Forcespawn ERROR

What causes this? Not all of my spawners have "undeletable" checked.

Any Ideas?


I got this after level 30 in my map and the game crashed with this error. We this there was to many zombies in the map. Is that possible?

you added that it happens afther you get to round 30
so i had to eddit this post.

make shere you have on your zombie spawns a key,value

script_forcespawn 1


targetname zombie_spawner_init (so he spawns when the level starts)

count 9999 (number of times he can spawn)

script_noteworthy zombie_spawner

spawnflags 3 (this ticks spawner and forcespawn for us)


follow the tut by techno this should help yea.

Do I really need the
"spawnflags 3 (this ticks spawner and forcespawn for us)"

What about the "undeletable" box?

I have many spawners in my map and would not mind if a few from the begining of the map stopped making zombies because it takes to long for them to run accross the map.

I was considering having the zombies linked to the "volume" the players we're in.

The more zombies the better. I just don't want the game to crash and give me that error!

If you already ticked "Spawner" and "Forcespawn", then you don't need to put the spawnflags KVP, as it should already be added.

Well you are either too good, using god mode or your map is too easy, if you can get to level 30 ;-)

I would use the dynamic spawning by linking spawners to volumes. It is very easy to modify the code to suit your map. I have my code checking the adjacent volumes that players are in and spawning zombies from 2 or 3 volumes, depending on where they are. In fact all of my zombies are dynamic, I don't have any targeted by doors or blockers, I am just using flags and the volume check.

The zombiemode scripts should be only allowing so many spawners in the map (28 I think) then it will wait for a free place.

Spawnflags tick the box for you, that's all.

Un-deletable means it will not delete the 28th zombie in order to spawn the 29th. It will wait for it to die, realise it's at 27 and then spawn an extra one to get back to the total.

I've seen people go to extremely high rounds through cheating and their games did not end so maybe your zombie scripts have changed?

Yes it did!
init_levelvars()
{
level.intermission = false;
level.zombie_total = 0;
level.no_laststandmissionfail = true;

level.zombie_vars = [];

// Default to not zombify the player till further support
set_zombie_var( "zombify_player", false );

set_zombie_var( "below_world_check", -1000 );

// Respawn in the spectators in between rounds
set_zombie_var( "spectators_respawn", true );

// Round
set_zombie_var( "zombie_use_failsafe", true );
set_zombie_var( "zombie_round_time", 30 );
set_zombie_var( "zombie_between_round_time", 10 );
set_zombie_var( "zombie_intermission_time", 15 );

// Spawning
set_zombie_var( "zombie_spawn_delay", 1 );
set_zombie_var( "zombie_spawn_dog_delay", 8 );

// AI
set_zombie_var( "zombie_health_increase", 100 );
set_zombie_var( "zombie_health_increase_percent", 10, 100 );
set_zombie_var( "zombie_health_start", 150 );
set_zombie_var( "zombie_max_ai", 48 );
set_zombie_var( "zombie_ai_per_player", 12 );

Change max ai to "24" and then save.

Here's mine:

	// Round	
	set_zombie_var( "zombie_use_failsafe", 				true );
	set_zombie_var( "zombie_round_time", 				30 );
	set_zombie_var( "zombie_between_round_time", 		10 );
	set_zombie_var( "zombie_intermission_time", 		15 );

	// Spawning
	set_zombie_var( "zombie_spawn_delay", 				3 );
	set_zombie_var( "zombie_spawn_dog_delay", 			8 );

	// AI 
	set_zombie_var( "zombie_health_increase", 			100 );
	set_zombie_var( "zombie_health_increase_percent", 	10, 	100 );
	set_zombie_var( "zombie_health_start", 				150 );
	set_zombie_var( "zombie_max_ai", 					24 );
	set_zombie_var( "zombie_ai_per_player", 			6 );

Infact change everything back to default, 6 zombie per player = 24.

12 would be confusing for the game
