So, someone just asked a question, "How to make zombies only spawn in the room that you are currently in", and it seems a lot of people don't know about this. I just recently found out about it so thought I would share it with the rest of you.

In your

dlc3_zone_init()

function in mapname.gsc, where you add your adjacent zones. There is a fourth parameter that, when set to true, will only spawn the zombies in the zone, if you are in that zone This is useful, if you teleport and you want the zombies to spawn in the "teleport_zone", but not the other zones.

To get it working, you just need to add true after your script_flag parameter, like so.

add_adjacent_zone( "start_zone","zone1","enter_zone1",true );

And that will make it so the zombies will only spawn in a particular zone, if a player is in that zone.

Moved to Tutorials

Everything I've seen about this insinuates it's for "one way"

Just to indicate one leads in the other but not "back" to the first - so would stop zombies spawning in that zone but not others?

I'll check the function later but I'm pretty sure that's what it does ( example sliding in to one zone, if in the zone you slide "from" they won't spawn in the zone you slide "to" even if it's active )

This ^ is true, but if all zones are one way, then no zone is adjacent, therefore will only spawn in that zone, I would assume? if it is working? Personally I would just add each zone to the initial zones array, in mapname.gsc, which will make this happen also.

zones[ zones.size ] = "this zone"
//...
level.DLC3.initialZones = zones;

But if it works, sweet! Probably easier for most.

Thanks for this

Nice tut .this very necessary for big map.thanks alot
