Hello!
I am kind of familiar with zones now. (I had some trouble with that in my last few forum posts.)

My current (and probably most f*cked up) problem is that my zone is not working as it should..
So.. I got 2 completely equal rooms just next to each other with a door between em.
I took my start_zone volumen (which is working just fine in the first room) and spreaded it up to the secound room (via 2D editor thingy) so the volumen now perfectly fits into both rooms, no uncovered spaces and perfectly placed path notes.

Short overview: 2 rooms, 1 volumen but they are over 2 rooms.

Now to the problem:

The zombies spawn but when i go to the other room they just stay where they are like total retards....
They dont follow me anymore unless i get back to their room..

For me this is just weird because the zone should be working just fine...

Maybe sone one is familiar to this problem here?

thx

did you tick the 'dynamic path' spawnflag on your door?

did you tick the 'dynamic path' spawnflag on your door?

I dont have any Spawnflags on my door
I do totally not know a thing about spawnflags..

(maybe because i followed the instructions of an 3 year old tutorial on how to build buyable doors 

What would the dynamic path spawnflag do?

it connects the pathnodes when you open the door, so select all script_brushmodels/script_models and/or clips that make the actual door, and enable the dynamic-paths for them in radiant. Then it should work.

So i should select all the things that work for that door (including the script brushes etc.) and put in 'dynamic path' spawnflag?

Next question:
Is spawnflag the key or the value then?
(I think the key if i follow by logic but i want to make this one sure.)

Ok never mind i just tried that and its still not working

Can i send you my map data or smthn to make sure you can see everything?
Maybe that would help...

dynamicpaths isn't a KVP ( you could enter it like the spawnflag kvp i guess, but ignore that ) it's a simple box you can tick:



and no you dont do it for everything that works for the door, only for the 'physical' door. So the model/brushes/clips, not the trigger or whatever else you might have..


If one tutorial doesn't work/is missing stuff, look for a better one. The game is about 8 years old, and there's milions of tutorials in prob more language's than you or me can speak so you prob just picked a bad one.. Something like adding a zone or a door should be tons of info for..
Also, a new room kinda needs a new zone if you want to keep zombie spawns going and add a bit of challenge so i would look for a new zone-tutorial as well if i where you..

first of all...
thank you very much for your help so far!

I tried it with DYNAMICPATH as you just showed me but it did not work for me.
The door is buyable and just usual and everything the start_zone is going far behind the door and still the zombies are not following me...

I guess ill look for a better tut next time..

post screenshots of the kvp's of the door/trigger/clip etc so we can take a look a them, and prob see what's wrong.

Maybe the door is too small for the zombies to go through?

Its not, i already checkt that.

Put some pathnodes in front of the door on both sides so they can connect in a straight line
