Not possible at the moment, I was trying to find a way a bit ago.

How exactly is this supposed to work? I had a similar idea, I think, but it involved both ctf and cp entities, and currently there's no way to display all of the necessary HUD elements at the same time.
If it's just straight-up ctf entities though, you could put your capture zones wherever you want.

i thought it would be possible. like have the flag entity places in the capping teams base. have a timer to open gates after 60 seconds. place capping area entity at desired spot, trigger that to switch spawns to advance and repeat again for the next cap point being the win trigger.

You could probably simulate it enough with something complex. Have the gametype be CTF with 1 flag for the red team and none for the blue. When the Red Team brings the flag to the 'first point' (a capture-zone) you could disable that capturezone. Kill and recreate the captured flag and do some logic around the spawn points/gates/etc. The only problem with this setup is controlling the scoring to allow for blue to win as red would score a point with each step.

I did something like that earlier, but it was only limited to one round. But I would reckon that multiple rounds would be possible
I suppose I should clarify. It's entirely possible to make a setup like this, but as Shmitz said the problem comes with the HUD and how the game auto-detects certain game types. Might be able to fiddle around and get something to work, but any method would lack something that would be useful.
Avanti is the map you're thinking of. And technically this would be possible, though I haven't thouroughly examined the ctf entities. Instead of using the normal flag, you'd use the flag model, and setup the capture w/ I/O stuff. That's how I did it in DM. Certainly worth looking into.

yup, thats the map i was talking about. thanks!
if you use the gamemode "territory control" the inteligence slowdown the carrier, do not mark points on capture but also do not go back "home" after a time (but you could script this i think)

I believe I have the droid you're looking for.

The rounds pretty much work the same way as dustbowl. But in order to maintain that I had to forgo the CTF hud and the arrow indicator. In leiue of that I put in a poor man's compass that draws a beam from blue's spawn to the case, and from the case to the cap point.
It's not pretty but I made it make sense fluffwise by telling players to pretend they're completing a power circuit from blu's spawn to the red base.

Hey guys, I joined here because it looks like you've got a fine group of people here already.
I've been playing around with this and I've found that you can set the item_teamflag to an "Attack/Defend" gametype, which is the gametype that avanti and other a/d maps used in tfc (cornfield, avanti, etc). It looks like there's a lot of functionality in here, although Valve hasn't made a lot of the files that correspond to this game type.
This really looks promising.
