Editing 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 # Where is the zone? 
    size 1.0 1.0 1.0 # The size of the zone 
    rotation 0.0 # The rotation of the zone 
    zoneflag GM,2 OO # Actually generates each flag listed w/in this zone (add ,n for quantity) 
    flag L SW good bad # where flag may spawn 
    team 0 1 2 3 4 # where players may spawn 
    safety 1 2 3 4 # dropped team flags will fly to the closest safety zone 
  end

Valid parameters for the zone are
*'''position'''; Defines the position of the zone in the word
*'''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)
*'''flag'''; Listed flags will spawn in the zone.
*'''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).

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

-==Function==
+  zone
-Zones are used to define spawn positions in within the XY volume of the Zone. The Z value for the spawn position will be the lower bounds of the volume in Z. Normal spawn rules still apply for spawns generated by zones and may disqualify a spawn from happening in a zone (Z clearance, shots, players, etc..). When multiple zones of the same type are defined, a random one is used for each spawn, if possible.

+    position 0.0 0.0 0.0 # Where is the zone?
+    size 1.0 1.0 1.0 # The size of the zone
+    rotation 0.0 # The rotation of the zone
+    zoneflag GM,2 OO # Actually generates each flag listed w/in this zone (add ,n for quantity)

+==Appearence==

 ==History==
-Zones were added to BZFlag in version 2.0.0.
 ==Editor Support==
 The zone object is not supported by any known editors.
-==Notes==
-Working with flag zones make sure you have enough clearance for flags, default flag height is 10 world units. A dropped flag will stay in a short tunnel if _flagHeight is less than 1.
-If the zone is not on the ground, be sure to set -fb or -sb, or your spawns will always be on the ground.
