Way to force zombies to respawn in different areas? in Help Desk

Created on: November 23, 2017, 03:52:39 am

Back in Black Ops zombies, on Five for example, when the player takes the elevator down, all of the zombies on the current floor that are outside of the windows and actively chasing the player, will respawn at windows on the floor that the player then arrives at.

In the map I am currently making, I have the player drop down a large hole, not quite an elevator, but I would love to know if there is a way to force any zombies above to respawn at that bottom level when all of the players have dropped down. Is there any way of achieving this, if so I would love any links or information! Alternatively, I have been trying to get the zombies to simply climb down, but the way I have the hole set up is proving to make that a bit difficult, I may just have to do some rearranging!

Did you look through the API, it must be possible!

I have a similar problem to you, I think in this case maybe if you put some zones in between the floors and activate then automatically (don't remember how to do it though) the game SHOULD spawn zombies only in the nearest zones, that means the top floor would be excluded. I have no ideia if this would work.

What you could do also would be disabling the zones you don't want zombies to spawn, the only problem would be that it would only work solo since if you deactivate the zone everyone inside it dies.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

function disablezone(zone) {
	level.zones[zone].is_enabled = false;
	level.zones[zone].is_spawning_allowed = false;
	level notify(zone);
}
