View source for Creating Spawns

==Rules for Singleplayer Spawns==
Spawns are simply locations where players appear when the map starts or after they die. They are usually situated at the beginning of the map.

==Rules for Multiplayer Spawns==
Like single-player spawns, spawns are simply locations where players appear when the map starts or after they die. It's usually best to place a team's spawn points in a single location, or at the very least sizable groups. Make sure that the spawn points are facing a useful direction so that the players will be able to orient themselves quickly, and never place them in view of a location that an enemy player can access.

Lastly, always ensure that there are multiple exits from spawn, but no entrances. Doing both of these will help combat spawn camping: it is nearly impossible for an abusive player to cover five or more exits at once if they can't get past them.
