Spawn difficulty

[Whatpantz]

I'm trying to get it so the player could spawn in 1 of 3 rooms per team, however you only ever spawn in 1 of them, the compiler makes no mention of it not functioning, and other online guides have told me to do the exact thing I did. Is KOTH limited to 1 spawn location, or am I doing something else wrong?

I had no problem spawning in all of the spawnpoints across all 3 spawnrooms per team. I just kept switching classes and throughout that process I cycled through all of both teams spawnpoints. Unless your problem was something else?

Okay, now I'm even more confused, because I've been compiling it over and over for the last 2 days, and I've never gotten a different spawn room

This has to do with the way TF2 spawn points work.
It isn't actually truly random - it'll try to spawn you at the first spawn point that was placed in Hammer, but if it's occupied by a teammate, it will instead iterate through the list of available spawn points (in the order you placed them in Hammer) and spawn you at the next free one.

So, in playtests with a full server, you will notice a fairly even split between the three rooms, but that's only if the entire team all dies at the same time.
The first and second rooms will be a lot more populated than the third in practice.

The way you can spawn in different rooms in singleplayer is by doing what The Asylum did and switching classes/loadouts.
For some reason, the game will do the same "iterate through the list" thing it would do if the last spawnpoint you used was taken, so changing classes acts as a way to cycle through all of your spawn points.
