4v4 Stockpile by WAR FH is a variant of Stockpile that is tailored for competitive 4v4 gameplay. Power Seeds spawn in 5 set locations on the map and need to be delivered to your team's Power Sockets to gain score. 3 delivered Power Seeds results in a score increase for the team. The first team to 3 score wins. Players can also steal Power Seeds from enemy Power Sockets and bring them back to their own.
The objects required on-level to support 4v4 Stockpile.
A prefab with correctly set up objects for this mode can be found here: ForgeHub 4v4 Stockpile Template by Okom1.
Power Seed Spawns determine the locations where Power Seeds should spawn.
Gameplay
Game Modes
Power Seed Spawn
Place 3 Power Seed Spawns in neutral positions around the middle of the map that don't favor either team. Place the remaining 2 near the other Power Seed Spawns, but each slightly favoring one team.
Place each Power Seed Spawn flat on the intended surface. The origin point of the Power Seed Spawn object should be positioned on the surface and not floating above it. Having the origin point float above the surface means that the Power Seed will spawn in the air and drop on the ground.
None
As this object is not visible in gameplay and has no effect in modes that don't use it, it doesn't require a gamemode "Include" label.

Place 3 Power Sockets per team next to one another and in a relatively open and vulnerable area near each team's base. The goal is to promote the stealing of Power Seeds and for them to be delivered back to the other team's Power Sockets in around 4 seconds.

Game Modes
Stronghold Capture Zone
The Stronghold Capture Zone object is used for this item, but the correct label makes it work as intended.
Place 1 Stronghold Capture Zone 6.5 units below where the "Deliver" navpoint should show up. Usually this is placed at the position of the central Power Socket.
The zone boundary has no effect on the navpoint.
Stockpile Navpoint
As this object is not visible in gameplay and has no effect in modes that don't use it, it doesn't require a gamemode "Include" label.
Team: Team 1 (Eagle) / Team 2 (Cobra)
Spawn Volumes are used to prevent teams from swapping sides during 4v4 Stockpile gameplay.

Player Spawning
Spawn Volume [Respawn]
Place 1 Spawn Volume per team covering half of the map's Respawn Points within the boundary. The Spawn Volumes should intersect in the middle of the map. Avoid overlapping the Spawn Volumes as the overlap area will block players on both teams from spawning in it.
Spawn Volumes are used to adjust the spawning influence of Spawn Points within the boundary.

As 4v4 Stockpile is based on a BTB mode, but is intended for Ranked 4v4 play, the sandbox of the map needs to be forced to Ranked 4v4 settings for optimal gameplay, otherwise the properties that default to BTB modes would be used such as faster spawning weapons.
