i’m not really sure but by the axis part i must just set the accum from 0 to 2
not 0 to 0 because then is axis
am i right?

It depends totally on your script. Show us your script so we don’t need to play detectives.

hehehe i think that’s a good idea

game_manager
{
spawn
{
wm_axis_respawntime 14
wm_allied_respawntime 11
wm_set_round_timelimit 20

  // Stopwatch mode defending team (0=Axis, 1=Allies)
  wm_set_defending_team	0

  // Winner on expiration of round timer (0=Axis, 1=Allies, -1=Nobody)
  wm_setwinner 0

  wait 500
  
  setstate forward_wobj invisible
  
  setautospawn "Axis Spawn" 0
  setautospawn "Allied Spawn" 1

}
trigger allies_win
{
wm_announce “The Allies blew up the computer!”
wm_setwinner 1

wait 2000

wm_endround

}

I can’t see anything wrong with the accums.

[blizzard]

i want a foward flag that the axis can’t take
but this line will said the opposite
accum 0 set 0 // Axis own the flag
if i chance 0 set 0 to 0 set 2 then the axis won’t capture it or isn’t this all true what i say

It is just a check, if axis “owns the flag”. For example when Allies own the flag, then axis take it, it announces “Axis has captured the flag” or such, but it won’t announce it again, before Allies have captured. Otherwise the announce would be heard everytime Axis player touches the flag. That check is there to stop that happening.

so i must delete the announce

a other option is to tick a the box called allied_only in the enitie window
maybe that work

Neither of these has nothing to do with spawning in there. Apart from one cosmetic, the script should work if the entities are correctly setted up. Have you even tested it?

[blizzard]

no
i am now going to compile the map and after about 15min i will post again
i don’t want that the axis can spawn there becuz it’s become to easy for the axis team to defeat the allies in the tutorial they said i need to put a team/team_ctf_redpawn near it but if i won’t the axis spawn there i have skip that part.

other question
i have about 6 team/team_ctf_bluespawns but must there go by each box 1 line to the team/team_wolf_checkpoint or can i just copi the first box 6 times, the lines disappear by the other 5 boxes. does this make sence?

plz look 15 min later again in this topic if you want
but i need this answer before i’m going to compile cuz if i do this wrong i have to compile again
thx

When you copy paste those blue/redspawns (or any other entity), and you are using 1.5.0 the targetname changes. So you need to change the targetname back. Same happens with target key when you copypaste. If you don’t have spawnentities, obviously they can’t spawn there.

6 boxes is very little amount, you should have atleast 16 of those per spawnpoint and if you are making the map for more people, make it 32. And all active (at the round start) spawns are supposed to be startactive.

Ps. Are you running on a really slow machine, or is your map really big, or are you compiling more than -meta (single bsp)?

[blizzard]

i’ve a fast computer and with full compiling it’s take about 15 min mij map has got about 3000 brushes and 300 enities
it’s not really big total i have 18 by allies 18 by axis the allies can spawn 6 man by the forward it’s enough for my map.
you have only a prison that the allies have to break in.
and not everybody must spawn at the same place so.
