Respawn Points are primarily used to spawn players after they have died during a match. They can also serve as fallback points for initial spawning if the map does not feature remaining Team Intro Spawns or Initial Spawn Points. ## Placement and Orientation Respawn Points should be placed around the outer edges of the map, mostly within each team's safe spawning areas. Some spawn points may also be placed on the edges of the map's middle divider; these are useful when spawns at the back of a base are unsafe due to enemy presence. Most players will naturally gravitate toward the safest areas rather than those in the middle divider. When placing Respawn Points, ensure they do not cause players to encounter sudden unexpected actions within a second of running forward from the spawn. Players often attempt to continue gameplay immediately upon spawning and may be unable to react to events like falling off a ledge or hitting a wall directly in front of them if the spawn is positioned poorly. Additionally, avoid floating respawn points. While players will spawn in the air and land on the nearest surface if a point is floating, this behavior should be avoided to ensure players spawn directly on the ground. ### Orientation The Respawn Point should only ever be rotated on the Yaw axis, which determines the direction the player faces upon spawning. The object should not have rotation applied to the Pitch or Roll axes; doing so will rotate the player's camera in those directions immediately upon spawning, which is disorienting. ## Configuration and Quantity For a standard setup, Respawn Points should utilize the following properties: * **Team:** Neutral * **Order:** 0 * **Ignore Danger:** Off * **Ignore LoS:** Off These settings allow the Respawn Point to be used by all teams without hardcoded spawn weighting. When configured this way, the game will automatically select the safest Respawn Point based on [Spawn Influence](https://wiki.thescriptersguild.com/forge/spawning/spawn-influence) at the moment of respawn. ### Recommended Amounts The required number of Respawn Points varies based on map size and intended player count. Providing enough points scattered in safe spaces ensures players have sufficient options to spawn away from enemies: * 2v2: 30–50 * 4v4: 50–80 * 8v8: 80–120 * 12v12: 120–180 *** ## Source Data * Discord thread: [Respawn Points](https://discord.com/channels/220766496635224065/1535813880364666880/1535813880364666880) #### Contributors Okom
