I'm trying to add zones to SP but no matter what i try the game always freezes and the console gives no hint as to why. I've tried changing the code up a bit but it its always the same result. Code: Code Snippet Plaintext Copy begin_zone_think(zone) { while(1) { players = get_players(); zone = getEntarray(zone, "targetname"); if(players istouching(zone) ) { zone.is_active = true; } else { zone.is_active = false; } } if(zone.is_active == true) { zone_spawners = getEntarray(zone.target, "targetname"); zone_spawners dospawn(); } wait(1); } Obviously the way the AI is spawned is stupid. It was just something i put in there to see what would happen.

SP zones in Scripting

Ok didn't see that you changed it but my thinking is it is something with this

Code Snippet

Plaintext

if(level.zone.volumes.is_active)
{
       level.zone_spawners.count = 9999;
       level.zone_spawners dospawn();
       iprintln("AI spawned");
}

1 being volumes is not doing anything. Possibly could be messy something up, not sure what it could be replaced with however.
2 being the if statement. Should be based off how I learned code should be if(level.zone.volumes.is_active == true)
Sorry if this doesn't help of has been said but just things I see as of now

I saw something in _zombiemode_zone_manager.gsc that had had .volumes in it, like this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

level.zone.volumes.is_active

Do you think that mades a difference?

I think the IF statement is correct because i see alot of code where Treyarch declares a variable true or false and then does an IF statement the exact same way, so i assume the IF statement checks for true if not defined.

i dont know if the true stuff in the if statement really mattters but it doesnt hurt you if you add it anyway xD

Yah I dont think the if would do anything but like jjbradman says doesnt hurt to try but my thinking would still be the volumes but I can check through some of the code soon to double check

You need to change the variables around. zones should have the variable i and players should have the variable e based on how you set it up

Still nothing. The IF statement still isn't working properly because its still saying i'm in the zone when i'm not.

Well, in your zone array, you just have the names of the zones. You cannot check if a player is touching a 'name of a zone'. You need to actually acquire the info_volume entities somewhere in your code to be able to use the for the touch check.

You mean get the entity in the game with getEntarray();, right? i still have that in my code:

Yes, you do have it there. But you don't use the volume entity for the IsTouching() check, instead you use the zone's name, which won't work, obviously.

Then what do i use exactly? I see in Treyarch scripts that they do practically the same thing, unless i'm missing something.

You obviously don't do the same, as I have explained. And I have also explained what you need to do: You need to use the info_volume entity (entities) of the zone and check if the player is touching that (them).
