#Do zombie sandbox settings apply to already-loaded zombies?

I'm hosting a build 41 game with new players, so I turned down some sandbox settings like zombie sight, hearing, and memory. I'd like to turn those settings back up now for the same game. Will the new settings apply only to newly-spawned zombies? Or will they also apply retroactively to zombies that have already been spawned?

They only apply to new zombies, however the zombies should get respawned fairly quickly during respawn timers / migrations

Ok, thanks! If it applies to migrating zombies, does that mean that reloading zombies by fully leaving an area and then returning would change anything about the settings for the zombies there? Or are new zombies actually created during migration?

#

(I have Respawn Hours set to 0, so those at least won't factor in. I'm wondering if this means outside of migration only zombies in unvisited areas will have the new settings)

I am not certain about that, since basically all offscreen zombies are not actually spawned in yet, they are mainly just simulated

#

And once a player gets close, they actually get spawned
