And so God called Moses to come forth but he came fifth and was therefore disqualified.

Hello.
So, I made an invasion map, made all the spawns, objectives, so-on and so-forth, and tested it out in custom games by myself. It worked perfectly. However, when I played my first online custom game on it, the spawns didn't work, but only for me. I kept appearing in the big rock spire or in the canyon. Does anyone know what to do about this?

You don't have enough fireteam-specifc spawn zones. The reason it worked for you when you tested it by yourself is because you were by default assigned to the fireteam that you labeled.

When you're placing hill markers down, the spawn sequence dictates what fireteam can spawn at them. Fireteam One's hill marker should be spawn sequence 0. Fireteam Two's hill marker should be labeled 1. Fireteam Three's hill marker should be labeled 2. Anything 3 and above means that any fireteam can spawn at that hill marker.

The reason you were spawning at the pillar and canyon is because you were on a different fireteam. You didn't have enough fireteams labeled. You need at least 3 hill markers per phase for each fireteam.

If you have anymore questions feel free to PM me.

Oh ok. So should I just put 12 hill markers on each phase, three labelled 0, three labelled 1,three labelled 2, and three labelled 3? And should I do that for each phase?

You don't want to overdo the spawns. Each Fireteam needs at least 2 places to spawn per phase (unless the spawns are safe either behind shield doors or on an elevated platform). So Fireteam One (spawn sequence 0) needs 2 places to spawn. Fireteam Two (spawn sequence 1) needs 2 places to spawn. And Fireteam Three (spawn sequence 2) needs 2 places to spawn. Per phase.

If you want, you can give each fireteam one spawn that only they can use, and then you can place a single 'community spawn' (spawn sequence 3+) that anyone can spawn at. This is just for the attacking team though. Defenders probably wont need 2 fireteam spawns per phase.

I know it seems confusing at first, but you'll get the hang of it. Labeling an Invasion map is the easiest part about building it.

If they calculated time spent in Forge I'd probably be on a leaderboard for it. That's all I do in Reach.

These guides are outdated though.
