The title says it all. I'm half decent enough to build a map, but some of the other mechanics are beyond me.

I wanted to lay out a map with 4 control points. Red defends, while Blu is attacking. But the only thing I don't know how to set up is the order you capture.

I would like to see it A=B+C=D.

Anyone know how its done?

do you mean
- at the start of the round only A is unlocked
- when A is captured, B and C unlock
- when both B and C are captured D unlocks

go to the options of the control points, there should be a field called something like previously required control point. For B and C just set this to the name of control point A
I am not sure you can do this with D as well, if not.
-add a math_counter with limit 2
-on both the capture B and C, you add 1 to the counter
-when the counter reaches 2 unlock control point D

Now its just getting the cp's on the hud to lay out correctly

In your team_control_point_master/team_control_point_round, there's a keyvalue called "Cap Layout" (or something similar). From the Valve Wiki:
Valve Wiki said:
A string that tells the HUD how to lay out the cap points. It should be a string with indexes of cap points separated by commas to denote a new line. So <2,0 1> would create a pyramid, with cap point 2 on the top and cap points 0 & 1 on the bottom.

I would suggest using '3, 2 1, 0' though this is just me, play around with them but I think this'll fit best. Note that when input you don't need to include anything other than numbers and commas, so no "<>"s.

This. Thanks Spammish I didn't even know how horrible the wording on the wiki was before I copy/pasted :p
