If you've been following the chapters so far, you may have noticed a lot of errors that look like the following:
Unreal supports up to 16 players in Deathmatch, so we need to have at least 16 PlayerStart actors. Normally, your level will be big enough so that placing all of these spawn points will make sense and you may place some more, but it probably seems kind of silly right now. That's ok; we still want to place 16. You can place a new PlayerStart node by right-clicking on the ground, selecting Add Actor, and clicking on Add PlayerStart:
If you've already placed one, you can clone it around by alt+click+dragging on one of the move tool's handles. Do this until you have 16 nodes spread all over your level. Try to make sure they're at least 128 units apart:
