5CP entities?

[Icarus]

Decompiling maps, I've found a group of entities that I cannot discern it's purpose for. These entities appear in all of Valve's 5CP maps, including badlands.

They are:
- 2 math_counter
- 2 game_text
- 1 game_end

Whenever a team would win a round, one of the math_counters would increase by 1. Once it reaches 3, the game would end.

Why are they there?

I'd imagine the game_end is triggered upon the capture of all points, which then triggers the game_text (1 for each team) which says something context sensitive to the map. Dunno about the math_counter, other than it probably helped the map process map info for servers, to help signal a map switch. Could be? lol

maybe its the stopwatch?

I deleted all but the game_end and my 5CP map works fine.

Sounds like debug purposes. Not sure though.

I think they used it before hardcoding it, arena has something similar :\
