Checkpoints
This is an example for 3-checkpoint capture the flag map. First
build a simple room with an info_player_start and a script-entity
(right click and choose script > multiplayer_script). then place
3 team_wolf_checkpoint entities in it. do this by right clicking
and then choose them in directory team. Now your map should be like
this:
Now select the first of the checkpoints and press 'N'. Enter
all settings like I did. The model is the normal flagpole that is
used in every official map for checkpoints/spawnpoints.
Repeat this for all the 3 checkpoints of course with other scriptnames
- these are cp2 and cp3. That's it for the map, now here comes the
script, no fear it looks like a lot of work but it's just copy and
paste all the time. If you don't understand what is going on then
have a look at the scripting tutorial.
