Custom sleeper volume in POI works in play test but not in live game

[RippedWarrior]

Hi everyone, I am attempting to make a custom a POI with a custom sleeper volume. When I play-test the POI the custom sleeper spawns work fine, but when I put the POI in a live game (local, single player) the custom sleeper does not spawn.

I'm hoping someone could take a look and see what I'm missing? Thanks in advance

1. gamestages.xml

<group name="RWzombieboss" spawner="RWzombieboss"/>

<spawner name="RWzombieboss">
        <gamestage stage="1">
            <spawn group="RWzombieboss" num="1" maxAlive="1" duration="10"/>
        </gamestage>
    </spawner>
 

2. entitygroups.xml

<entitygroup name="RWzombieboss">
   bossBull
    </entitygroup> 

3. Sleeper volume





4. Play test, boss zombie spawns



5. Live game: no zombie spawn

Thanks!

try something like this

 

<group name="RWzombieboss" spawner="RWzombiebossSpawn"/>

<spawner name="RWzombiebossSpawn">
        <gamestage stage="1">
            <spawn group="RWzombiebossGroup" num="1" maxAlive="1" duration="10"/>
        </gamestage>
    </spawner>
 

2. entitygroups.xml

<entitygroup name="RWzombiebossGroup">
   bossBull, 1
    </entitygroup>

Same behaviour, spawns in play test but not in live map. Thank you though!

try unticking the 3 you got ticked there

That did not do it, but thank you.

I have made some progress. I tried inserting my custom group into an existing sleeper volume and the zombies spawned in a live world.

So, I can rule out the entitygroup and spawns as the issue, it's definitely related to the sleeper volume!

 

[FranticDan]

in your live game, are you starting a fresh world each time you test?

 

[RippedWarrior]

Not originally but I did start doing that last night. 

The super vexing part is that it does work in one sleeper volume but not the one I want.

EDIT: I've had a success! I put in 6 sleeper blocks in the volume, set to spawn only 1 zombie, and it worked in live game.

Still an issue for me, as I'm trying to get the zombie to spawn in a specific location, but this is promising!

you could do this, it will spawn what you want regardless

<block name="sleeperTyrant">
    <property name="CreativeMode" value="None"/>
    <property name="Extends" value="sleeperSit"/>
    <property name="ExcludeWalkType" value="Crawler"/>
    <property name="Model" value="@:Entities/Zombies/Zombies/SleeperPoses/idleSleepPrefab.prefab"/>
    <property name="Pose" value="5"/>
    <property name="LookIdentity" value="0,0,1"/>
    <property name="SpawnGroup" value="ZombieTyrant"/>
</block>

    <property name="Model" value="@:Entities/Zombies/Zombies/SleeperPoses/idleSleepPrefab.prefab"/>

</block>

ooh that is brilliant- thank you very much.

What I discovered this morning, before I had to go to work - is that if I place 4 sleeper blocks in the one sleeper volume, my boss zombie will spawn in live game. 

What you suggested above looks like it will be much more reliable, I can't wait to try it.
