I know what you're getting at, people are getting lost way out in the combine base.

Like I said though, throw an invisible clip to keep from passing back through to the spawn, Combine OR Rebel, and that'll take care of it.

Or just throw walls in the way that you can only climb up from one side of the spawn. Eliminates the though to traveling that way completely lol

what i do to protect the spawns is i throw a trigger (1000 damage) with a filter to the opposite team.  this way if somebody tries to go into the other teams spawn, they die.  works every time.

the problem with domination maps is that you can't have spawn rooms.  the reason is that i haven't figured out a way to filter out the flag due to the way the flag entity is made right now.  so because you can't filter out who has the flag, you can't prevent them from bringing it into the spawn room and camping out there.  i was told that when version 1.8 comes out, we will get to name the flag entity, so at that time we will be able to filter it out.  but until then, unless you know of another way, you will have to get rid of your spawn rooms if you are turning your map into a domination style map.

Snooch how long do you think it would be to get me a copy of Dom_hot_topic with the banner worked into it? I would prefer to wait to put it up until the banner is there. Just adds that special touch i think..

Are we shutting down ctf_hot_topic? I would still like to see even more navigational assistance in it (as well as the spawn issues of course) I would want to see new comers to the map being able to join in the action of a busy game quicker without so much time wandering around lost with the action blazing on around em.

okey hurrs the deal. Until someone can find me a working way to add spawn protection there is nothing i can do. I would love to have that map as ctf. Its my dream to play it as ctf, but like i said... I can't find the filter_activator_team entity, which is what all tutorials say to use. I will post my question on interlopers and the ctf forums today but until then keep it as an admin pull up or sumthin. as far as dom_hot_topic when someone can fill my request for a larger banner then i will put it in and give it to you. Right now the copy i gave you is working.

by the way adding more nav is no problem.

if you want to see how to protect your spawns just decompile any of my maps.  i don't know why you can't see some of the entities but i will have to look into that when i get home.  i hope steam didn't do anything stupid in the last month.  all it takes is a trigger_hurt (i think thats what its called) and a filter.  i usually also put a physics clip so that people can't bring physics objects into the spawns.
