I’m making a map on sandbox in the bottom part of the map (underground) and the spawn points I put down do work, but for some reason it doesn’t matter what mode I have on when I start it up in custom games at the beginning all the players spawn in the middle level of the map (surface). After you die the spawn points work normally but how do I fix the initial spawning into the map to have players spawn where my map actually is?
I should also state that this is only when I spawn into a custom games match with this map, when I start it up on forge it spawns me where I want it to.
EDIT: I figured what the problem was. I forgot you had to go into the gametype in forge to place the initial spawns in Halo 3. Thanks to everyone who replied.
Have you placed initial spawn points? They look like regular spawn points but have a glowing cylinder rising up. If you don’t boot up forge with Slayer as the selected gametype you will only be able to spawn respawn points, which means the initial spawns will be map default. Try booting up slayer or whichever gametype you are making in mind next forge session.

Interesting, weren’t initial spawns first added with Reach?
Are These the ones from Halo Online?

Initial spawn points were first added to Halo 3. I think in Reach they are available in the forge gametype, but they are not in H3. You have to change the gametype to slayer (or any other gametype really) to have access to init spawns in Forge.
If H3 didn’t have init spawn points then how would all the matchmaking forge maps even function if they used map defaults.

I literally just figured it out lol and ya tha’s 100% what my problem was. It just threw me off as in Reach you could place initial points from basic editing but I forgot with Halo 3 just since it’s been so long you had to go into the gametype in forge. Thanks!
