I don't have a lot of experience with Opposing Forces and the CTF gametype. I did a decompile of a few maps and noticed there are a lot of entities scattered around and I'm not sure what all of them do. Are there any turorials posted online anywhere? I couldn't find anything. I am willing to do the trial and error approach but wanted to check here first to see if there is a resource I overlooked.

Thanks

Make a test map and throw all entities in there to see what they do.

Have you grabbed the proper fgd and loaded it into hammer?

I haven't mapped for TFC but I know based on the game there should be a few key entity types you should look for.
  • red team start
  • red team flag
  • red team capture point
  • blue team start
  • blue team flag
  • blue team capture point
  • ammo pickup
  • health pickup
Once you get the fgd loaded up you can peek through the list and see what's there.

Thanks, I will just throw it all in there as best I can and see how it plays out. I do have an FGD that seems recent.

What map did you decompile? op4ctf_hairball is nice and tiny and comes with Opposing Force so it should give you a good idea.
