I wasn’t sure how much spawn pads have improved over the updates.
But over a year ago it was found
The enabled during phase setting never used to work and all pads had to be set to Always
The priority number is reversed to other devices, the lower the number, the higher the priority, but despite the option to set a lot of priority levels, only 3 different priorities worked.
I have been using priority 1 and 2 for gameplay spawns and priority 3 for pregame spawnpads
The amount of spawnpads in each situation has to be equal to, or more than the number of players expected to use them.
