If you send the map to llamaelite@gmail.com I can look at it and see, that would be the easiest way. Make sure you select 'half-life 2 ep 1' engine, or it might be counter-strike source, when you first start source SDK...

I had a question about mapping...
Does anyone know how to create random spawn points?
I would think you'd do this through some scripts settings or something like that (I have gungame deathmatch installed so I can load/unload it when i play with bots). Would it work if I just placed spawn points in random places around my map?

You want them to change every time the round starts? Or you just want them to be sporadically placed? If the latter, you can just do that in hammer...

If the former, you'll need to learn about entity scripting... You can change the spawn point positioning on every map change (there's some entity that triggers an event for certain server events, like new rounds starting...)

Good luck, I might be able to make a demo if that would help; gonna be a while tho...

Man, kinda reminds me of that medkit mod I made using hammer and eventscripts 8) hehe...
