can someone direct me to a good link i have been searching for any info how to create a SP for dods maps no luck

thanks guys

I don't see how complicated using the dod_team_wall can be. Just set the team that can get through it and voilà, you have an easy way to setup spawn protection.

dod_team_wall limits entry to a certain area (by making the entity's brush the size of the entrance to a region) to players of a designated team.

Other methods of protection are triggers that harm the player or warp them away.

Those 2 would probably best be used with some consideration, and chances are really the best way will always be team walls.

But for some maps a teleport can be funny. One map (I think a 4 towers variation) made it so a player would warp into a transparent box in the middle of the map and slowly kill them for all to enjoy. Was kinda neat.

Triggers that hurt the player are complete crap, and shouldn't be used at all imo. I can imagine the teleport thing would work well on a different, funnier game.

Alot of the time you don't even know you're going into their spawn, because the map is so small, and it doesn't seem like their spawn area.

hint: DON'T USE THEM!!! wall protections are just fine ;)

Yes indeed, the reason so many custom maps use trigger_hurts though is because the team wall is a fairly recent addition to the sdk.

Totally agreed. The worst thing ever is when you walk in a spawn that has a trigger_hurt which you didn't know about and you end up dying for no reason.

Ya I used the trigger hurt in dod_sora along with an onscreen warning in advance.

It annoyed alot of ppl !!

The teamwall wasnt available at the time I released it sadly. Very handy func.

wall protection works thanks alot guys :)
