Creating CTF Levels


Now  it's  time  to   place  all  of  the  spawing   enties  that  will
allow red and blue players to beat the snot out of eachother.
Here are all of them with a list their functions:                                  
1.   team_CTF_redplayer = allows a player to join red team.     
2.  team_CTF_blueplayer = allows a player to join blue team.
3.  team_CTF_bluespawn = allows blue player to respawn.     
4.  team_CTF_redspawn = allows red player to respawn.          
5.  info_player_start = The same old spawn used to get you 
            into your map.         
When placing the team spawn points in your map it's a good
idea to have as many spawns as players you plan to allow in
the map.  Otherwise you'll end up with telefragged goo. Start
by placing the blue team by right-clicking on the 2-D window
and selecting "team_CTF_blueplayer".  Place the entities as
pictured below or at least within the parameter of your team
base.   This  will  allow  players  to  join  the blue team.  Now do
the same with "team_CTF_bluespawn".  These will be where
players  from  the  blue team will reappear after being killed.

   

The  next  step  will  be to add the red  team but now use the 
"team_CTF_redplayer" and "team_CTF_redspawn" entities
on  the  the other  side  of your  map in the red base.  Make a 
duplicate amount of player spawns and have them face the
opposing  team.    The  last  thing  to  do  will be to add the old
"info_player_start"  spawn   that   you've   always  used   for 
regular  deathmatch.    If  you  neglect  to  do  this  you'll  get
kicked  back  to  the  start  menu  because there's no way to
get  you  into  the  map.    I  usually  like  to   incorporate   the 
regular  spawn  points  so  if  I  want  I  can  add  team  death
match  or  regular  FFA  depending  on how the map is layed
out.  Use the diagram below as a basic guide to get the idea.


    

That's  basically  it, but you must be aware that the bots
are not like human players.  When designing your map
you'll   have  to   understand  that  the  bots  are   finicky 
about  how they  navigate  an environment but that will
be  covered  in  a  different  tutorial.   Let's  have  a  look!
