This guy is explaining zones perfectly!:

(Content removed from quote.)

this was tutorial i followed

start zone -> zone 2

enter zone 1?
 

i noticed this after i made the post and fixed it lol

 i have been working on my first map for a good amount of time now and i ran into a few problems but i always managed to figure them out. except zoning, i have tried to follow multiple tuts and i have even tried making a test map so i can practice scripting them, i have made sure my zombies/info_volumes/triggers all have the correct KVP's but yet nothing


here is my script from my gsc

dlc3_zone_init()
{
   //add_adjacent_zone( "start_zone",      "zone_2",   "enter_zone_1" );
   /*
   =============
   ///ScriptDocBegin
   "Name: add_adjacent_zone( <zone_2>, <zone_2>, <flag>, <one_way> )"
   "Summary: Sets up adjacent zones."
   "MandatoryArg: <zone_2>: Name of first Info_Volume"
   "MandatoryArg: <flag>: Flag to be set to initiate zones"
   "OptionalArg: <one_way>: Make <zone_1> adjacent to <zone_2>. Defaults to false."
   "Example: add_adjacent_zone( "receiver_zone",      "outside_east_zone",   "enter_outside_east" );"
   ///ScriptDocEnd
   =============
   */
}


any help would be great, even if its discord screen share
