Subject: Initial Spawn Question

So, I'm wanting to create a gametype to go with a map I'm making where during the first 10 seconds of the game, players cannot move and cannot be hurt. The respawn traits don't seem to apply to the initial spawn and for some reason, custom powerups cannot be placed on top of my spawn points. Is there anything else I can do?

You can place custom power ups in front of the spawn points.

Mke the initial spawns in a kill ball so everyone dies off the start.

Players only have one life, so that's not really an option.

I managed to get the custom powerups on the spawns, but if there's less than 16 players in the game, there's gonna be powerups left over that players could walk into. I assume there's no way to fix that?

Why not give them two lives?

Still better than you.

.....most of you, at least.

Put them in a drop spawn, where they fall through the power-up, and then through a one way shield door, then on to whatever you want them to spawn on.

All your goals are achieved.

Can I have a pursuit warthog? (red&blue flashing lights, siren, black and white paint job, gull-wing doors, no turret but a truckbed cap where the turret assembly should be, and the ability to arrest players :)

A police falcon would be great as well... (Black&white paint job, flashing red & blue lights on the wing struts and tail, no turrets and doors that open and close similar to the republic gunships in Star Wars. Kick... Ass.)

Police pelican would be cool too!!!

Or let then spawn in a big box with the entrance blocked by a crate. After 10 seconds, make a grav lift spawn that would remove the crate. It should be simple...
