What entities are needed for CTF to work?
CTF requires both player starts (info_player_team1 and info_player_team2) and flags (item_flag_team1 and item_flag_team2). However, other player starts are added using the deathmatch player starts. Additionally, you don’t need to place the 4 CTF powerups, since they are automatically placed into CTF maps. See the tutorials page for more information.
