Team control point master

Entity description

Control point master.
Request: can somebody add a little more info here: what does this entity do? What is the entity used for? A: (edit, please) This entity is used to tailor the control point map style and act as a central hub to which all control points answer. For instance: If one was making a map in which the first and second red, and first and second blue control points were locked, but capturing the middle was open, then the caplayout function would be used and a hierarchy tree would be made<2, 0 1 3 4>. Use it to switch teams, or control point styles. Exploring this entity is essential, and even the simplest cp_ map should have one.

Availability

This point entity is exclusive to Team Fortress 2.
