Code:

ZE_spawnFromPosition = {x = 1464, y = 1029, z = 13}
ZE_spawnToPosition = {x = 1600, y = 1092, z = 13}

You know ,your zone are very long or don't edit your position from and topos?
why you need put zone frompos topos and zombies appear in zone

so what??
edit the frompos and topos according to your map
frompos is the left top corner of the area.. and topos is the right bottom corner of the area

lego · Apr 1, 2013

XML:

ZE_spawnFromPosition = {x = 1464, y = 1029, z = 13}
ZE_spawnToPosition = {x = 1600, y = 1092, z = 13}

was my frompos & toppos , i changed it to:

XML:

ZE_spawnFromPosition = {x = 1456, y = 1017, z = 13}
ZE_spawnToPosition = {x = 1601, y = 1104, z = 13}

still nothing .. :/ they wont spawn..
