Need Help With My Prefab

Hi All,

I decided to create a PreFab POI based on the apartment building I live in, and have run into a snag: I cannot get sleepers to spawn. I have watched several videos and read a few articles, but I cannot figure out what I've done wrong.

So, I placed sleepers. Then I make the sleeper volumes. I hit K and edit the sleeper volume, selecting the type of zombies, how many, and their state. I close that and save the prefab. Then I try playtesting and no sleepers spawn. I am just flummoxed at this point.

I feel like I must have missed a step or failed to check a box or something, but I am unable to figure this out on my own. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help!

Are you making them active volumes, or something else?

Are you using MinScripts? (I'm assuming not.)

Have you tried testing in a world instead of Playtest?

I'd be willing to take a look at the POI if you were okay with that, or you could share your screen on Discord. I can be found there as "zztong".

 
I've tried Active, Passive and Attack but nothing worked.

I hope I'm not using Minscript, since I have no idea what that is. I assume I'd know if I was using it. 😆

I tried both as a Playtest and then also on an RWG map. 

Right now, I have copied the Prefab and pasted it into a new editor window, then removed all my zombies and saved. I'm about to try placing some zombies and activating sleeper volumes again. If this doesn't work, I'll look into sharing it with you!

Well, since I'm still stumped, I'd be happy to share my POI for you to troubleshoot. What's the best way to do that? Attach a zip of it here?

By chance you wouldn't happen to have zombies turned off in the game menu at all. Like if you start a new game go to the advanced and check if the zs spawning is on or off. If off turn back on

That would affect zs spawning in play test to

If we connect via Discord, you can transfer a ZIP that way. Otherwise, you'll have to put the ZIP somewhere and send me a URL. You can send the URL to me via direct message or post it here if you don't mind others potentially downloading it.

OMG! That has got to be it.  I turned zs off so I could see what the POI looks like in RWG. Never even occurred to me that it would effect play testing. 
 

I knew it had to be some stupid, simple thing I’d missed! Thank you!
