Player Start Question

Post by The Texican-PG- »

In Co=Op maps do you use Player Start or Blue Team Start?

I've placed Blue Team Start in my map and when I go in to play the map it starts me 2800m away from where I placed it and under water.

I place Player Start and it works fine but I'm trying to figure out the navigation WP thing. You know go from start to WP1 then to WP2 and so on......

There's a tutorial on setting up waypoints in this forum. Here is the link to it:

Glad to see you're taking an interest in building maps! :D

I've got the WP part down. It's just that I need to know how to get the player to follow them.

Do I use 'Player Start' or 'Blue Team Start'?

When I use 'Blue Team Start' I place it on the map and when I go into the game to test it I spawn nearly 2800m away from where I placed it on the map.

When I use 'Player Start' I place it on the map and it appears where I placed it but it doesn't want to follow my WP's.

Always use the 'Player Start' for coop maps. Be SURE the start player is on Team BLUE.

To set up the waypoint list, go to viewtopic.php?f=36&t=10 and scroll down to the 4th graphic. Follow the instructions ABOVE and BELOW this graphic.

The "Start, Blue Team" markers in the MED are for the other types
of Team Maps. I.E. Team Death Match or Team CTF, etc...

Just as Bubba said, always use the Start,Player and in it's item
attributes under the "Team" drop down select "Blue Team".

Good luck and keep at it! :mrgreen:

Thanks for the help Bubba and Joe!

I finally got it to work. :mrgreen:

I had the first WP inside the Area Trigger so it wouldn't work. :?
