spawning zombies

[Mathewjknott]

Whats the best way to spawn zombies at a set location?

Im running a epoch server and working on some custom map edits and want a lot of zombies to spawn quite oftern. I have tried the mass grave but the flys are annoying amd also it lags out a bit when i add a few of them.

Is there any script that i could use to set X number of zombies to spawn at Y location every Z seconds?

If not what buildinh could i lower into the ground fully and get zombies to spawn loads.

Thanks

Have tried this but just cant get it to work

this is what i have in my files

scripts\spawn_zombies.sqf

_zombletypes = [
"zZombie_Base",
"z_worker1",
"z_worker2",
"z_worker3",
"z_villager1",
"z_villager2",
"z_villager3",
"z_suit1",
"z_suit2",
"z_soldier",
"z_soldier_heavy",
"z_soldier_pilot",
"z_policeman",
"z_teacher",
"z_doctor",
"z_hunter",
"z_priest"
];
_zomblesposition =    [13616.088,5.3405762e-005,3153.3975];
_i = 1;
    for "_i" from 1 to 30 do
    {
        _genzombles = _zombletypes call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;
        _agent = createAgent [_genzombles, _zomblesposition, [], 10, "NONE"];
        _zombleselectedpos = getPosATL _agent;
        [_zombleselectedpos,_agent] execFSM "\z\addons\dayz_code\system\zombie_agent.fsm";
    };

mission.sqm

class Item13
        {
            position[]={13610.223,-1.1444092e-005,3190.2554};
            a=50;
            b=50;
            activationBy="ANY";
            repeating=1;
            interruptable=1;
            age="UNKNOWN";
            name="ZombleSpawnTrigger";
            expCond="(vehicle player) in thislist;";
            expActiv="zomblespawnt = [] execVM ""scripts\spawn_zombies.sqf"";";
            expDesactiv="terminate zomblespawnt;";
            class Effects
            {
            };
        };

I know the coordinates are correct as have checked them by moving my self there in the database. I just cant get the zombies to spawn

Not sure if name="ZombleSpawnTrigger"; needs to be the same name as expActiv="zomblespawnt and expDesactiv="terminate zomblespawnt; ?

Also is it supposed to be zombles and not zombies?

yeah there are some tougher zombies and also some that carry special gear

 

[Mathewjknott]

as there is a "z_new_villager4", im guessing there could be a 1,2 and 3 for this also?

Thanks this is just what i was looking for and will make my add on im making perfect.

Im guessing not, but is there anything like this that would work for ai? Just a simple ai that shoots at anything other then zombies. Im currently using static spawns from sarge ai

Ebay,

Am i correct that if i set this to zero:

repeating=1;

It will only activate once (each restart)?

Damm EBAY, nice work there mate

Hey, this is interesting stuff!
I have been looking for someone who could show everyone how you could spawn AI at the random heli crashsites. I already have the Sarge AI installed, so I imagine there's a relatively simple way to add this function?
