Different static objects in different game modes

I want to spawn some static objects in ctf mode on a certain map but I don't want them to be there in conquest or tdm. Is it possible to do this by using an if statement or by other means?
I realise that this is ssm so the static objects wont be visible but I don't need them to be visible. Any help is appreciated

Look for a file called ''AdditionalStaticObjects.con'' in your Conquest, TDM or CTF folder. This is the file you need to add new statics for a specific game mode. I would suggest just adding the objects normally via BC or Ed42 then cutting the additional objects to that file.
Although you can add new statics with this file, you cannot remove statics with it.

Why not just use a separate ObjectSpawns kind of file with the statics in it, then have the game mode read (run) that file?

I couldn't get that to work. Maybe it is because I am modding a vanilla bf1942 map that doesn't normally have an AdditionalStaticObjects.con file?

I managed to get it to work doing this, I didn't know I could spawn statics in ObjectSpawn files
Thank you both for the replies

Doesn't matter... if the file is not included in your Conquest folder or whichever game mode folder you're editing you can still create it and include all the static objects you want in that file.
