Zone

A Zone is a BZW map structure that is only a rectangular prism area for spawn or flag zones.

Code

The code for a zone is as follows:

zone name example_zone position 0.0 0.0 0.0 size 1.0 1.0 1.0 rotation 0.0 zoneflag GM,2 OO flag L SW good bad team 0 1 2 3 4 safety 1 2 3 4 end

Valid parameters for the zone are <properties> position=Defines the position of the zone in the word (x/y/x) size=Defines the size of the zone (rectangular prism) rotation=Defines a rotation around the Z axis for the box, in degrees. zoneflag=Generates the flags listed inside this zone (adding flag,n for the quantity). The flags will be generated specifically for the zone, regardless of BZFS options. flag=Listed flags will spawn in the zone. The flags need to be specified in the map via BZFS options. team=Team players will spawn (0 = Rogue, 1 = Red, 2 = Green, 3 = Blue, 4 = Purple). saftey=Team flags listed here will fly to the closest safety zone when dropped (0 = Rogue, 1 = Red, 2 = Green, 3 = Blue, 4 = Purple). </properties>

Appearance

Zones have no appearance in a map other than what they define (ex: flags or tank spawns).

History

Zones were added to BZFlag in version 2.0.0.
