Many people have asked me countless times to teach them how to make an invasion map successful. Well for them and countless others here is the txt tutorial on how to do it right SO YOU DONT HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THE CRAP THAT I KEPT READING. So lets begin 1. Bring wanted map up in forge in invasion gametype 2. Create base map (nothing to do specifically with invasion A.k.a barriers gravlifts etcetera) SETUP SPAWN ZONES 1. CREATE SPAWN POINTS, ZONES 2. It does not matter but i find it easier if you use hill makers for spawn zones. For anything to work in invasion IT ABSOLUTELY MUST BE LABLED BY TEAM A.K.A BLUE (ELITES) AND RED (SPARTANS) Go to item properties> Advanced> Inv> Spawn zone, to creat a spawn zone for each phase 3. Create three spawn zones (1 FOR EACH PHASE) labled according to team. Create spawn zone, Anti. Now here is the important part THEY MUST BE LABLED FROM START TO FINISH. In the order in which you wish them available through the game(0,1,2). Now each spawn sequence for example SP,SEQ:1 after you get one point said anti spawn zone will allowing access to the next spawn area. 4. The background spawn areas are for youor your teammate is attempting to spawn off of you this spawn setup looks like PROPERTIES> ADVANCED> RES>ZON>1,2 or 3 depending on how many teams there are in the elites, spartans side. BARRIERS This is like on boneyard when the sheild doors disappear after the firt objectives are captured. 1. To set this up go to the barrier, wall, sheild, ect.....go to PROPERTIES> ADVANCED> INV> GATES. It is the same as the anti spawn zones think of it as when you setup sp,sq:1, you get one point the barriers go away this also works for kill barriers and safe zones(SO NONE CAN TRY TO GET OUT TO THE NEXT PART)i hated that part of testing. OBJECTIVES, CORE 1. Spawn desired object change its shape to sphere, box to desired area. To make it an objective a.k.a a capture point go to Properties> Advanced> INV> Objective,OBJ> FLAG, An objective is a CAPTURE POINT. OBJ> FLAG is the core (Fun fact you can make vehicles the core capture point as well) WEAPONS,VEHICLES 1. Spawn weapon, vehicle, instead of it going away when you reach the desired amount of points like the gates. It spawns when you reach the desired points .So set it for sp,sq:2 and it will spawn when your team reaches 2 points. 2. For this go to Properties> Advanced> INV> Weapon OR Vehicle, And there you go it took me all of two days to figure out every little thing about the making of an invasion map. So i hope what i have put up will help every one the way i see it now you guys can stop bugging the crap out of me about it lol if anyone has a question about this post or has a request about another gametype they cannot figure out i will help.
