I just found this in treyarchs stupid ass code...

Explains why people had GSpawn errors with my  perks, as well as without

in zombiemode_utility.gsc - youll find this function



Not only do they spawn a script_origin that they dont delete - meaning every time this function is called another ent is created and lost

They also check if is_enabled "is Defined" - but not if its "true" - so this will always return true even if the zone "isnt" active...

Replace it with this :

Nice, great find!

Do you know when and how often that function is used?

		}
	}
	scr_org delete();
	return one_valid_zone;
}

And this script is from the same people, who the person who shall not be mentioned said have no issues in their scripts, and we are to blame for any bugs..

+1 though, now we have a working function for checking active zones.

Great find harry! Good work fixing.

+1 though, now we have a working function for checking active zones.

Even the biggest of companies have bad/badly written scripts. Can be a result of many things. "He who shall not be named" sounds like a Harry Potter thing.

Awesome +1

Lol I found this too a while back, amazing how they managed to fuck this though. But they fixed it in BO1, doesn't suprise me.
