Unite different vmf's into one & dynamic spawn point

Hey,

I want to release a map in the Steam workshop as one, but it's currently split into 4 different .vmf files. What's the best way to deliver this to the player? Paste all the levels into one and then connect them, let the player download all single files,... ?

Regards,

put them together in one map using func_instances; matching the entrances and exits etc ;)

Man, how could I forget instancing!? Thanks for the fast help!

Edit: Can I change the spawn point of the player when he enters a specific area? Because if he somehow dies and re-spawns at the very beginning of the level, that would be quite annoying.

Trigger_autosave and/or logic_autosave entities.

Falsi sumus crusto!

I can't check right now, but either the global_pti_ents or the global_ents instance has a logic_autosave called @autosave I believe. So you'd only need to place triggers triggering that @autosave. :thumbup:

Unless its MP, in which case you would probably want to use the airlock instances...
