Zombies in certain zones not spawning in Scripting

Created on: December 22, 2016, 08:18:08 am

I have encountered a problem with my zones. 4/9 Zones have zombies spawning. All the zones work as intended and don't kill me when I enter any of them. I have made sure everything is spelled correctly in the targets for the zones.

Here is the code in my .gsc file. and below the code is a map of the level with the zones. 1 = Zone1, 2 = Zone2 etc

Code Snippet

Plaintext

function usermap_test_zone_init()
{
	zm_zonemgr::add_adjacent_zone( "start_zone", "zone1", "enter_zone1");
    zm_zonemgr::add_adjacent_zone( "zone1", "zone3", "enter_zone3");
    zm_zonemgr::add_adjacent_zone( "zone3", "zone4", "enter_zone4");
    zm_zonemgr::add_adjacent_zone( "zone4", "zone5", "enter_zone5");
    zm_zonemgr::add_adjacent_zone( "zone5", "zone6", "enter_zone6");
    zm_zonemgr::add_adjacent_zone( "zone6", "zone7", "enter_zone7");
    zm_zonemgr::add_adjacent_zone( "zone7", "zone8", "enter_zone8");
    zm_zonemgr::add_adjacent_zone( "start_zone", "zone2", "enter_zone2");
	level flag::init( "always_on" );
	level flag::set( "always_on" );
}

If you're doing a split map like this, you should probably stop using numbers for zone names. It'll only confuse you. What you need to do is basically zone twice. One path for the right wing and one path for the left wing. You only have flags to enter from the right side of the map. You need to have something like this:

function usermap_test_zone_init()
{
	zm_zonemgr::add_adjacent_zone( "start_zone", "zone1", "enter_zone1");
    zm_zonemgr::add_adjacent_zone( "zone1", "zone3", "enter_zone3");
    zm_zonemgr::add_adjacent_zone( "zone3", "zone4", "enter_zone4");
    zm_zonemgr::add_adjacent_zone( "zone4", "zone5", "enter_zone5");
    zm_zonemgr::add_adjacent_zone( "zone5", "zone6", "enter_zone6");
    zm_zonemgr::add_adjacent_zone( "zone6", "zone7", "enter_zone7");
    zm_zonemgr::add_adjacent_zone( "zone7", "zone8", "enter_zone8");
    zm_zonemgr::add_adjacent_zone( "start_zone", "zone2", "enter_zone2");

    zm_zonemgr::add_adjacent_zone("zone2", "zone6", "enter_zone6AGAIN");
zm_zonemgr::add_adjacent_zone("zone6", "zone7", "enter_zone7AGAIN");
zm_zonemgr::add_adjacent_zone("zone7", "zone5", "enter_zone5AGAIN");
zm_zonemgr::add_adjacent_zone("zone5", "zone4", "enter_zone4AGAIN");
//etc
	level flag::init( "always_on" );
	level flag::set( "always_on" );
}

As for any zombies not spawning, I'd check to make sure that they have the correct KVPs on each spawner for that specific zone as well as make sure that the player_volume has the KVP of "target / ZONENAME_spawners"

I understand. I thought how I did my zones would be an issue, just wasn't too sure. Thanks, I'll see if it fixes it. All KVP's were correct. I made sure that wasn't the cause.
