Question about forge variants.

Me and some friends are making some maps but were trying to put in flag and KoH points but for some reason in custom games we get a error message saying map variant isn’t compatible with the game variant. Got both flag spawns and cap points but wont let us play any help would be great and appreciated.

You need to label them.

Objects like Flag Stands don’t have any inherent function. Instead, you apply “gametype labels” to them, which make them functional. Different gametypes have different labels, which work in different ways.

To apply the relevant CTF labels, you’ll need to go to the Forge lobby, select CTF, and then start a Forge session. In-game, find your Flag Stands, access their properties, and go to Advanced. Apply the “CTF_FLAG_RETURN” label.

You can also apply the labels that say “RES_ZONE” to Respawn Zones, to control how players spawn when their flag is at home or away. If you apply the label that just says “CTF” to an object, and then make that object Gametype-Specific, then that object will only spawn in CTF.

Thank you very much i take this works for every variant

Yes, each variant uses labels. Some gametypes require a more complex arrangement of labels, but the videos on Certain Affinity’s YouTube channel explain those well.

i got the cape plates to spawn in customs but no flags
