Rockstar Games, the developer of Grand Theft Auto 5, has just shared some more tips and advice for GTA Online players who want to create their own Capture jobs using the recently-updated Creator tool, so that their missions end up fun for the whole community.

GTA Online, the multiplayer mode in GTA 5, has drawn in lots of different PS3 and Xbox 360 owners, delivering a great and quite varied experience filled with all sorts of crazy missions, from deathmatches, to races, and even more specific quests.

Besides the missions made by Rockstar, players can also enjoy Rockstar Verified jobs, which were made by community members via the in-game Creator tool.

While up until recently only Races and Deathmatches were available for creation, Rockstar enabled players to forge their own Capture scenarios as well.

In order to make sure that players don't get confused when creating the new missions, a comprehensive guide was posted by Rockstar on its Newswire.

First up, the studio advises that players should nail down the basic elements required to publish the mission, from the title, description, and photo, to the team start points, the actual Capture points, and objects.

What's more, in order to prove that the quest works, players will also need a full test of the job, making at least one delivery as each team.

Once these basic elements are nailed down, Rockstar advises gamers to pay attention to the number of teams and players and expand the map accordingly, so that it doesn't turn into a massacre.

"Your Description is very important – even more so than for Races and Deathmatches, where the objectives are clear from the outset. Be precise on what each team needs to do to win and be sure to include any tactical pointers you feel are useful," the studio added.

"While you will know the Job inside-out, consider those players coming in fresh and offer clear and concise directions. Also bear in mind that the Job Host will be able to change certain settings, such as whether the winner is decided by Target Score or Time Limit. If you feel your Job is best played under certain conditions, then let people know."

Players can also choose to make others respawn into a certain vehicle, although they should make sure that it fits the whole encounter.

The upgraded GTA Online Creator tool is available for free inside the game provided you have the latest update on PS3 and Xbox 360.
