ive check tutorials everywhere and all they show is a 5 stage cp. im looking on how to do a 7 point cp map. whenever i compile my map and try it out, after capping the middle neutral point the match is over.

thanks as always guys :D

First off by what you say I dont think you have them setup correctly, you may want to go back and see if everything is set correctly.

The main difference between a 5 cp map and a 7 is the fact there's 2 more points. Whenever a point is capped on a 5 cp map the capping' team's spawn moves forward and the defending team's moves back(given if they are not already at the last one.)

In order to link each of the points you need to set what the previous required point is(this is in the options on the control point itself) set the center one's previously required point to its-self to unlock it at the start of combat. Really all you should need to do is take the 2nd and 3rd points and copy them. then set them to require the 2nd and 3rd to cap and the final's require to cap the new points.

Finally an easy way to find a displacement you accidentally func_detail is to unchecked everything in the filter then turn on displacements and turn off world brushes. the only objects you see should be your func_detail displacement(s).

ctrl+shift+g is the shortcut to bring up find brush tool

i feel like that func_detail is going to take forever to find, i cant find any triggers or anything like that, all i got on my map is just all the buildings, hallways, etc. my map "shell" - skybox, map walls, and floor arent func_details, im not too sure what im trying to find. are player clips supposed to be something other than func_detals?

and i tried using the find brush number but it says brush doesn't exist. ill try playing with the control points after im able to compile

Use the "find entity" option under the Map menu.

Put in the number 149.

And yes. Playerclip brushes should be WORLD BRUSHES. They don't split visleafs so there's no reason to put them in a detail group unless you wish to move the clip around with a particular detail object.

select your ground and click "toWorld" (its a button on the right side of the screen right above where you select point entities)

ok so i think i understand and this si what i have it set up as. is this correct? out of 3 blu cp this is the 2nd one.

not quite, the previous required point for red should only be blu_cp1_cap.

blu_cp1_cap should have the red previous required point set to "nuetral_cap" <you spelled neutral wrong btw...

The idea is

Red_cp3_cap requires red_cp2_cap for Blu to cap
Red_cp2_cap requires red_cp1_cap for Blu to cap
Red_cp1_cap requires neutral_cap for Blu to cap
neutral_cap requires blu_cp1_cap for Blu to cap
blu_cp1_cap requires blu_cp2_cap for Blu to cap
blu_cp2_cap requires blu_cp3_cap for Blu to cap
blu_cp3_cap requires itself for Blu to cap

Then The same thing but in reverse for red.

I'm planning on making a game mode Reference chart for people who have this very problem. I'll release it on my blog when i finish it. (link is my homepage)

For a linear cp map, don't use required points, just set them up to have indexes that increase in a linear fashion and the game will figure out the rest on its own. So you'd want blu base to have an index of 0 (for example), then first blu cp index 1, second blu cp index 2, mid index 3, and so on all the way to red base with index 6.
