else had this problem and fixed this or anyone with an idea on how to fix this?
Thinks.

I had the same problem. Here's how to fix:
If all det flags will start in the possession of Axis, set the default owner in each of the bomb flags to be AXIS. That's the easy part which I'm sure you did correctly.
Next, create ONE extra flag. Set the default owner to be ALLIES. Go into the Flags for the soon-to-be-hidden control point, and check "Hide Control Point..." and "Start with model hidden".
Do NOT create another hidden flag for Axis. If you do this, the round will end as soon as it starts. The ONLY time you make a hidden flag for BOTH teams is if both teams will be bombing different objectives (like in colmar).
Naturally, if you were doing this the other way around (all flags start with allies, ala Jagd), then each of the objective flags would default to allies, and the hidden flag would default to axis.
Hope that fixes it!

oh yeah, i see that now. I didnt read it correctly the first time.
In that case, probably one of your other settings is incorrect. Make sure that each flag has a different index. If any slight setting is wrong, one team will autocap. It's really frustrating. During one of my attempts, I just deleted all the control points and started over. Then it worked fine.

If I'm reading your post right, you want the flag model to be Axis at the start and change to Allies after cap/det? Set the the default owner to neither and set the reset model group to 0 (Axis) of the control point. You can also change the HUD model also. Hope this helps - cheers
