Zombie spawn distance?

[Dr.EvilZ]

i remember way back in the day someone said to me zombies spawn when players are in the area and i was wondering if thats true and if so, what is that distance?

About 100 meters and loot is the same although loot spawns less frequent. This also depends on how fast you are travelling.

so if i see zombies more than 100m away, they're not spawned from me?

Yes if you see zeds roaming more than 100 meters away chances are you have company

That's how the mod used to do it. I was under the impression servers spawned them globally in the stand alone.

i read that they spawn global and will be seen or spawn at 700m or something like that still not sure

Stand alone? you mean community servers i suppose but absolutely no they do not globally spawn.

Pretty sure its a mix now yeah.

Not really sure what you mean by global spawning. Never heard of that. Please explain if you dont mind.

[GobboKirk]

Basically that they spawn independent of players being in the area or not.

zombies spawns on entire map. No matter is there a player nearby or not.
it is the main reason why the BIS made dayz standalone. Because it was impossible in dayz mod

Well that is news to me and makes no sense at all.

very simple to put it, zombies are spawned all over the map but only show with in 700m or less

That would cause some serious lag issues. This would be the only game i ever heard of that would use resources to path ai when there is no need for it and frankly DayZ engine would grind to a halt.

there is no AI for zombies in static state

Global spawning haha yes i get it they do spawn on the map but the idea that they are roaming around invisible until you happen onto one is not correct.
