You can edit maps by downloading a program called BSPEdit. You can open up any existing .bsp map file, and do what ever you want with it.

is it possible to have a moving spawn in the sky? so lets say my guys were to jump out use their parachutes and fall around the map? also if anyone knows hot to make a parachute plugin where you are only allowed to use it once thatd be great? im trying to make it as real as i can get it. oo also i almost forgot anyone have the link to get the map dod_parachute?

Moving spawn in the sky?? Why don't you just get the map dod_crazyjump??? There is a para mod already, look in the right place. As for using it once, I don't know if that is able to changed, I'm sure Tatsu/Wilson/diamond optic would have more info on that...

rnrnas for the only using the parachute once part, I know it's possible as a server I play on occasionally has it setup that way.

rnrnThis might be possible by attaching the spawn to a func_tracktrain entity with the right set of variables, height, origon ect.rnrnI have never tried it in my years of editing maps, but it is the right entity to use I believe.

n ncant attach spawns to a functrain.... the spawns simply wont move with anything... and the only option which was close to sounding like it would is MoveWith and that was removed from DoD years ago...n nYou simply can not make the spawn points have "movement", you CAN place there origin way up into the sky and spawned players will simply fall down, and you can make spawn points "dynamic" where one spawn disappears in favor of an alternate working in a different location... using masters and in map "scripting" (mulitmanager, mulitwatch, env_state, etc)nbut if I believe what you are asking for is spawn points that "move" by themselves, or even "assisted" (func_train) is pure and simply not going to ever happen, it is impossible in the HL engine...
