Thank you so much; this worked! However when I load up my map, My screen goes black and I error out to this.

AIType zm_nuked_basic_01 has no characters specified. There should be at least one associated with an AIType.

WHAT?!?!?!?!

Thats really weird. I dont have the "fix" per say, but here is a suggestion.

I had been working on my map the whole weekend and was having really weird spawn issues. I didnt get an answer here so I simply pressed "I" on the keyboard to select everythng in my map, I then made it a prefab and just started a new map. Extend all the volumes big enough then just load the prefab.

I wont be able to answer your second question but, the way you change the sky box is by selecting your sun volume. Go into the entity info tab and click the three dots right next to ssi1 under light state 1.

I have my lighting set up in a room so that it is close enough to cast some light, but far enough that its pretty dim. However with the height of the zombies their heads are almost directly within the "beam" making them very bright white. Any ideas? http://imgur.com/a/Q7YtD

1st issue. In radiant my maps skybox is set to night time. The lighting and everything is fine until I get into the map to test something and its still basic daytime. No clue what im doing wrong.

2nd issue, just looking around the map I seem to get these sort of "burn ins" of the map and my weapon, sometimes they go away if I just look at the sky or something and sometimes not, heres a picture http://imgur.com/a/ArSur

Have you tried selecting all your walls and pressing "fit texture" under the textures tab?

Just to let you know, your first image isnt working

thank you sir, updated

I dont really understand what im doing but I would have thought what I am trying to achieve would be realitively easy.

I am wanting to spawn the player in only with fist, each punch activates thunder wall and a custom punching sound.

I started off with trying to just spawn the player in with a different weapon other than the fist by using this bit of code http://imgur.com/a/xSaRa and I am coming up with these errors http://imgur.com/a/7L3yS

Just hope someone can put me on the right path here!
