zombie spawner

[frigid crystal]

i wanna spawn zombies on random positions in the map but i dont know how can anyone help??

[deep harbor]

Wouldnt you make a rng for the pos of zombies ?

[urban ridge]

you can use math.random to get the X and Z axis

and also you can do :Clone on the zombie model that you have

[lime thunder]

or he can place a lot of spawn points and just choose random

[urban ridge]

kidna stinky method tho

i dont really like that

[lime thunder]

its good for beginners

[urban ridge]

you can use raycast down from sky

local function findRandomSpawnPoint()
    local mapSize = 500 --map size in here
    local randomX = math.random(-mapSize/2, mapSize/2)
    local randomZ = math.random(-mapSize/2, mapSize/2)
    local skyPosition = Vector3.new(randomX, 200, randomZ) --how far it start
    
    local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
    raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
    raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {} -- add here things to ignore
    
    local rayResult = workspace:Raycast(skyPosition, Vector3.new(0, -300, 0), raycastParams)
    
    if rayResult then
        return rayResult.Position + Vector3.new(0, 5, 0) 
    end
    return nil
end

also as cash said you can create invisable parts around you map as spawn points which is the only positive thing about it thats it more controlled

you can also do spawn regions , for example

local spawnRegions = {
    {min = Vector3.new(-100, 0, -100), max = Vector3.new(100, 0, 100)}, -- center
    {min = Vector3.new(200, 0, -50), max = Vector3.new(300, 0, 50)}     -- side
}

and how can i do that? im new to scripting lol

oh ok

thanks!

[urban ridge]

this is actually a fire method, ive never thought of that

[urban ridge]

figure it out :D

[frigid crystal]

wait lemme try

[urban ridge]

thats the fun of scripting

[frigid crystal]

where do i need to place the script?

@urban ridge

[urban ridge]

server script service

[frigid crystal]

oh ok

i dont know what to type in map size, i have four walls, with the size 400, so that means i need to type 400 in mapSize?? ||@urban ridge||

[urban ridge]

how wide is your map?

[frigid crystal]

400x400 i think

400x396
