Multiple Spawn Points

When making a map on hammer, how do you create multiple spawn points on one map and have the players spawn at the closest spawn point to where they are when they die?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Have the second set of spawn points start disabled and after a certain condition is reached enable them and disable the first set.

And what entities and input/output setups would I use to achieve this?

Anybody know how to do this?

The spawnpoints get used in the order that they get added to the vmf, with no way to select which player, or even class, gets to use any specific spawn point.
Enabling/disabling spawn points is for an entire team, not just individual players.

So, if not possible, is there another way to set up 'checkpoints' or something similar to create specific intervals for progress within a game?

In the old tfc, not a problem.

That would be a cool addition, but unfortunately you're stuck with altering spawn points for an entire team.
