so if thats too cunfuzzling, i want a single human to spawn away from the rest so they can pick up two in a passenger hornet.

Ok, I got it now. For the one you want to spawn by the hornet, us a starting point, for the 2 you want to spawn away from the hornet use respawn points. That should force on person to spawn on the hornet, and the others to spawn somewhere else.

Out of curiosity, are the "points" of friendlies, enemies, and dead players estimates? If not, how did you find that a dead player is worth 5 times as much as a live enemy?

Anyway, thanks again!

Those numbers are not estimates. I figured them out through Bungie, in addition to the tests I performed.

Alright...the spawn points for this map are really confusing.

the main area with the spawn points are starting points, because the humans have OV's on at start, so therefore so they cant just keep jumping off, theres a "Tickle room"(humans cant kill zombies while zombies can kill humans) so theres my delemma, if i make the main spawn respawn points the humans will respawn there instead of the tickle room if they jump off.

You can't use starting points there if that's how you want the spawns to work. Try replacing them with spawn points, and floating them in the air, then having a box spawn on top of them after 10 seconds. That should do the trick.

Wow, great guide.

It explains alot of "complicated" spawns of my players on a CQC map

Hmmm well you seem to be the go to guy on spawn points I'm copying over my other post here since it has no replys: Well I'm making a map for casual games. Mainly Infection and VIP, and I am using tube pieces as well as tube corners at the bottom to spawn the attackers. All the spawn points for the attackers are in the tubes up above the tube corners which contain the weapons. My problem arises when I try to add a respawn area to the spawn points. when I do that the only tube I spawn in is the one with the carbine. I was wondering if anyone was experiencing the same problem or knows how to fix it. Thank you for reading all this and any comments are appreciated. :)

Take a screenshot and embed it, so I have a better idea of what you are trying to do.
