What "filter_activator_tfteam" actually does in TC?

I'm trying to figure out how TC logic works. ABS prefab exists but I need to understand why it picks the stages it does. For example, if blu owns all control points in priority 2 stages (4 middle points), why does the game pick a stage with red final and not blu final (both have priority 1).

Each middle point has filter_activator_tfteam that is associated to control point. It changes team depending who owns the cp, but what then, what does it change?

1. For non-attack/defend maps, the game will only pick rounds where both teams own at least one point. It will start with searching for higher priority rounds first, and if it doesn find any (since one team owns all points) it will search for lower priority rounds, and only finds one which is the final round to capture the enemy's last point.

2. I think the filter_activator_tfteams are used for spawns. The spawnpoints, spawnrooms and resuppies probably have their filter set to their respective control point's filter_activator_tfteam.

So the stage searching is hardcoded once again?

You can set what order you want rounds to be picked in. Higher numbers will make it be picked earlier, and if there are multiple rounds with the same priority, it will pick randomly between them. In TC, the game will only pick rounds that have one BLU point and one RED point.
