Getting a boss to spawn at the right location?

How do I create an ambush so that the boss that spawns, spawns near my objective? I have "Free a captured" when I free him I want a boss to spawn. I get it to work but the Boss spawns way off my capture objective. Is there anyway to control this?

My captured is located Front of map and my boss has the same parameter to him. Its an indoor map.

Any help would be appreciated.

I ran into a similar problem and learned that it has a lot to do with the predetermined map settings. For example, if you've already used up all the available spawn points in the "front" section of the map you've selected, then the boss will be forced to some point in the middle or back. You can figure this out by looking at the design screen where that map is selected. Above the diagram of the map you will see how many spawn points are permitted for allies, enemies, and objects for each map section (front, middle, back). Check your objectives against the list and, if you've left no spots for the boss to spawn, adjust them to create room for that to happen. Even if you are able to do this, there's no guarantee that the boss will appear right next to the objective.

In some cases (unique maps in particular), some sections will contain no spawn points at all for the thing you want (in your case, the map might only have spots in the middle and back for enemies to pop up). In those instances, sadly, there's nothing you can do to make that boss show up near the desired place.

Ah, that is probably it! I will check it out and see if I can find a map that has more spots up front. They seem to be pretty rare, but I want to tell a lot of story and cool events up front on my map.

Thanks for the tips!
