This tutorial is intended to teach you how to make the flag style maps as seen in escort and district.

1. To start off you should build the area you would like the battle to take place in. Here's mine in 3D wireframe its very smple for the sake of this tutorial.

2. You must then plan where the capture flags will be. (blue is Brenodi, grey is nuetral and red is NF)After doing this you must number each flag. 1 must always be the first Northen Faction flag and the highest number must always be the first Brenodi flag.

(notice that 4 is the highest number brenodi starts here and that 1 is the lowest number NF starts here)

3. Next you will want to place these flags on your map. To do this first you will need to go to entitys on the righthand side of hammer and select 'emp_resource_point_prop' and place it on your map in the 3D view.

4. For my map i need 4 flags as shown in my plan so before i shift+drag the first 'emp_cap_model' i made 3 times i will set it up properly. Bring up the object propertys of 'emp_cap_model' the only things that are not set up by defalt are the Brenodi and NF models. For this tutorial we will just use the flag pole models. So make northen faction model 'models/common/props_system/flagpole01_nf.mdl' And the brenodi model 'models/common/props_system/flagpole01_imp.mdl' leave everything else for the time being
