can someone help me with debugging some zones? whenever i open up a new zone it freezes and there no zombies will spawn in the new zone. ive checked multiple times and i dont have anything spelled wrong with my add_adjacent_zone section and there aren't any volumes touching each other in radiant. i also cant figure out how to get any of the zone_debuggers to work if anyone could help me with that too.

this is the zone script i have so far

	add_adjacent_zone( "start_zone", "kt_100_hallway_zone", "enter_kt_100_hallway_zone");
	add_adjacent_zone( "start_zone", "kt_middle_stairs_zone", "enter_kt_middle_stairs_zone");
	add_adjacent_zone( "kt_middle_stairs_zone", "kt_ground_floor_zone", "enter_kt_ground_floor_zone");

could someone please help me?

That freeze is usually a script trying to get an ent that doesn't exist or a while loop with out any waits in it, or a call to a function that has a wait in it, instead of a thread to a function. The error last for about 2 seconds and then moves on. Since it happens when you open a new zone and no zombies spawn, I have to ask you to check all your kvps once again. If anyone of the kvps, door, trigger, zone volume, or spawner/riser, add_adjacent are off it will do that. I see this issue all the time. I fought it myself quite a bit. It is very annoying.

I've ran into situations before where they never figured it out, started a new map and copied everything over from the old map and it was fine, without them finding out why. I can only assume it was a script error then, but they didn't say.

I've never added the zone debugger so I can't help there.

i actually figured out it had to do with the fact that one of my zones didnt have any spawners so it was screwing it up

Well their you go.

Your kvps won't match if you don't have any spawners, lol. Good job figuring it out.
