Creating zombie spawn points

[dayz247 59]

My apologies if this is within another forum post, I've been searching all day and haven't found anything that would work.

I am trying to create zombie spawn points, without having a "visible" building and no loot spawns.

I have tried placing dog houses under ground, but they seem to end up above ground once merged and uploaded to the server.

I have tried created invisible Heli spots (H-invisible) then modifying config.cpp with the code below to have it spawn zombies, but this caused the game to get stuck at "waiting for host"

H-invisible spawn code:

class ForestRoaming: Default {
  lootChance = 0;
  zombieChance = 0.9;
  zombieClass[] = {"zZombie_Base","zZombie_Base","z_teacher","z_suit1","z_suit2","z_soldier","z_soldier_heavy","z_policeman"};
  minRoaming = 0;
  maxRoaming = 10;
};
class HeliHEmpty: ForestRoaming {};

Does anyone know of a working way (or how to fix either of the above two issues) to create zombie spawn points without visible buildings and loot?

Theres a post on OpenDayZ.net that talks about this, and thanks "Mamu1234" for this:

In your config.cpp

class Woodspawn { // Woodpawn-Test
zombieChance = 0.45;
minRoaming = 1;
maxRoaming = 5;
zombieClass[] = {"zZombie_Base","z_hunter","z_villager1"};
};

then

class HeliHEmpty: Woodspawn {};

Edit: Maybe since you have that loot has a percentage to spawn (even if 0) the server expects their to be loot and since you dont have any set loot thats causing the server to not load. Im still learning code so this theory may be wrong, just an idea!

Both of these are placed in the config.cpp right?

Yes, im pretty sure that is correct, if that doesnt work you can go here and use some context clues or something xD

I also reccomend using opendayz for lots of other things, ive gotten so much great stuff from here!

well, that solved the server hanging issue, but still no zombie spawn lol.

Hmm, check your server.RPT and see if theirs anything fishy in there

Just normal junk showing my login, write[pass] etc etc .... i spawned 500m from the helihempty , ran to it... no zombies lol.

Driving me up the wall.
