Spawn-point preference - is there one?

Hi,

There's something I'm not sure about and I can't test it on my own, so I'll just ask and hope someone has found that out already.

Let's say I distribute a number of, for example, 16 info_player_allies entities in groups of 4 on each corner of my map.

Now will players spawn randomly and evenly in all four corners, or will they preferably spawn in ONE of them and only use the other spawn areas in case of need?

I'll probably need that for a new gameplay variation, so I don't ask out of totally random reasons :P.

Cheers - maybe someone knows the answer? :)

I am pretty sure it goes around in the order of spawns placed. Try naming them, It seems to go in numerical order.

I would agree with CCS i've always found it works in order of placement as well.

When I start a map I always place the 32 spawn points and when I go in to test it always spawns me at the same point so it makes sense. So like that it would work pretty much as you say I guess.
