For a bot friendly map use a "trigger move" if you want it to activate when people crosses the Triggering tile. i would make a button triggering an explosion next to the breakable, that would make it a bit carrier like though, and bots dont use it.

Trigger the explosion, and the wall should break. There might be a better way though. Good luck. You could create a breakable object, and then have an explosion triggerable next to it.

But don't have a clue if this is possible. Trigger an env_breakable only destroys the breakable. tried func_dynwalls, but they aren't breakabe. Has someone an idea?

I gave the map a try. Quite a challenge. Still haven't gotten through it yet. Me and a friend like to play Zombie maps as coop, so we will give it a go next time around. :) Thanks again for your comments. Hey Proxe,

Each Node counts for an amount of % For example. 1 Node placed, that spot will have 100% priority of checking FIRST. 2 Nodes placed, Each spot has 50% of being checked FIRST 4 Nodes placed Each spot has 25% chance of Being checked FIRST. And so on. This is VERY usefull for zombiemaps, so that you can ensure that zombies will check every corner of your maps. I have been doing some research and it seems that the only way to keep autobalance OFF in "Zombies!" gamemode is through scripts. The map is created and has been published, Most bots (Even survivor bots) are doing very well in the map, and are actually following the objective. Objective is to get through a large map with lots of zombies and in the end into a Safe bunker. Bunker is guarded by two LVL 3 Turrets, and a Teamgate to ensure that zombies wont be in the bunker. Inside the bunker you can find a button (BUTTON --> TRIGGER --> CT WIN) Prefered settings Max Players : 32 Zombie Dmg (taken): 0.8 Zombie Speedmod : 0.3 Active Bots: 16 v 16 DOWNLOAD LINK http://www.filefactory.com/file/b2e2h03/n/zm_flee_bigtown.map Map is Called: zm_flee_bigtown Feedback will be appreciated ;) Hey again ;)

Some other readers were wondering what they were all about. Did you simply place them? Or was there any linking/triggers involved? I noticed that about zombie maps too. Me and a friend like to play us against everyone, but there is some balance that is forced to happen on Zombie maps. Haven't figured out exactly what yet, I suspect it is a bug in the game type. I haven't noticed any other option that would control it, and other game types seem to respect this setting fine. I'd like to take a look at your map when you get it completed. :) Thanks for the comments. Hello Proxe,
