Need help with map making.

Hey, I'm a newbie at map making and if anyone can give me a hand that would be great....

When I go on public I see some maps with a flat concrete terrrain, how do I get it like that.

Well I tryed to do it with the concrete center piece decoration but when I put a respawn point on that slab of concrete it just makes me respawn like 50 ft. to the right of it, so I'm like just parachuting down as I see the concrete off in the distance.

Thanks to all that can help!

i think your having one of two problems (least that i can think of at the moment...)
1. your using the wrong spawn type for the map
2. you have the two items (the spawn and the concrete slab) at two different Z hights

i guess both of these only work if (and i assumed) your using the very center of the map as where this is happening...
some more information would be help to understand whats goin on, and thus fix it.

Thanks, I don't know if I did what you said but it seems to be working

How do you get those concrete slabs lined up so perfectly like it's just one big concrete piece.

I use the 3D thing, but it's so frustrating having to guess and check, especially the pieces that are in the middle.

To make them level with eachother you just make sure they have the same Z height right? Well when I do it one is just a little off sometimes.

If they just put in a flat terrain I wouldn't of posted, oh well.

Thanks for the help!

Alright I finally got the concrete slabs lined up good. Took me forever but oh well if that's the only way then so be it.

It's just so hard, in 3D mode to rotate the objects so I can get a better look; when I zoom in the camera always wants to zoom in on the center of the piece I selected and when I move it with ctrl+left mouse it never does what I wanted it to do.
