I want an entire room to be moved. I have risers in that room, so I have to teleport the structs as they can't be moved. So I need first to stop the zombies spawning. I tried by turning off the zone and then on with: Code Snippet Plaintext Copy zone trigger_off(); // ... zone trigger_on(); And this actually works, but it doesn't move the zone as it is disabled. I tried also setting the .is_active = false and .is_enabled = false, but they do nothing. Any idea?

Im not sure what the function trigger_off() does, but the function disable_trigger() move's the trigger down 10000 units. So it's not actually disabled, it's just out of reach.
Maybe that's the same with trigger_off() and that's messing with your move commands??

Also, the zone being an info_volume, i'm not sure if you can move those. Could be you need to 'teleport' them as well, just like the structs.

enable_trigger() / disable_trigger() functions from _zombiemode_utility:

Spoiler: click to open...

Code Snippet

Plaintext

disable_trigger()
{
	if( !IsDefined( self.disabled ) || !self.disabled )
	{
		self.disabled = true; 
		self.origin = self.origin -( 0, 0, 10000 ); 
	}
}

enable_trigger()
{
	if( !IsDefined( self.disabled ) || !self.disabled )
	{
		return; 
	}

	self.disabled = false; 
	self.origin = self.origin +( 0, 0, 10000 ); 
}

I used something like this before to turn a zone off.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

zonedisabletrig = getent ("zonedisabletrig" , "targetname");
zonedisabletrig waittill ("trigger");
for(x=0;x<level.zones[ "start_zone" ].spawners.size;x++)
{
level.zones[ "start_zone" ].spawners[x].locked_spawner = true;
level.enemy_spawns = array_remove_nokeys(level.enemy_spawns, level.zones[ "start_zone" ].spawners[x]);
}
level.zones[ "start_zone" ].is_enabled = false;	// Does the zone need to be evaluated?
level.zones[ "start_zone" ].is_occupied = false;	// Is the zone occupied by a player?
level.zones[ "start_zone" ].is_active = false;		// Are the spawners currently enabled for spawning?
}
[code/]

I like that function, but I don't understand it at all, so I think I wouldn't know to turn the zone on again lol.

Anyway, thank both of you very much for the ideas, but I made a shi*** function that changes the origin of the zone, then disables it and, after the move has been done, it enables the zone again. I don't like how I made it but it works, so I I'll use it.

}

Just a wild guess

To enable a zone I think all you need is
//
activatemyzonetrigger waittill ("trigger");
maps\_zombiemode_zone_manager::enable_zone( "zone1" );
//
