Zombies not spawning
So, I created a survival map, added nav mesh, it works perfectly until I start the survival mode... and no zombies are in sight. Not one. I was lucky once and a random tank spawned, but that's it. I added the info_zombie_spawn, but it just isn't working.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and in the top left corner I keep seeing this spammed:

MOB SPAWN ERROR: ANYWHERE = empty spawn area set.

The director isn't finding any areas it can spawn zombies in. Make sure you have places that are out of sight from the surviviors, preferably some they cant even get to.

I do have spots outside of the survivors` sight. The director apparently is too blind to find them. :P

It can be pretty picky on the distance from the survivors as well. If your map is small, it might not find good position far enough away. You'll also need to make sure that the nav mesh is properly connected to the spwaning areas, with the bright blue two-way connections, and that it has been analyzed (it will complain in console if it isn't).

My map is small, so that could be it.

Wait, I have to put nav mesh on the zombies too, right? That's what I did...
